BJU
Press Spanish 3, 1st Edition develops grammar concepts, vocabulary, speaking and
listening skills over 12 chapters with 3 lessons each. There are no audio
files to accompany the course. Contents are varied with letters to read,
tips, cultural facts, Scripture and stories from missionaries in
Spanish-speaking countries.
Verb tenses reviewed
or introduced include the present, stem-changing, imperfect, present
perfect, preterite, future, conditional, past perfect, future perfect,
conditional perfect, formal/familiar imperatives, and subjunctive moods in both
present and past tenses.
The Student
Edition is formatted like a reader. I would suggest a student use a
separate notebook to write in. Comprehension questions follow the reading, but
there are no blanks to fill in and these are different from questions in the Activities
Book. Color photos & charts add variety. There is very little English
used. The book is smaller format (7.5” x9”) with a soft cover. 234 pages
The Activities
Manual is a consumable student workbook. Exercises include fill in the
blank, translate vocabulary words, complete crossword puzzles, listen to
dictations and answer questions. Includes 124 pages.
The Teacher’s
Edition shows reduced student pages. Answers to the student reader are
found in the margins along with simple guidance in presenting the lessons. It
is a large book with a spiral format. An appendix in the back shows
translations to the text, hymns and maps.
The Homeschool
Kit includes the Student Edition, Teacher’s Edition, Activities Manual,
Activities Manual Teacher’s Edition, Tests, and the Tests Answer Key.
