Dime Uno

I actually found this book very helpful in learning Spanish. The comics are a bit cheesy, and definitely set in the 90s, but each one focuses on the new thematic material being learned. The exercises are there to help you apply what you just learned, and they come in a variety too. Along with writing exercises in each chapter, there are also speaking exercises you can do with a partner or group, as well as listening exercises. I love how it also gives you cultural insights as well, and highlights different Spanish speaking countries (or states with high population of Spanish speakers, like CA, TX, and FL). Unit 1 lets you get to know people in CA, Unit 2 takes place in Puerto Rico, Unit 3 in Mexico, Unit 4 in TX, Unit 5 in Spain (an Argentine family visiting Spain), Unit 6 in Florida, and Unit 7 in Spain (this time with a Spanish family). (I might be forgetting a unit, but you get the idea.)It has a Spanish-English dictionary in the back so that when you read a word in a comic, you can look up that Spanish word in the back to see what it means. I even went on to the DIME DOS book when I finished DIME UNO. I found it very easy to follow and understand, and the lessons always build on each other. It's a fun way to learn Spanish. By the way, in response to one low review on here, learning how to conjugate verbs is just a part of learning any foreign language. There's always memorization involved. But the verbs in DIME UNO are introduced slowly, and in multiple ways. You really have time to get those down before moving on.

Thought I needed to replace my daughter's Spanish book, ended up that I didn't, but she got a free book anyway. The company was FAST, the book was very cheap, and it was in GREAT condition! I am glad that I discovered them, in the event that I would need to replace another school book! If anyone needs a school book replacement...this would be the company!!

Good condition as rated.

thanks!

Books, (I bought 2) were in pretty rough condition.

Time tested lessons, work your way through this book and learning Spanish will be much easier.

It's a workbook for my Spanish class. I do find the work in it helpful.

great book--great price--thanxz

I had to purchase this for my spanish class- I honestly forgot about it because by the time it arrived, it was almost done. It's a good beginner book- no complaints.
