Begonia Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I've googled So You Really Want to Learn Spanish and found that Amazon sells the books; actually, it sells new and used copies of Book I and mostly used copies of Book 2. Is there an American source for the CD that goes along with Book 2? Or does it have to be ordered from Galore Press in the U.K.? Is the CD necessary? My dd, aged 13, has used En Espanol by McDougal Littel, along with the workbook, interactive CD, and online quizzes for Spanish I. It's been a reasonably good choice, but I like the fact that SYRWTLS seems to have a stronger focus on grammar. Dd will be studying Latin throughout high school, but she would like to continue with her Spanish studies at her own pace (I can't help her with Latin, but I'm fairly fluent in Spanish). Thank you for pointing us to these new materials. The SYRWTLS books look really good! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Not Patricia but: horriblebooks.com buys Galore Park materials in batches at a discount and with cheap shipping. They sometimes keep extra materials on hand too. bookdepository.co.uk ships from the UK with free shipping. Best wishes Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begonia Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Laura, thank you! I'm very grateful. This is just the information I was hoping to hear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Here is SYRWTL Spanish for sale right here on the boards! Don't know if she still has it but I thought I would post it here. http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5294 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begonia Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thank you for posting this link. Unfortunately, it won't work for us because it's a Spanish I set and I'm looking for Spanish II. Hopefully, if it hasn't already been claimed, it will help some other family. Best regards.

Hillary in KS Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Based on the response from my similar post last week, I ordered directly from Book Depository in the UK. The order process went very smoothly, and the order has already shipped. I'm hoping it'll arrive this week. I'm more comfortable ordering from someplace in the US, but Horrible books didn't have what I wanted and wouldn't be ordering for another month or so. Several people commented on the excellent service from Book Depository, so I purchased there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begonia Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'll certainly keep that in mind. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary in KS Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Begonia, I must let you know that I ordered my materials from Book Depository in the UK on Feb. 5th. They arrived in the mail on Feb. 14th - 7 business days later. VERY speedy service. I have no complaints here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begonia Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hillary, it's very sweet of you to let me know-- thank you! I've ordered the Spanish I book through AbeBooks in the U.S. so that I can compare it to the Spanish curriculum we're using this year. If it looks good, I plan to purchase the entire Galore Park Spanish II set (through BookDepository now that I know that they're so fast! :) ). By the way, my AbeBooks order is taking longer than your order from the U.K. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
