Good Start with Spanish November 5, 2008 Puntos de Partida is a good choice for you to start learning Spanish. However, it requires you to buy more : lab and workbook for practice, besides that, you have to get a CAN-8 software to do the lab work. McGraw Hill truly knows how to earn money from student!!!
Anyway, take a look at this book carefully every chapter. practice it everyday. I think it's the best Spanish book for beginners!
