Created specifically for adult, self-paced learners in a non-credit program, Spanish On Your Own presents the essentials of Spanish grammar and vocabulary in two worktext-style volumes. Each text offers a thorough introduction to the language through interesting dialogues, grammar, vocabulary, and skill-building practice.

To encourage early speaking, an introductory chapter presents useful, basic expressions such as greetings and everyday dialogue. Lessons 1 through 10 offer concise explanations and drills of individual Spanish sounds, breath groups, and linking, providing a solid foundation in pronunciation. Coordinated audio recordings accompany each lesson, providing practice in listening, speaking, pronunciation, and grammar.
