Many words in Spanish are nearly the same as their English counterparts,
except for the word ending. This unique book identifies the 24 most
common word-ending patterns between these languages and provides over
4,000 words that follow them. For example, many English words that end
in "-ance" (distance, importance, etc.) correspond to "-ancia" in
Spanish (distancia, importancia, etc.). Similarly, English words
ending in "-ary" (necessary, ordinary, etc.) correspond to"-ario" in
Spanish (necessario, ordinario, etc.). Using this system for
learning, students can add thousands of new Spanish words to their
vocabulary.
Perfect as a classroom supplement or for self-study, Instant Spanish
Vocabulary Builder 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 Spanish speaker.
