Review:

"I will continue to use DÍMELO TÚ because I really feel that the other textbooks don't pay attention to the differences amongst countries in a significant way and DÍMELO TÚ is very comprehensive. I never feel that my beginner students will become culturally incompetent intermediate learners."

"We like the particular way that the package implements a 'communicative approach'. Specifically, we like the students studying the grammar on their own (the colored pages) and then coming to class prepared to put the theory into real-life practice, particularly in small-group activities."

"DIMELO TU is an organized and interactive program; especially important is the fact that you [as the instructor] are the facilitator."

"I liked the organization and sequence of materials presented. I enjoyed very much the different exercises and how these were linked. The exercises were contextualized so I never felt lost as I went through the review of the text materials. I also enjoyed how dynamic the exercises were. Another aspect of the textbook that I considered an asset is the opportunity the text gives the instructor and the students to interact with realia from the web inside and outside the classroom."

"Integration of culture through various means (Noticiero cultural section, Youtube research, iTunes references). This is great!"
