It offers clear, concise, and well-organized grammar explanations, examples of everyday conversational usage, realia, cultural information, Spanish language and writing conventions, thematic vocabulary, and oral activities. This workbook is organized into 28 grammar chapters and seven culture chapters. The culture chapters address the language, geography, history, and literature of the Spanish-speaking world. This hefty workbook is 8½” × 11” and approximately 700 pages. Repaso is an excellent resource for AP preparation! Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Good-if you don't need answers! This book is a workbook designed for use by AP Spanish high schoolers, though I am using it for a non-credit adult class. On the plus side: - The discussion and exercises are well matched. On the minus side: - There are some typos, e.g. the present tense forms of one verb are listed where the preterit forms should be. - The answer book is available only from the publisher, and will be shipped only to a school address. ** This is a major negative for adult students ** Rating: - Buy this 2004 edition, not the 2001 edition! This is an excellent review book for Spanish language learners. Be aware that there is an earlier edition which you should most definitely NOT buy: Repaso: A Complete Review Workbook for Grammar, Communication, and Culture (2001), and that the publisher has included no answer key in either edition but has published them separately and made it very difficult to match them up. Moreover, the 2001 answer key is completely out of print and impossible to find anywhere on the web. Trust me, I've tried! The answer key the goes with this 2004 edition of the book is Repaso A Review Workbook for Grammar, Communication, and Culture ANSWER KEY with ISBN number 0078607086 and can be found readily. Rating: - Large and unwieldy ! The explanations and the practice exercises are VERY good. Frustrating to use because it does not contain the correct answers for the practice exercises. This book is TOO FAT. It could be packaged as a set of slimmer volumes by topic, so that the student and/or the teacher could handle it more easily.
