Idlewild Español: Conversational Spanish (with clickable audio‪)‬

This interactive e-book from one of New York City’s top language schools will teach you Spanish in the quickest and easiest way possible—with pictures and audio.


There are no separate audio files or apps to download. Simply click on the images to hear the captions and dialogue spoken by native speakers and repeat what you hear. The emphasis on conversational Spanish will teach you to speak and understand the language as it is actually spoken, and you’ll pick up grammar and vocabulary naturally without even realizing it.


This immersive textbook is ideal for self study or the classroom, for beginner to intermediate students, and includes:

• More than 1400 illustrated scenarios accompanied by text and clickable audio in colloquial Spanish;

• Over 200 essential Spanish verbs, with illustrated examples and simple tables covering 11 tenses and moods;

• Special thematic sections on 20 topics including food, family, work and travel; and

• 100 grammar and usage notes that explain the concepts demonstrated in each section.
