Pasos 1: Speaking and Listening: Spanish Beginner's Course

Pasos 1: Speaking and Listening: Spanish Beginner's Course by Rosa Maria Martin and Martyn Ellis

2 audio CDs and 2 booklets containing the audio transcripts.

Summary

A brand new speaking and listening component from the best-selling Pasos range. This pack contains a wide variety of activities on 2 CDs to cater for different needs, accompanied by short exercises and transcripts in two booklets. Speaking activities are practised intensely and pronunciation samples include regional Spanish and a range of South American accents.

Audio extracts of varying speed and difficulty have been deliberately chosen so that learners are exposed to genuine spoken Spanish from the outset and will gradually cease to feel intimidated by it. A unique feature is the use of authentic unscripted recordings at normal spoken speed in addition to slower studio recordings, allowing learners to develop confidence in their ability to understand and speak the language.

Pasos Spanish Speaking and Listening is invaluable for use in evening classes, as additional material for homework tasks or as a self-study supplement to the Pasos 1 Student Book.
