After over two decades of helping people learn to speak Spanish and French, we now offer a title that gives Spanish speakers the opportunity to master English. Like all our courses, Breaking the English Barrier follows our proven language curriculum and brings learning to life through Apple's iBook Textbooks. In addition to the clear grammar explanations, relevant vocabulary, and thorough audio exercises, Breaking the English Barrier gives learners a virtual tour of the English-speaking world through interactive cultural articles and videos.
