Legends Series: Leyendas latinoamericanas (Spanish Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I finished college intermediate Spanish last spring. I am going to start upper level Spanish courses in the fall. I tell you this so you can gauge my level of profieciency.This is a nice reader. The legends are not as dark as some of the short stories in other readers. They also help form a base to begin to understand the Latin American culture.There are questions at the end of each story. They are sufficient to test ones comprehension.I am reading this book to keep up my Spanish during my summer break. Yet it is also enjoyable.

Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns And Prepositions Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book and the other Practice-Makes-Perfect workbook by Dorothy Richmond ("Spanish Verb Tenses") are the best Spanish books I've ever used. I just got back from 2 years in the Peace Corps in Honduras and I studied these books every day. They REALLY helped me learn more Spanish! In addition to the concise, easy-to-understand instruction sections, there's tons of exercises to do (with the correct answers in the back of the book) and as I did the exercises, I picked up all kinds of things that I'd been wondering how to say. I also liked this workbook a lot because it covered all those difficult things I never understood before, like how to use "lo que..", direct and indirect object pronouns, the passive voice, the difference between "para" and "por", and many other things. (This book is especially great if you already know some Spanish because you need some vocabulary to do the exercises, unless you don't mind looking up lots of words in the dictionary.) I highly recommend this book!

Leyendas Mexicanas (Spanish Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Leyendas Mexícanas" is a collection of eighteen Mexican legends. Each story is a delight to read. The legends reflect events from approximately 1,500 years of the country's history and folklore of Mexico. The tales introduce an array of memorable characters (from animals, gods, goddesses, ancient rulers and warriors) of the Mexican Republic.They are truly authenthic legends. One of my favorite is "El León y El Grillo." I love the way the little crickett outsmarts the lion. And "Atzima, la Princesa" it a legend of true love. Readers will learn how these characters resolved the dilemas that confronted them: some with great chourage, and others with remarkable ingenuity. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the rich cultural heritage of Mexico like I do.
