ENCUENTROS Con El Espanol. Learn to speak Spanish: Express course for beginners. Arsuaga Herra M.M., Breitman M.S.

This textbook is intended for students starting to study the Spanish language from scratch, and is aimed at using the communicative teaching method. It combines the advantages of the domestic school of inspiration with advanced methods of active learning.

The purpose of the textbook is to promote a fairly short time to develop speech skills and acquisition of vocabulary, as well as the assimilation of the main grammatical topics necessary for everyday communication And for the perception of sounding speech and texts. The main emphasis in the book is on practical knowledge of the Spanish language. Grammar is given not as an end in itself, but as a tool in order to learn the language of communication. The exercises are designed in such a way that students have the opportunity to train both vocabulary and grammar. After each lesson, a communicative task is proposed, where lexical and grammatical topics are involved in the conversation. In some lessons, the games precede the introduction of new material and are intended for repeating vocabulary.

The textbook presents both adapted artistic texts and country's texts that help get acquainted with some realities of modern Spanish life.
