I often use Ana Lomba's products in my Spanish classes to supplement the conversational curriculum I develop week by week.
This book is great - the students listen at home to the CD, and then read it in groups in class. We discuss the new words they learned, and for older students, we talk about the difference between preterite and imperfect tense verbs (high school).
For an introduction to Spanish, this may be a little overwhelming - but it never hurts to hear the target language in one more format! After a few lessons on the words that will be used, this is an excellent book. The only thing I noticed is that the Spanish translation is more "Spain-y" than Mexican, which is fine - all regionalisms are great, but for my own students, being in Texas, they noticed the difference between the way we speak around here versus this book. Honestly, a TEENY little con. All in all, a great supplement to any curriculum, any age!
