    4 out of 5 stars 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!

    5 out of 5 stars great book. Very didactic   October 20, 2008
    This book gives a nice grammatical background. It proposes a lot of exercises. And it gradually increases the level.
