¡Avance Intermediate Spanish Student Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this textbook in my intermediate Spanish class in college (SPI 201 & 202). I found the choice of vocabulary throughout the chapters to be strange, but I like the grammar explanations.
Here are the chapters in this book:
Preface: Bienvenidos
1. Tipos y estereotipos
2. La comunidad humana
3. Costrumbes y tradiciones
4. La familia
5. Geografia, demografia, tecnologia
6. El hombre y la mujer en el mundo actual
7. El mundo de los negocios
8. Creencias e ideologias
9. Los hispanos en los Estados Unidos
10. La vida moderna
11. La ley y la libertad individual
12. El trabajo y el ocio
My favorite part of the book were the sections on the subjunctive. I used them as a reference when I was writing my book. If you want to look up the sections on the subjunctive in this book, bookmark the following pages: 120, 166, 197, 224, & 241.
