This book is written entirely in Spanish to support a communicative approach to learning, using audiovisual material to explain concepts without translating. The activities are designed to develop all four basic language skills: speaking, writing, listening, and reading.

Each unit features cultural content related to a Spanish speaking country.

The contents are organized according to the standards of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), and the Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE).
