¡En Marcha! is the only intensive course in Spanish for beginners. Systematic and comprehensive, it takes the student from beginner to solid intermediate level in one year. Carefully graded exercises and expert grammatical explanations are combined with lively activities and an attractive presentation to develop rapidly the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. The material is organised in 8 units. Each unit has a theme around which the language content is developed and provides a variety of activities to practise what is being learnt, with clear instructions guiding the student and regular summaries of key points. The units also provide sections for self-study, which consolidate material learnt in class, as well as a full key to the exercises. The books contains a set of worksheets related to 15 role-plays, which allow students to deal in an effective manner with everyday situations such as buying food, clothes, going to a restaurant and seeing a doctor.
