*     Culture is core: Culture is seamlessly integrated into the program. Students are consistently exposed to cultural topics in both the student edition and Workbook/Laboratory Manual. As one might expect, recurring features (Expresiones artísticas, Notas culturales, Notas interdisciplinarias, Lectura cultural, Conexiones culturales) offer richly diverse cultural exploration.

*     Language in action: Vocabulary in Experience Spanish is presented visually through colorful, engaging illustrations, and put into action with personal and communicative activities. Grammar points are introduced through contextualized short dialogues or cultural readings that illustrate the concepts in action, allowing students to experience the structures in context before focusing on the forms and rules. 

*     Practice Spanish: Experience Spanish is also available with an interactive 3-D game, Practice Spanish: Study Abroad, that immerses students in a virtual study abroad experience in Colombia. Practice Spanish, accessible on laptops and mobile devices, allows students to practice real world language in a game environment that integrates culture, grammar, and vocabulary. 

*     Experience Spanish everywhere: Connect Spanish, McGraw-Hill's digital teaching and learning environment, is mobile and enabled for tablets, allowing students to engage in their course material via the devices they use every day. The eBook, available in Connect, is also mobile-enabled through the ReadAnywhere app.
