Proven Features
Praised by professors and students across the country for its engaging content and innovative approach to language instruction, Dos mundos: En breve continues to be one of the best-selling beginning Spanish language textbooks available today.
Dos mundos: En breve is successful because it teaches students how to communicate in Spanish, not just how to construct language and conjugate verbs. Chapters are built around topics for conversation, not around grammatical structures.
Given its brevity, this text is ideal for programs with reduced contact hours or for intensive courses.
Readings in the form of authentic texts, literary passages, realia, and cultural notes provide additional language input to students while simultaneously helping develop reading skills. Annotations for instructors offer suggestions for pre-reading activities as well as other tips for effective reading.
The grammar explanations and practice exercises are presented at the end of each chapter, in special “blue pages”. This modular organization allows instructors to start either with the communicative activities or with the grammar, depending on their preference.
