Editor's Notes

February 28, 2019:

When learning a new language it's important to furnish yourself with an array of teaching resources, and a textbook is a critical part of that. Not everyone learns in the same way or has the same goals, though, so we arranged a list with comprehensive selections (such as Living Language Complete Edition) and primers for beginners who are heading abroad or who need a simple grounding in the subject (See It & Say It and Dover Guides Easy). Further to that logic, we also included the first versions in a series of programs meant to guide you to fluency, such as Easy Spanish Step-By-Step and Short Stories Volume One. Living Language Complete Edition gained the number one spot because it incorporates reading, writing, and audio, is a great value for money, and takes students from beginner to advanced.

Born in Arizona, Gia is a writer and autodidact who fled the heat of the desert for California, where she enjoys drinking beer, overanalyzing the minutiae of life, and channeling Rick Steves. After arriving in Los Angeles a decade ago, she quickly nabbed a copywriting job at a major clothing company and derived years of editing and proofreading experience from her tenure there, all while sharpening her skills further with myriad freelance projects. In her spare time, she teaches herself French and Italian, has earned an ESL teaching certificate, traveled extensively throughout Europe and the United States, and unashamedly devours television shows and books. The result of these pursuits is expertise in fashion, travel, beauty, literature, textbooks, and pop culture, in addition to whatever obsession consumes her next.
