He who does not know foreign languages does not know anything about his own. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe The Ultimate Spanish Review and Practice, Premium Third Edition, is a uniquely comprehensive, integrated, and engaging review book, with a bonus supplementary app, that will provide learners with the solid knowledge needed to increase their confidence in using Spanish to express their own thoughts, to comprehend those of Spanish speakers from all over the Spanish-speaking world, and to communicate in both speaking and writing in a wide variety of situations.
