Average Rating: 
Rating: - Nice Read!
I originally purchased Piensa as a supplement reading material for my husband who is taking Spanish. It seems to be a little difficult to find reading materials in Spanish for adults, and this magazine is really fun to read.

Rating:  - Helpful, but could use more variety
Good additional tool alongside a textbook and other more formal methods, but lacks a little variety in the range of speakers. Only two voices are regularly heard, which limits improvement in comprehension. Other voices and accents would be very helpful.
Rating: - Only for very advanced study. Very poor learning tool.
I bought this subscription, together with the CD, thinking it would give me the same sort of exercise as a dual language book (where everything is translated - ideally as close to word by word as feasible) ... and the audio would reinforce pronunciation and auditory comprehension. I figured I was ready; I had worked my way through a number of CD Spanish courses and I even had some reasonable success in communicating in simple Spanish with my hispanic employees and on a trip to South America.
