Spanish with ease

If you think learning a foreign language must necessarily rhyme with tiresome work, Spanish with Ease is here to show you a different way. With just thirty minutes of relaxed study each day, you can acquire Spanish in the same way that you learned your own language: by natural assimilation. The Assimil method consists of two phases: The passive phase (the first few weeks) during which you simply read and take in the dialogue and explanations; The active phase, which occurs halfway through the book, when you begin to generate your own sentences and to communicate spontaneously in a variety of everyday situations.
After just two months' study, you'll already begin to feel at ease. And in about five months' time, working from a solid base, you'll be ready to hold conversations in real-life contexts using vocabulary that is practical, authentic and contemporary. This edition of our highly successful course has been entirely revised and updated to reflect changes in Spanish language and society over the past decade.
