Anyone have one?... http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/011603.html Book Wanted -- comment #1 from Tom Whitmore comment from Tom Whitmore on 2.Sep.09 What's the date on the fourth edition? There are copies on ABE of the workbook starting under $10 for 1999 and 2002 editions. And the title appears to be Conexiones, not Oonexiones. Makes the search easier if one knows that.

In Spanish, there is ¿Qué Gusto?, where the student learns Spanish by writing restaurant reviews, and there is Dos Mundos, where the student learns Spanish through writing travel-between-parallel-worlds SF.

And there is, of course, Oonexiones, wherein the student learns Spanish by providing free fertility counseling. Or possibly by working at an egg farm. I'm not quite sure.

Macdonald comment from James D. Macdonald on 2.Sep.09 Fixing the title (yes, it's Conexiones) and the date of the 4th edition is 2009.

New, of course . . . not going to be many secondhand ones available this soon. Not that going secondhand is a particularly safe option, for a workbook&CD combo -- too many of the used workbooks available have answers written in, or pages missing, and most of them don't have the accompanying CD.

It's pretty good for textbooks.

Don't forget VISTAS, the fad for teaching people Spanish by making them work tech support for Microsoft.

(I had to use that textbook. It's actually not bad, if unintentionally funny in all the usual ways, plus one of their Example Actors being American and sometimes having a very good Madrid accent, but sometimes sounding like an American).
