What our users say

“GENTE JOVEN NUEVA EDICIÓN is a method that is always motivating my students. The contents, perfectly sequenced by level, are supported by drawings and photographs, videos, songs, and a comic. Furthermore, it opens the doors to many Spanish-speaking communities, giving them a voice. Since it is designed according to the task-based approach, I have easily adapted the final tasks to the interests of my students.”

Lisi Barros-Sehringer, ELE Princeton
