I am working through Spanish with Ease; I have
copies of Using Spanish and Streetwise Spanish, the book and CD. If anyone is familiar with these books, where do you think SS fits in with the Assimil books? During SwE, between SeE and US, after both Assimil books? My wife, whose Spanish is ahead of mine, finds SS hysterical. You should hear some of the ways she says good morning :) SS has a layout that has some similarities to Assimil. It looks to me like it would nicely complement Assimil. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I think you're right that Streetwise complements Assimil. You want a solid command of the "standard" language first; slang is riskier if you're not sure what you're doing. Once you have a good command of SwE, Streetwise is a good follow-up -- fun and accessible. Using Spanish partly overlaps with Streetwise, but has a more academic flavor; it has good content, but would take more work to get it.
For the spoken language, Learning Spanish Like Crazy, level II, has some bonus slang lessons which cover similar slang in audio form. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
