= Foreword = This first part of the wikibook Spanish by Choice (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Spanish_by_Choice) accompanies a set of SpanishPod audio lessons for beginners without prior knowledge of Spanish (“newbies”). These audio lessons are included in the online version of this wikibook in the Ogg Vorbis format. MP3 files are available at http://spanishpod.com

This print version of the wikibook includes transcripts of the lesson dialogues with translations, vocabulary lists, lists of grammatically related words, and translation exercises based on the dialogues. Apart from the audio lessons, the online version of this wikibook also offers additional links to related Wikipedia articles and an index of all lines of the lesson dialogues.

The lessons can be studied in any order; thus, readers are free to choose lessons according to their preferences. It is not necessary to study all lessons; however, it is very recommendable to review the lessons as often as possible. Also, it is necessary to have fun while studying these lessons. Seriously!
