It is never enough to emphasize the importance of the Audio CD for any foreign language program. No language can be learned without listening to its sounds, the inflexions of the voice and the way a native speaker blends these words together.

Therefore, the Audio CD is an inseparable part of this method.

Tracks 1 to 7 accompany the text: its pronunciation exercises, its dialogues and its songs. Tracks 8 to 13 accompany the Grammar and Exercise Manual, and are the auditory part for exercises called "Para escuchar y escribir" (To listen and write), "Para escuchar y elegir", (To listen and choose), Para escuchar y emparejar (To listen and match) and other similar techniques designed to develop the understanding of the oral language.

First, students are encourage to listen several times and try to finish the exercises on their on, and to check their answers afterwards with the Answer Key. If their input is not correct, the second step will be to listen again to the same lesson, this time following the correct script. Research and experience have proved that this is the best way to develop "an ear" for the language.

The third step should be to repeat after the speaker, so that the learner starts acquiring oral fluency.

Students, children as well as adults, should not neglect this important element of their learning!
