Spanish Reader for Beginners-Elementary 1 Iris Acevedo a

Spanish Reader for Beginners-Elementary takes basic Spanish Grammar Structures and places them in scenarios where these structures are easy to understand.

Although this book is fully translated from Spanish to English, we encourage students to understand the nuances and uses of certain Grammatical Structures, as well as verbs, found throughout each and every paragraph, by providing examples and short exercises that trigger intuitive learning.

However, because this is a Basic Spanish Reader, I have provided literal Spanish to English translation of all paragraphs in order for the reader to comprehend sentence structure in Spanish thus acquiring greater understanding regarding the way we speak Spanish in Latin America; particulary, in Central America.

In the beginning, as you start out learning Spanish as a Foreign Language, the various uses of the verbs Ser and Estar may seem quite challenging; nevertheless, through the unique teaching style of CostaRica SpanishOnline Language School, the learner is able to comprehend these structures in a way that he or she feels it is their own ability to learn a Foreign Language that is performing the task.

We highly suggest, at the beginner level of course, starting out with the series of three books; Spanish Reader for Beginners-Elementary, previous to purchasing Spanish Reader for Beginners, the first book of the series; Spanish Reader for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Students.

I hope you find these short paragraphs, examples and exercises as helpful as they are intended to be.
