Spanish Around the House Book #2


Book Description

Please note that this is the 2nd book in the series. The first book is recommended before beginning this one. Are you looking for the ✔ BEST, ✔ EASIEST, and ✔ QUICKEST way for you or your child to learn Spanish? Then, the Spoken Spanish at Home book series (for Native English Speakers) is for you! This series is what I created for my own family to practice Spanish. We are too busy for formal classes, so we have to fit in language learning wherever we can! SUMMARY Book #2 (this book): Learn the vocabulary for furniture and appliances in the home. Book #1 (previous book): Learn the vocabulary for rooms in a house. FROM THE LANGUAGE CURRICULUM EXPERT Learning Spanish since 2005, teaching since 2010, graduating with a B.A. and 2 M.A.s, I love to study. However, I spent a lot of time on things that I never ended up needing. Then, when my husband wanted to improve his English, we tried many different courses. But none of them worked. They were filled with: Too much boring grammar Vocabulary that he would never use No interaction or practice WE KNOW OTHER BILINGUAL FAMILIES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM There had to be a better way! A way for him to learn quickly, effectively, and to stay motivated by seeing a ton of progress along the way. And as a bilingual family, as well as expats, prioritizing the vocabulary that we see, use, and touch everyday, was my number one goal. Therefore, I set out to create materials that are Easy enough for any beginner student to understand Teach the most common and valuable concepts FIRST Encourage speaking practice Can be read together as a family HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BOOK With the read-aloud strategy that you will experience in this book, students will see: Easy to understand grammar structures. Vocabulary words with bright pictures. A book that can be read as a family, regardless of age. Visuals that help younger learners easily participate (before they can read). Faster speaking results than traditional grammar-based programs. An increase in overall comprehension as they pick-up everyday words. HOW IS A BOOK INTERACTIVE? Not just a picture book, Learn English Around the House Book 1 for Native Spanish Speakers, makes beginner students (children, teens, and adults!) use the information right away. ① Vocabulary is replaced by pictures through the book. ② Students have to orally say the vocabulary as they read aloud. It sounds much easier than it is! They are not just repeating words from the paper. Instead, they have to recall the correct English vocabulary word as they read. This strategy is meant to help students retain the information quicker, and for a longer period of time. When students have to stop and think, (or flip back to the vocabulary page), it sends a message to their brains. The brain understands that trying to find this word means that it must be important. And the brain holds on to important information. AN ENTIRE SERIES OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE BOOKS FOCUSED ON THE HOME Once you finish this book, make sure you read the next one. You will have repetition of common vocabulary. It will introduce more grammar to build on your current knowledge. Each book has a new skill to help you progress. You will see immediate results and progress.




A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish


Book Description

(abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.
