Summary

Immerse yourself in the richness of the Spanish language and its cultures! With RUMBOS you'll make the exciting transition from a beginning to an advanced speaker of the Spanish language. Carefully crafted activities start you on your way. The text then leads you to higher levels of communicative competence with vocabulary development, grammar exercises, and engaging readings. Along the way you'll explore a new country or region in every chapter-and with the text's audio CDs you can even listen to realistic interactions.
