Excellent! We are educating a generation that has grown up with a graphic vision, and this book will certainly appeal to them. The comic strip is especially good, and will inspire conversation.

I find the material is fresh and dynamic. I think each lesson does a good job of weaving the content throughout all its sections, and it presents visual and literary art in various forms.

REVISTA has certain novel features that will attract student interest, such as the "cortometraje". The graphics are very eye-catching and interesting—clearly, one of the strengths of this program.”

I love the text, the selection of articles, the WONDERFUL short films, the topics, and the presentation of all the material. I consider REVISTA an excellent manual to be used in all advanced conversation courses.

REVISTA es el mejor libro que he visto para la enseñanza del español. Hasta ahora no he visto ni un sólo estereotipo, como dicen tanto en este país, sobre indígenas, familias hispanas, mujeres y marianismo, y tantas otras cuestiones que al cabo de los años nos resultan vomitivas a los que enseñamos español. Por todo ello, por su alcance de miras, por la elegancia y modernidad del texto, les felicito muy mucho. Las lecturas y tiras cómicas han sido de un gran interés para todos y los videos son muy buenos todos, así como las actividades que los acompañan.

The activities in REVISTA engage students intellectually on hot topics they want to talk about like no other textbook I have used!

I really like the films in REVISTA because they are real cortmetrajes made for a native audience. I think we all benefit, linguistically and culturally, from viewing them in class. Composición is one of the strongest parts of the text - the topics are interesting, creative, and useful for class. I am happy with the program and I like the variety of activities.

I really enjoyed the shorts, and I found them to be a wonderful didactic tool. I found the grammar activities useful and appropriate and I thought the readings were wonderful. They were varied and interesting.
