Spanish Learning Objects
for
those using Dos Mundos (6th edition)
"Spanish Learning Objects" is designed to give students a degree of
learning independance while attending UTM Spanish courses from 111 to
222. Our resources are linked to provide alternative presentations for

Other resources extending beyond the book and its ancillaries are
listed below by chapter: For grammar, they most often provide
explanation, examples and interactive exercises and correspond to the
numbered grammar sections in the book. For topics and vocabulary, they

learning through videos.

cuentos hispanos. Here is a list of the contents, with
links to related resources. In some cases nothing is available. Where
