Learn 300 Spanish Words in 3 Minutes
A Spanish vocabulary word book that is organized in a new way. A 1000 word vocabulary is all you need to be functional in a language. the first chapter (and the gimmick) is a list of all the words in Spanish that are spelled the exact same way in English (mosquito, idea, general, etc) with their Spanish pronunciation and a sample sentence. The second chapter contains all the words that only change a letter or two in their Spanish equivalent (momento/moment, problema/problem, posible/possible, etc), their pronunciation, and a sample sentence. The following chapters are more traditional word groupings and mnemonic devices to learn the remaining words. The key idea is to make the idea of learning vocabulary less daunting… i.e. “See how much you already know!”
Stickymmersion Chapter- The best way to learn a language is through immersion. This chapter groups nouns together by location in a house or office (kitchen, bedroom, supply closet, etc) and ask the reader to copy each one on a sticky note and stick it to the thing(door, night table, paperclips, etc). This works on several levels, the act of writing down words helps commit them to memory, posting them in conspicuous places ensures that you will interact with them regularly, and externalizing your learning helps bring others like family and friends into the process to encourage and assist you.
