Editorial Reviews

"This new edition of the excellent Pasaporte al mundo hispano will be very welcome to students and teachers. Its lively and wide-ranging selection of up-to-date authentic texts prepares students thoroughly for the experience and the linguistic challenges of their period of residence abroad and builds on their language-learning experience. It meets the considerable challenge of being representative of the whole mundo hispano' with common sense and great success. Students will be stimulated by the theme-and-place led organisation of grammatical and lexical issues: the book is a very fine complement both to grammar-based and topic-based coursebooks in circulation, none of which quite do what Pasaporte has managed to do - to link language, cultures, and student experience in a single 'world'." - Chris Perriam (Professor of Hispanic Studies), Noelia Alcarazo and Susana Lorenzo (Senior Language Tutors), Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies, University of Manchester, UK.
