EL
POLÍTICO HONESTO
THE
RETURN OF “EL POLÍTICO HONESTO"
By
popular demand, EL POLÍTICO HONESTO has again
resurfaced
to usher in the new millennium. Since 1980, this
political
spoof has become one of the most widely-used
intermediate-level
multimedia tools for reviewing those thorny
areas that cause students of Spanish difficulty
semester
after semester. With its interactive format and
humorous
eternal themes, this award winning classic has
enabled
students to easily learn the differences between
SER
& ESTAR, POR & PARA, PRETERIT & IMPERFECT as
well
as OBJECT PRONOUN placement and, of course, the
forming
of SUBJUNCTIVE clauses.
