¡Con brío!, Second Edition celebrates the rich diversity of the Spanish-speaking world. This 12-chapter Introductory Spanish program, designed to address the needs and life circumstances of a broad audience, takes a highly practical approach that focuses on useful vocabulary presented through each chapter’s unique visual escenas, functional grammar of high-frequency usage, situational and contextual activities, and cultural selections relevant to everyday life and everyday interactions.

Con el presente diccionario se pretende ofrecer tanto al español curioso como al estudiante extranjero una pequeña obra de consulta; si al hojear por curiosidad este libro se ofreciera ocasión para sonreír o para reflexionar sobre la psicología humana o la idiosincrasia de los españoles y sus peculiaridades culturales, esto no resultaría totalmente ajeno a la intención de los autores

Offers eighty thousand entries highlighting Latin American Spanish, tables of regular and irregular verbs, and sections on numbers and common abbreviations

With culturally thematic chapters and a traditionally organized grammar sequence, this is a solid and complete introductory course. It is ideal for instructors who want a balanced, contemporary course but not necessarily an innovative methodology. Although chapter changes in the new edition include an overall shortening, a trimming of grammar detail, and adding more visually-based activities, the basic methodology remains unchanged.
