Spanish Sentences Vol.1: Spanish to English - Paperback

by Robert P. Stockwell (Author), J. Donald Bowen (Author), Ismael Silva-Fuenzalida (Author)

SPANISH SENTENCES Vol.1: Spanish to English THIS EDITION: The dual-language text has been arranged into sentences for quick and easy cross-referencing. The text can be used on its own. However, the content is ideal for reinforcing grammar, and as a precursor to more advanced bilingual editions. Once a student has studied the basics, a suitable book about basic grammar can be helpful. The suggestion is that any grammar book be studied more with the intent of recognition and understanding, rather than memorising and obsessive rote learning. Go through as much of the grammar book you feel you can digest - maybe even the whole book - skipping over what is not easily understood. Then, read through a portion of text in this book, looking for examples of what you have picked up (or gleaned) in your hopefully not so arduous study of grammar. Even repeatedly seeing a word that you remember seeing listed as a 'subject pronoun' or a 'third person plural' verb of some sort is a great help. Then, depending on your inclination, return to the grammar book (or your basic Spanish book), or move on to lengthier bilingual text - like in 2Language Books texts, for example -, or find some suitable Spanish text: a simple novel, a Spanish news website, etc. (A Dual-Language Book Project) 2Language Books
