I just purchased this book last night after hearing good things about Breaking the Spanish Barrier. The book looks great, but it looks like it was last updated in 2017 and some of the information it contains is no longer accurate (political leaders have changed since). **Please update** Otherwise, the book looks fantastic and after reviewing I ended up purchasing all three.

I’ve loved your digital books since I first discovered them three years ago. Now I love them more! The latest edition of the Spanish 1 book is phenomenal. The video introduction to each lesson by John Conner is a delightful way to begin each chapter and encourage students to work through it. The newest version of vocabulary flash cards couldn’t be better. I like how students can choose to see English, Spanish, a photo, and/or hear audio. All this and so much more for $14.99 - with free updates. I couldn’t be more impressed, and I can’t wait until my students see the new editions in the fall. Thank you, Breaking the Barrier, for a truly outstanding digital book!

Thorough coverage of fundamental topics with lots of helpful audio and visual aids. Great book for Spanish students!

This is a fantastic resource. I highly recommend!

Breaking the Spanish Barrier has really helped my Spanish. I hadn't studied it since I went to OSU, but this refreshed my memory and has helped me in the work place.

Simply outstanding! Easy to use and makes learning fun!

I expected to learn Spanish when I purchased this book and I’m pleased to say that I’m off to a great start! What I didn’t expect was the amazing images, beautiful layout, and outstanding audio features in the book.

Started as a total beginner that knew “Hola,” to someone that can speak after completing the series! Highlights: 1. Vocabulary: Each chapter has vocabulary flashcards that you can use to easily memorize the words related to the theme of the chapter. Know a word? click the green check mark. otherwise, you just toss it back in the pile and try again. 2. Grammar: Each chapter emphasizes a particular aspect of sentence structure. The start of the book begins with the present tense. Later chapters teach you the preterite (past tense) and the imperfect tense. 3. Cultural information: Each chapter focuses on a country from Latin America. There are beautiful pictures and information about prominent culture figures. A must purchase for $14.99!
