This exciting new film-based introductory Spanish program seamlessly integrates the feature-length film Sol y viento into the instructional and learning experience. Created specifically for beginning language learners, the movie was filmed on location in Chile, Mexico, and the United States. It tells the story of a Chilean family and their winery, and of a young U.S. Latino businessman who finds himself intricately involved with the family as his company tries to buy their land. Mystery, romance, and the unexplainable forces of nature all play a part of this spellbinding story as it unfolds. . . The Sol y viento textbook and accompanying ancillaries have been developed in conjunction with this exciting movie. Language is presented within the context of the movie, and linguistic skills are developed through engaging, meaningful activities that encourage students to develop real-world skills and abilities. Instructors and students are likely to find Sol y viento to be a breath of fresh air: a highly motivating introductory Spanish program designed especially for today�s learners! .

Summary: Very Good Soap, a real TV production!!
Comment: I teach Spanish in Edinburgh, I have masters in media and I want to congratulate people who were working on that soap. First, Cast is brilliant, I know them because they have been on many soaps in Chile (I'm from Argentina in case) I don't agree with bad reviews, I'd advise this soap maybe better in classroom and not self-study cause many things (even there is a guide) you could miss contexts. About speed, look I'm using with intermediate and it's great. Other review said it's slow, great you might be master-advanced in Spanish, have a look at film "Nine Queens" (Nueve Reinas) to test how fast you are catching a true speed of spoken Spanish!
I highly recommend this soap Sol y Viento but maybe linked to a proper Spanish course, so Sol y Viento as part of ways to learn the language!!

Summary: Boring, long, not much Spanish on it.
Comment: This series is awful. The soap opera is extremely slow-paced, boring, and cheasy. There are very, VERY long musical interludes and a LOT of talking in English. In one of the first episodes, they spent about 3 minutes talking in English about looking at the expressions on the characters faces to figure out what's going on. Uh, isn't the idea of learning Spanish supposed to be that you can understand SPANISH, not basic human interaction? This is just one example of the overuse of English. It's boring, it's long, and there isn't much Spanish on it. A huge waste of money. It teaches you little and takes so long to do it. And what little it does say is very difficult to understand - you just get the broad strokes from the exaggerated acting, but you're not really LEARNING anything. If you're a teacher, try just finding free Spanish video clips online ([...]) and take a few expressions and explain them. If you're an independent learner, dear god, don't put yourself through this childish video.

Summary: What a concept!
Comment: Genius move combining a soap opera with a textbook. The book is easy to follow, hits relevent topics to learn Spanish and for travelling in Spanish-speaking countries. This book lasts for 4 semesters and it makes me want to take all 4 just to see the end of the drama. I'm amazed that I can speak full sentences on relevent topics after a one night a week class for 7 weeks now. Bravo!
