This text presents a series of dialogues for Spanish-language learners wanting to improve their conversation skills. It avoids slang and focuses on the informal Spanish used in most Spanish-speaking countries, showing how native speakers really talk. The book consists of 21 short units. Each unit opens with a short conversation revolving around a central topic and phrases and vocabulary related to the subject. The dialogues are followed by a comprehension check, a vocabulary quiz and grammar reviews or hints on usage. Each unit also features a fill-in-the-blank exercise involving a conversation between Pili and far-from-fluent Tom, correcting mistakes commonly made by beginners. The back of the book includes a vocabulary glossary, an answer key and English translations of the dialogues.
