Reviews

"This text follows a natural order, is engaging, pedagogically sound, and acknowledges the way students learn and apply increasingly complex grammatic structures. The exercises are clearly presented and challenge the students to apply the structures they have reviewed." Gustavo Arango, State University of New York, Oneonta
"I absolutely love this book! It can be used at the high school as well as at the college level. The incorporation of culture and art with the teaching of grammar in context make this a very useful and interesting book. The articles about different cities and linguistic features are fascinating." Patricia Smith, Tufts University
