Overall, Aula Internacional 3 and Aula Internacional 4 are very complete Spanish textbooks for intermediate learners. Thanks to their contents you’ll be able to learn new grammar and vocabulary and put them into practice in different situations. Both books have a small Castilian Spanish influence. As I mentioned before, this Spanish textbook is not for absolute beginners. It’s perfect for learners that know simple vocabulary and can keep basic conversations in the present tense. So if you already have these foundations, but don’t know the Spanish past tenses this book is for you. Innovative Features: Discover phonetics capsules, alternative audio options, digital activities, varied textual resources, and mapped texts, all designed to enrich your learning experience.

In other words, you’ll be reviewing more advanced applications of the present tense, reflexive verbs, and expressions of time. As for your new topics, you’ll be in touch with different tenses of the subjunctive tense, indirect speech, passive structures, and imperative mode.The exercises cover all the skills you need to be fluent in Spanish: listening, writing, reading and speaking. As I mentioned before, this book is meant to provide upper beginners (students that can keep simple conversations in present tense) with the necessary information and tools to become Spanish intermediate speakers.

Some lessons require you to do some activities with videos; however, you have to buy some of this material separately. The last reading section is more about culture and it’s not very helpful since they use very formal language. Aula Internacional 2 follows the Instituto Cervantes program. This means that the book contains standard Spanish. However, in some instances you may find a small influence of Castilian Spanish. As you may imagine, this will be more notorious in the listening activities if you’re specifically trying to learn Latin American Spanish.The reading and cultural sections contain advanced words and structures. In fact, this section is not very useful in daily-life situations. Despite this, the book does a very good job with the vocabulary: everything you learn can be applied in all Spanish-speaking countries.

Don’t get me wrong, these books are a very good tool but you have to be prepared to do some research and find ways to practice on your own. Aula Internacional books are perfect for those people who want to learn Spanish in a more structured way and that at some point want to get a certificate. I’m going to be honest: after a while, some students find this structure very repetitive. But, speaking as a teacher, I find that Aula Internacional 3 and Aula Internacional 4 contain a lot of exercises to improve your grammar, listening, writing, reading and speaking skills. Although it takes up where you just left, there are other books that could offer more value for these topics.

If you have the paper version and want to have access to some suggested videos, you’ll need to buy this material. Aula Internacional 1 is a Spanish textbook for absolute beginners. Although it can be used for self-studying, this book works perfectly in classrooms or small learning groups since it has a lot of speaking exercises.

There’s no doubt that Aula Internacional 2 reaches its goal of providing you with the tools to complete the Spanish beginner level.
