I like this resource a lot... The accompanying grammar exercises are very useful and provide a spring board for students to think deeply about the intricacies of the Spanish language... A fantastic resource worth investing in.

S Darnell, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

Excellent... Plenty of focused translation practice.

S Coppell, HoD and Customer

Brilliant... Thank you for creating this resource!

A Diaz, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

Very useful... Enough translations to use almost one a week!

B Francis, HoD, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

[Notes section] allows students to write down their ideas in an organised way, rather than scribbling notes around the margins... Good training in developing the technique of thorough and accurate translation.

G Clegg, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

A useful resource... I liked the length of the texts and the fact that they mirrored Edexcel's topics at AS and A2.
