A good English textbook for a Colombian learner?
At the beginning of this year, I was making good progress with giving my Colombian friend English lessons by webcam. But then her company laid her off and she lost the Internet at home.
Soon, her cousin with whom I go to school is going to Colombia to visit. I want to send the cousin with a good English textbook for her. So can someone recommend me a good Level 1 (because she’s probably forgotten most of what she learned by now) English textbook for Spanish-speakers that:
Shows how English words are pronounced in the International Phonetic Alphabet
has CDs for listening
And has an interesting variety among the chapters?
Thank you so much for your help.

I forgot to mention that I was wondering if there would be a grammar textbook with these features so that she could learn about pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary all at once.
Hi, a very good book (if not the best) in pronunciation is this:
The American Accent Guide: A Complete and Comprehensive Course on the Pronunciation and Speaking Style of American English for Individuals of All Language Backgrounds
By M.S. Beverly A. Lujan (Speech-Language Pathologist)
Lingual Arts
Salt Lake City, Utah
http://www.amazon.com/American-Complete-Comprehensive-Pronunciation-Individuals/dp/0963413902
It is a very good book because explains step-by-step how to produce all the sounds of English and important aspects like rhythm and intonation.This course has 8 CDs
So, if you want to send her a good book, this is your best option
