Enjoy.

Textbooks
Beginning Spanish and Spanish I: Exprésete Level 1 (Red).
French: Discovering French Bleu: Stay tuned for word about the ON-LINE textbook.  I'm waiting for the license!

You can download the entire Spanish  textbook using the link provided below.  This is in PDF format, so you will need to make sure you have ADOBE reader on your computer first.  Most people already have this, but if not, you can go to Adobe.com and download it for free.  Once you have the file open, just save it to your computer. Note: it takes several minutes for the file to load. Please be patient.  If you have Internet Explorer and it is not working well, try another Browser.  I downloaded Firefox and had better success accessing the Textbook file (though it was still slow).

Grading Scale
90-100: A
80-89:   B
70-79:   C
60-69:   D
