Okay, I've joined the new mailing list. While I don't necessarily like Yahoo Group groups I'm a member of several and haven't had any problems lately with...
... I was thinking of using the 6th edition, which is what I have. That is almost certainly what is available from the "other sellers" on amazon in the $20...
Hmm... Just looking through Spanish Now! first level. Is it just me, or does it seem a bit slow? They don't introduce the preterite tense until page 291. We...
My vote is for Dicho y Hecho. I've used it in the past, an excellent text - a mainstay of college courses for many years now. But mine is the 3rd edition. :-(...

Hi, John and all, The Amazon link didn't work quite right. I copied the whole thing again. If it still doesn't work, search for "2001 Spanish and English ...
John, thanks for your ideas. Teaching idioms is an interesting idea. I recall that Dicho y Hecho teaches quite a few idioms as the book itself goes along; but...
I don't believe we have yet. I will weigh in with my opinion, since I was the one who first mentioned "Spanish Now." My recommendation of "Spanish Now" was...
Ok, I don't see any clear winner or loser here. I am going to propose that we use Dicho y Hecho, 6th edition on the basis that (a) I think it covers grammar...
... Okay, I'm having one of those "Well, duh!!!" moments. That's a feature of Amazon.com I've used many times but for some reason while looking at the various...
