Quick Navigation

Overview

¡Hola, amigos!, Fourth Canadian Edition, gives students the building blocks to communicate in Spanish and introduces the diverse cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. Drawing on feedback from Spanish instructors across Canada, the fourth Canadian edition’s exercises and foundational material promote the active, practical use of Spanish for communication, gradually increasing the difficulty of the application and, through it, students’ self-confidence. Through a wide variety of active learning activities for groups and individuals, ¡Hola, amigos! helps students express themselves effectively and motivates them to continue studying Spanish.
