Description
Are you a Spanish speaker seeking to learn English on your own? This acclaimed program teaches English lessons using the support of the Spanish language. The program presents a series of casual conversations by speakers of American English. Amusing cartoon-style illustrations set the buoyant mood. The 10 units in Level 1 cover the alphabet, numbers, and essential first words for asking questions, telling time, describing the weather and people, going shopping, and playing sports. The appendix features quick-reference lists for common expressions, irregular verbs, and key vocabulary. Level 2 picks up where Level 1 leaves off, assuming some basic working knowledge of English and offering informal, challenging exercises to improve vocabulary, speaking ability, and listening comprehension. The accompanying Audio CDs or tapes supplement material in the book and present language learners with the sounds of informal American English as it is spoken in everyday situations. (Level 2 only has the tapes option.)
