Written by a native English speaker who learned Spanish the hard way—by trying to talk to Spanish-speaking people—it offers English speakers who have a basic knowledge of Spanish hundreds of tips for using the language more fluently and colloquially, with fewer obvious “gringo” errors. Writing with humor, common sense, and a minimum of jargon, Joseph J. Keenan covers everything from pronunciation, verb usage, and common grammatical mistakes to the subtleties of addressing other people, “trickster” words that look alike in both languages, inadvertent obscenities, and intentional swearing. He guides readers through the set phrases and idiomatic expressions that pepper the native speaker’s conversation and provides a valuable introduction to the most widely used Spanish slang. With this book, both students in school and adult learners who never want to see another classroom can rapidly improve their speaking ability. Breaking Out of Beginner’s Spanish will be an essential aid in passing the supreme language test—communicating fluently with native speakers.

Spanish Language is the perfect guide for Beginners that allows you to learn Spanish while in your car or Working out with the purpose to reach a native-level fluency in no time. Through this audiobook, you will learn conversational Spanish for beginners through lessons that will help you develop your vocabulary and grammar, as well as simple phrases useful for travel in Spain, Mexico or Latin America! It's time to begin the adventure of learning Spanish through simple and quick lessons you can listen to in your car! Estas pronto? Here's what you'll learn from the Spanish For Beginners book: Chapter 1: Learning Strategies Chapter 2: The Fundamentals of Spanish Chapter 3: Numbers, Colors, Time, and Date Chapter 4: Nouns and Articles Chapter 5: Pronouns Chapter 6: Verbs Chapter 7: Adjectives Chapter 8: Prepositions, Adverbs, and Conjunctions Chapter 9: Forming sentences Chapter 10: The Subjunctive & Imperative Mood Chapter 11: Making comparisons Chapter 12: Conversational phrases And much more! Here's what you'll learn from the Spanish Short Stories: The Spanish language is rich, full of small differences between the different countries. Things that might be one way in Argentina might be different in Spain or Mexico. But don’t worry, with this book, you will have a firm grasp on the language, and you will be able to understand and have a conversation with any Spanish speaker. In this book, I will give you 20 short stories that will range from science fiction to romance, everything in between and sometimes even more. These stories will give you an entire picture of the Spanish language, and how to appreciate the subtlety of the language. After each story, there will be a questionnaire section where you will answer questions about the stories in Spanish. I really suggest to grab a blank page, and write down the answers, or the small assignments that you will be given (don’t worry, they won’t be long!). Remember to write them in Spanish, so you can practice and use the language. Also, in this section, you will find grammar and fun facts not just from the stories themselves, but from the inspirations behind them, and facts about living in a Spanish country. All these stories are written from my heart, and I deeply hope that you will find them funny, mysterious, romantic, or at least entertaining. Here's what you'll learn from the Spanish Language Lessons book: Traveling in Spanish countries can be hard. Believe me, I’m a frequent traveler, and I’ve been all around the world. I’ve been in Europe, Asia, and South America, and I have to say that of all the places that I’ve been, I’ve never found more caring and lovely people than in Spanish countries. Maybe it is their past, maybe is their language, but they are always available to give you a hand, talk to you, have fun, grab a drink, and generally have a good time. But the language barrier might be hard. You might find yourself trying to say something, and the interlocutor understanding another thing entirely. It might be quite frustrating, and then you end up using your fingers or pointing to what you want, and to be honest, it’s quite ridiculous and a bit childish. That’s why I’m writing this book, to help you on your travels, so if you want to take a trip to a Spanish Country, you won’t find it hard to express yourself. And I will not just explain you some phrases in Spanish to ease your life in your trip, I will also teach the differences between countries, and how to travel from one place to another. So, if you were planning a trip, or maybe you are already in one and found yourself in a problem, this is the book for you. I hope it helps you with anything that might arise on your trip. get your copy today

Book excerpt: "This grammar is a simple and well-graded book designed to meet the needs of the beginner in an elementary course comprising two to four terms. The amount of grammatical material it contains is limited to the essentials, stops short of the subjunctive, and is developed from a variety of connected readings by means of an amplitude of modern exercises. The book is the outgrowth of careful experimentation and prolonged classroom testing on the basis of representative syllabi. The twofold aim of the authors has been to present the simple principles of the language in an atmosphere that would arouse and hold the beginner's interest, and to leave with them at the end of the course a body of cultural information that will stand them in good stead even if the study of Spanish is no further pursued. This is in harmony with the modern trend toward what is called "socialization of content."Beginner's Spanish is planned for the study of reading, understanding, speaking and writing Spanish, with a strong stress on the reading objective."Keywords: Twofold Aim Careful Experimentation Subjunctive Socialization Stead Amplitude Syllabi Grammar Harmony Exercises Atmosphere

Learn Spanish Let's face it: the language market is changing. English has been the lingua franca for a while now, but it's not going to always be that way. It's projected that Chinese or Spanish might take over the English language as the lingua franca in the next century. So it makes sense that you're searching this book: Spanish is an in-demand language to know. By knowing Spanish, you're opening the door to communication with hundreds of millions of of more people than you could speak with before. This makes you a desirable asset to a great number of companies and makes you an all around more well-rounded person. I'm not certain why you picked this book up. It could be general curiosity about Spanish, you may be going on a trip and needing a crash course in Spanish before you do. Regardless of what your intent is, the key fact is that you're looking for the best possible way to learn Spanish while getting the best bang for your buck, too. This book is everything you're looking for. Learn Spanish with Stories Are you looking for a fantastic and in-depth way to learn a new language? Why not treat your brain and go about it the natural way? That's right, your brain has a natural way of learning language, and you simply aren't taking advantage of it. Our brains are hardwired to act on a complex system of concepts and context clues in order to figure out language. This is why most polyglots in the world will tell you that the absolute best way to learn a language is by simply immersing yourself in it. With this book, you'll be going through different short stories, all of which following the story of a girl named Maria and her kind family from El Salvador. Throughout the short stories, you'll be challenged and pushed to your limits - that's how you know the method is working. You'll never be left in the dust, but you will most certainly be immersed in the beautiful Spanish language. After every short story, there's an English version, in case you got totally lost, and a section with grammar tips and vocabulary to help you round out every short story with a proper lesson. Learn Languages Do you need to learn a language? This is the place to do it, no questions asked. This book uses a combination of orthodox immersion methods in order to make you go in one end a complete newbie to a language and come out the other a fluent speaker. It won't be any shortage of work on your part, but this book is going to set you up with all the tools that it possibly can so that you can be a fantastic speaker of a second language in as short of a time as a few months. Through encouragement, motivation, rational observation, and careful breaking down of key concepts into malleable bite-sized chunks, this book makes learning language easier than it's ever been before. What makes this book better than other language books which tell you how to do something similar? The fact that this is the same exact method I've used to study several languages. I know that anecdotal evidence doesn't mean much, but there's genuine merit to the methods contained in this book, and if you give it a chance, then you'll see for yourself that there's no method to language learning out there that is as effective as this one proves itself to be.
