Learning
a foreign language requires extensive memorization.
However, rote memorization is not only boring, it’s
unpredictable. This
is because it’s hard to remember words and concepts that are
intangible. If we
develop a mental picture for the word we are trying to learn,
we will almost assuredly remember it.
Just as a child learns to see and associate tangible
objects with images, Lucas teaches us to “see” the Spanish
language. Words
such as a cat, dog, chair, or giraffe, all conger up images in
our minds because they are tangible.
If you are asked not to see a zebra, you
can’t help but see one. It’s automatic! In this same manner, Picture Perfect
Spanish makes the Spanish words tangible through the use
of zany pictures that tie the English and Spanish words
together and imprint them on your mind.
The first words taught are body parts.
That is how we learn as children. |
Once
some
basic words have been learned, it’s on to the verbs
necessary to make simple sentences. In total, the reader will learn more than 600 commonly used
Spanish words and phrases.
These words are required for basic communication.
Careful attention has been paid to ensure that the most
critical words are taught.
In addition, Picture Perfect Spanish covers
basic sentence structure, grammar, conjugation, and hundreds
of common phrases and sentences to prepare the reader to speak
clear, coherent Spanish.
This book is designed to teach you more than what is
typically covered in a full one year Spanish course.
Not only do the ingenious and often zany methods
applied by Lucas make learning Spanish fun and easy, but also,
faster than you ever thought possible. |
