Leyendas del mundo hispano is a completely digital reading experience intended for intermediate and advanced students of Spanish. It may be used with a grammar text or as a stand-alone text for Conversation and Composition classes. Although there is no explicit presentation of grammar, the authors reinforce both grammar and vocabulary through the telling of the legends and the variety of activities. The text can also be used to provide a richer context for Hispanic civilization courses, and Spanish Phonetics, through the use of the audio program.
