All four skills - reading, writing, speaking,listenting- are stressed throughout the text. The language explanations are clear and simple, and special attention is given to critical areas such as spelling, correct use of accents, vocabulary that builds on expressions used at home and in informal situations, and false cognates due to English interference.
