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.
