Editorial Review:

Based on the Natural Approach, Dos mundos stresses the use of engaging activities and interesting readings in a natural and spontaneous classroom atmosphere. In this comprehension-based approach to learning language, the development of communicative language skills is the central goal, with formal grammar presentation and grammar practice at the service of communication. The text is designed so that class time can be devoted to exposing students to Spanish through creative activities and readings, allowing grammar explanations and exercises to be studied outside the classroom.

Good deal:

I was very happy the book arrived in a very short time but the book is in worst condition than it said in the description. In the description it said that it was in good condition inside, but with slight damage in the outside. It turned out that inside it had some written stuff and wasn't in such good contidion.

Book in rougher shape tha advertised:

Listed as good; there was a lot of wear and damage to the spine, etc. But it was delivered on time, and still in so so shape.. OK

Awful!:

I have studied several languages...Turkish, French, Italian...and gone through several texts -- good and bad. This is, by far, the worst language text I have experienced.
The concept is interesting. Take bits and pieces of contemporary student life, construct vocabulary and grammatical packets based upon familiar concepts, have the student engage in them, and the address structure and depth later. In the beginning, it works. But it quickly falls apart.
It might have worked. It doesn't in this... more info

Confusing!:

This book is vastly confusing and does not make learning Spanish easy. Parts of it are in Spanish and parts are in English. Only some of the new vocabulary is explained, and it's often difficult to understand the point or question they are trying to make/ask. The glossary and index in the back are virtually useless. I would recommend using other avenues to learn this language, unless you are in a class in which the profesor goes through the book with you and explains it.
