EntreCulturas builds students' language proficiency through the lens of interculturality, real-world communication, and literacy. Students learn ways to appropriately interact with a variety of people and to examine different perspectives by being exposed to the lives of peers across the Spanish-speaking world.
EntreCulturas 1-3 each include a strategically-aligned comprehensible input Companion Reader that supports the textbook's essential questions, language structures, vocabulary, and much more. And through our partnership with Nualang, learners can experience enhanced listening and speaking practice with the Companion Reader characters. Try it for yourself!

La lengua de las mariposas
The enriching reader, La lengua de las mariposas, helps you use complementary cinematic and literary sources to teach your students about the Spanish language and culture.

Filled with annotations, vocabulary lists, and essay and conversational questions, La lengua de las mariposas engages your students in making connections and comparisons across cultures and artistic genres. Students will explore cultural themes to enhance their understanding of the film and stories while engaging with modern, accessible material.

Conversemos juntos
Conversemos juntos supports peer-to-peer communication by enabling your students to work with each other – speaking, listening, and eventually thinking in Spanish without hesitation. Built on the principle that one learns to speak Spanish by speaking, Conversemos juntos employs a variety of activities to emphasize oral communication in a carefully supported manner.
Choose the downpour outside, the weekend, or the upcoming holiday; every student wants to share his or her thoughts and experiences about the 50+ conversation topics selected!
Novice learners may require more supervision and will rely heavily on the book for vocabulary and grammar, while more advanced students can use the questions presented as a departure point for personal observations or further inquiry.
