Description

Learn 4,000 new words in English!

Spanish speakers learning English will find that words in English are nearly the same as their Spanish counterparts, except for the word ending. This unique book identifies the 23 most common word-ending patterns between these languages and provides almost 4,000 words that follow them. For example, many Spanish words that end in "-ancia" (distancia, importancia, etc.) correspond to English words that end in "-ance" (distance, importance, etc.). Similarly, Spanish words ending in "-ario" (necesario, ordinario, etc.) correspond to English words that end in "-ary" (necessary, ordinary, etc.). Using this system for learning, students can add thousands of new English words to their vocabulary.

Perfect as a classroom supplement or for self-study for ESL students and other Spanish speakers who are learning English, it is appropriate for all ages and levels of experience. The accompanying audio (available for free download) allows students to master pronunciation of the most common words and phrases from each chapter by repeating them after a native English speaker.

Los hispanohablantes que aprenden ingls vern que muchas palabras en ingls son casi iguales que sus palabras homlogas en espaol, excepto por el final de la palabra. Este libro identifica los 23 patrones ms comunes de finales de palabras entre estos idiomas y provee casi 4.000 palabras que siguen estos patrones. Por ejemplo, muchas palabras en espaol que terminan en "-ancia" (distancia, importancia, etctera) se corresponden con palabras en ingls que terminan en "-ance" (distance, importance, etctera). De manera similar, palabras en espaol que terminan en "-ario" (necesario, ordinario, etctera) se corresponden con palabras en ingls que terminan en "-ary" (necessary, ordinary, etctera). Los estudiantes que usen este sistema para aprender podrn aadir a su vocabulario miles de nuevas palabras en ingls. Pensado para estudiantes de ingls como un segundo idioma (ESL) o para otros hispanohablantes que estn aprendiendo ingls, este libro es ideal como suplemento o como una herramienta para estudiar a solas, y es apropiado para todas las edades y cualquier nivel de experiencia. En el audio complementario (que puede ser descargado gratuitamente), las palabras y las frases ms comunes de cada captulo son pronunciadas por un angloparlante. Los estudiantes pueden practicar a repetir estas palabras y frases despus del audio para de esa manera perfeccionar su pronunciacin.
