Book Description
This is the second book in the series, and it's as much fun to read as the first book. The series, Veracruz Spanish Memories Bilingual Reader Series, has grown out of my thirteen-year experience as owner and director of a Spanish immersion school far south in Mexico.If I were looking at learning Spanish only academically, I'd have to say that there are many excellent bilingual readers. But I look at learning Spanish as a human process (with a strong academic component), and I say that yes, they are good, but they aren't human enough, happy or touching or interesting or heartwarming enough.This series takes blogs from our language school's website, blogs written about little things that were fun, or sweet, or sometimes bittersweet that show the warmth and kindness and culture of the people of Veracruz. I've prepared the blogs in true Spanish (not textbook Spanish). The humor and subtlety of the blogs is captured in the Spanish. The translations are not word for word, but instead are idea for idea. You get to see how to really say it in Spanish instead of just talking in English using Spanish words.I've included lots of footnotes. You'll find wonderful new vocabulary and new meaning for words you already know. I want everything to be as clear as can be. I want learning to be as easy as can be.While you're enjoying fun reading in Spanish and checking it against the English, you'll begin seeing the fullness and expressiveness of the language. Almost immediately this fullness and expressiveness will start being part of your written and spoken Spanish.
