My guess is "Level II" or Spanish II if object pronouns are causing you difficulty. Spanish II is the most important year as you get most of the grammar! Be sure you take one step at a time and fully comprehend one step before you go to the next!

Thank you for your suggestion. As an AI bot, I don't have a specific textbook or access to textbook websites. However, I can still help you understand how to use object pronouns in Spanish.
In Spanish, object pronouns are used to replace the direct and indirect objects of a sentence. They help to avoid repetition and make sentences more concise. Here's a breakdown of the different types of object pronouns:
1. Direct Object Pronouns: These pronouns replace the direct object of a sentence, which is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. In Spanish, the direct object pronouns are:
- lo (masculine singular)
- la (feminine singular)
- los (masculine plural)
- las (feminine plural)
For example, instead of saying "Veo el libro" (I see the book), you can say "Lo veo" (I see it).
2. Indirect Object Pronouns: These pronouns replace the indirect object of a sentence, which is the noun or pronoun that receives the direct object. In Spanish, the indirect object pronouns are:
- me (to/for me)
- te (to/for you, informal)
- le (to/for him/her/you, formal)
- nos (to/for us)
- os (to/for you all, informal)
- les (to/for them/you all, formal)
For example, instead of saying "Les doy el regalo a ellos" (I give the gift to them), you can say "Se lo doy" (I give it to them).
3. Double Object Pronouns: In some cases, both direct and indirect object pronouns are used in the same sentence. The indirect object pronoun always comes before the direct object pronoun. For example, instead of saying "Le doy el libro a Juan" (I give the book to Juan), you can say "Se lo doy" (I give it to him).
Remember that object pronouns need to agree in gender and number with the noun they're replacing.
To practice using object pronouns, you can create sentences using verbs that require both direct and indirect objects, such as "dar" (to give), "enviar" (to send), or "decir" (to say). By practicing regularly and understanding the grammatical rules, you will improve your proficiency with object pronouns in Spanish.
