This informal text, accompanied by more than 400 cartoon-style illustrations, is designed to teach the basics of practical conversational Spanish to all family members, with special focus on instructing younger children. The book recounts a typical day in children's lives, starting as they wake up in the morning and concluding at their bedtime. The illustrations on every page reinforce vocabulary retention and clarify word meanings. Boys and girls pick up new words, phrases, and language skills as they follow a day's events, starting in their bedrooms (toys, clothing, numbers) and moving through the house (names of family members, rooms, furniture). In the kitchen they learn Spanish words for appliances and food. Once outside, they walk along the street and pick up words for workers, cars, trucks, buses, and more. At school they learn Spanish words for objects in the playground and inside the classroom. Back home again and ready for dinner, they learn more Spanish words until bedtime. This new second edition includes expanded vocabulary.

Spanish Every Day (Barron's Foreign Language Guides)

Updated with new material, the third edition of Household Spanish presents an informal, user-friendly course for non-Spanish speakers who need to learn fundamental Spanish words and expressions in order to communicate effectively with Hispanic employees in the workplace or in the home. This edition continues keeping up with current social trends by taking into account the increasing frequency in which Anglos and Spanish-speakers converse, not only as employers and employees, but also as co-workers. Instead of teaching Spanish by emphasizing dry rules of grammar, author William Harvey presents dialogues that rely on frequently used words and phrases to teach informal, idiomatic conversational Spanish. Passages in the book recreate typical scenes that are likely to occur in the household or workplace.

This book, with its three audio compact discs, was designed to help English-speaking police officers, court officers, public safety workers, parole officers, and other law-related personnel who work among Hispanics but who have little or no command of spoken Spanish. It will also prove helpful to firefighters, and social workers whose duties take them into Spanish-speaking communities. Rather than concentrating on rules of grammar and memorization of verb forms and other such details, the author concentrates on useful vocabulary and phrases for making oneself understood in Spanish, and for understanding others when dealing with accidents and accident reports, crime investigations, public gatherings, court and legal procedures, and other aspects of law enforcement and public safety. Both the book and its optional compact disc present dialogues that simulate such scenes. The CDs (which replace cassette tapes that were available with the first edition) also offer help in pronunciation and listening comprehension to non-Spanish speakers.
