Aula Internacional 1: Student's Book: Libro del alumno y ejercicios 1 + CD: 0

Product Information

Aula Internacional 2 follows the Instituto Cervantes program. This means that the book contains standard Spanish. However, in some instances you may find a small influence of Castilian Spanish. As you may imagine, this will be more notorious in the listening activities if you’re specifically trying to learn Latin American Spanish. Aula Internacional 2 has 10 units or chapters. In each one, you’ll find the same formatted sections focused on developing your Spanish skills:

Additionally, you can create a free account to have access to some interactive exercises and videos that will help you reinforce concepts learned. In some lessons, you’ll find a suggested video, but it’s not clear where you can access them. They’re not in the online-free resources and it seems that you have to pay extra money for them which I don’t like.Remember that at the end of the book, there’s a ‘more grammar’ section where you can find more thorough explanations and verb conjugation charts. Pros & Cons It contains different activities to reinforce the student’s writing, speaking, listening and reading skills. As its name suggests, Aula Internacional 1 is the first level of a textbook series for adults and young Spanish students. For that reason, this book is written for new Spanish learners that want to start their Spanish learning journey. Since this textbook is going to cover the most basic topics, you don’t need to have any previous knowledge. As a textbook for beginners, Aula Internacional 1 starts with very basic topics such as greetings and progresses into teaching present tense, expressions and some of the most common Spanish verbs. Aula Internacional 1 follows the Instituto Cervantes (the main institution that promotes and teaches Spanish around the world) program. As a result, they try to use a standard Spanish that learners can apply in other Spanish countries.

For many students, the fact that the book is all in Spanish is very challenging, but aside from the big reading section at the end of each lesson, the instructions are simple and easy to follow. Contents Aula Internacional 2 is one of the most popular Spanish textbooks for beginners. Due to its characteristics, this book works better in a classroom environment. However, it can also be used individually or with a small Spanish studying group. Thanks to this layout, the Spanish learner has different opportunities to practice the topics that she or he has learned. It’s fair to say that the reading and cultural section is way too advanced for this level and, in my opinion as a teacher and native speaker, not very useful for a daily Spanish conversation.When I worked as Spanish teacher, I had used and heard about a lot of different Spanish textbooks. For years, I used Aula Internacional 1 as my main textbook for Spanish beginners. So I wanted to provide you a review of this book that is meant to help absolute new Spanish learners. The Aula Internacional books present daily-life situations where you can apply grammar, vocabulary and common expressions. Based on the contexts presented, these books are appropriate for adults and young tourists.

Despite this, Aula Internacional 1 is one of the most popular books to teach and learn Spanish. As a teacher, I really like the book and most students are happy with it because they find easy and common vocabulary. It forms part of the Aula Internacional series which will allow you to learn Spanish in a more structured way. On top of the exercises and the grammar sections in each lesson, at the end of the book you’ll find a ‘ More exercises’ and ‘More grammar’ sections. As the name suggests, those sections provide you with extra practice and deeper grammar explanations and verb charts. Unlike other textbooks, Aula Internacional 1 only has a paper version which will allow you to take notes and answer your exercises in your own book. Additionally, this version of the book will include the CD for practicing your listening skills. Additionally, they like the fact the program is very well organized and for those who want to pursue a DELE certification, this Spanish textbook is the place to start. ConclusionCompared to other books, Aula Internacional 2 follows a very organized structure and sequence. Additionally, it presents you with different types of situations where you need to apply your Spanish knowledge. The reading and cultural sections contain advanced words and structures. In fact, this section is not very useful in daily-life situations. As I mentioned before, this book is meant to provide upper beginners (students that can keep simple conversations in present tense) with the necessary information and tools to become Spanish intermediate speakers. When it comes to the grammar, the explanations are sweet and short and they provide you with tables and examples. Additionally, you can find further information on the ‘more grammar’ section. Since the book is meant to be used in a classroom, a teacher could provide a more in-depth explanation. Additionally, you can reinforce your knowledge with the exercises presented in the book and the online resources. Something to keep in mind is that the book is written in Spanish which can be quite challenging if you don’t know anything about this language.
