School Library Journal Print

Children can enjoy language learning with this book and enhanced CD. Basic vocabulary and pronunciation are delivered in a fun musical format. Vocabulary skills, idioms, and pronunciation are the central focus; rules on grammar are lightly stressed. The text presents the information in a clear, readable, and easy to follow style with some illustrations to help reinforce the lessons. Exercises are direct and fun. The upbeat rhythms and simple lyrics in the ten pop songs strengthen grammar concepts. Among the songs are "La Bamba," "La Cucaracha," "Guantanamera," and "La Adelita." The enhanced CD for PCs contains grammar assistance as well as vocabulary building games, interactive quizzes, and karaoke fun. The audio CD lends itself to group listening, but the text and CD-rom are best for individual learning.
