Simply Spanish for English Speakers Part IChapter 1: An Introduction to Spanish for Practical Use The objective of this title is to make learning Spanish both fun and easy. Learning Spanish opens a gateway to greater success in American organizations and business life, as well as in school, in community, with friends, and during travel to Spanish speaking countries. Do not press yourself to learn too much too quickly. The best way to learn is to begin with the Spanish alphabet and basic numbers, both of which are more similar to English than French or Italian. Then work with a core group of words and phrases that you can use in everyday life with customers, clients, vendors, suppliers, service providers, and friends.
If you work in a service organization, bank, school, or business that caters to Spanish speaking people, make it a point to try out your Spanish with them. Spanish-speakers are always pleased to have others try to communicate with them in their native language. For example, one of our students greets his Spanish-speaking American Banker by saying, Jose, listen to my latest phrase. How did I do? Now thats fun! Another suggestion is to try to communicate with any Spanish workers you are associated with such as a teacher, gardener, or supplier. Use the same kind of approach as we outlined before; ask them to suggest a phrase they would find useful, practice, and the next time you see them, use it. The great part about learning Spanish in the United States is so many people use it; so you can practice on a regular basismaking it fun and easy for everyone! Chapter 2: Helpful Tips while Reading Along Throughout this title, we have alphabetized within our Chapters and sections as much as possible.
We have also put the sections in sequence as much as possible so February appears logically after January. This should help you to find the word that you want. Chapter 3: A Place to Start: the Alphabet and Numbers The Spanish alphabet consists of the same 26 letters as the English alphabet, with 3 slight variations. This makes the two alphabets look very similar. There is none of the complicated punctuation either! Whew! The three different letters in the Spanish alphabet are ch, II, and rr. Think of these as building upon the English alphabet with 3 more letters.
Numbers 1-10 in Spanish are fairly intuitive and easy to learn. As the numbers get higher they are not quite as easy to remember, but dont worry, we will lead you through this process with ease. Additionally, many months and days of the week are similar to their English counterparts. As the world grows smaller, words become International and spread across all languages. As such, new words such as Google, iPOD, passport, radio, and television become understandable in most languages. This is especially true in Spanish and English where the languages frequently overlap.
Core words and phrases are listed throughout Part I and II of the title. They are easy to learn, remember, and put into practice. Now, with these things in mind, lets get started! Think about how this will be a great way to learn a new language to communicate with friends and professional associates. You will also feel comfortable traveling or visiting Spanish countries or neighborhoods in the United States. Have fun!
