Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide a step-by-step complete and detailed description of the rules that govern both the stress--oral emphasis placed on certain syllables in speech-- and the written accent marks-- graphic marks written on certain vowels-- in Spanish. The explanations are presented in English and accompanied by multiple examples in Spanish. When appropriate, differences between Spanish and English are presented. Each section is followed by exercises for practice. The last section of the book contains a list of the Spanish words used in the examples and exercises throughout the book. The book is intended for Spanish learners at the intermediate level of proficiency and above who wish to master the use of accents in writing, and for Spanish instructors who present this aspect of the language in their classes. Readers who want to delve deeper into the issues will find additional details and subtleties in the boxes named "For More."

This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this course, I've put together the common mistakes that Spanish speakers often make while speaking American English. I've supplied explanations on how to avoid these errors, and provided sentence drills to help adapt new speech habits. Speakers of Latin languages will find this concise program a constant revelation, and will quickly improve their American Accent. The lessons constantly review and incorporate all previously introduced concepts. In the hour it takes to go through this program, the accent of the foreign speaker is significantly reduced. "Accent Reduction for Spanish Speakers" focuses on the exact needs of the Spanish speaker, rapidly leading to clearer speech. This program is also extremely helpful for speakers of Portuguese and Italian. These lessons are supported and demonstrated by a series of YouTube videos, allowing the reader to follow along with the online program, internalizing both the theory and practical applications of the sound changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don’t let the authentic Cuban recipes fool you: This is no cozy mystery. Set in Havana during the Black Spring of 2003, a charming but poison-laced culinary mystery reveals the darker side of the modern Revolution. Matt, a San Diego journalist, arrives in Havana to marry his girlfriend, Yarmila, a 24-year-old Cuban woman whom he first met through her food blog. But Yarmi isn’t there to meet him at the airport, and when he hitches a ride to her apartment, he finds her lying dead in the bathtub. With Yarmi’s murder, lovelorn Matt is immediately embroiled in a Cuban adventure he didn’t bargain for. The police and secret service have him down as their main suspect, and in an effort to clear his name, he must embark on his own investigation into what really happened. The more Matt learns about his erstwhile fiancée, though, the more he realizes he had no idea who she was at all—but did anyone?
Download or read book Por Qu 101 Questions About Spanish written by Judy Hochberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Por qué? 101 Questions about Spanish is for anyone who wants to understand how Spanish really works. Standard textbooks and grammars describe the "what" of Spanish - its vocabulary, grammar, spelling, and pronunciation - but ¿Por qué? explains the "why". Judy Hochberg draws on linguistic principles, Hispanic culture, and language history to answer questions such as: Why are so many Spanish verbs irregular? - Why does Spanish have different ways to say "you"? - Why is h silent? - Why doesn't Spanish use apostrophes? - Why does Castilian Spanish have the th sound? Packed with information, guidance, and links to further research, ¿Por qué? is an accessible study guide that is suitable for Spanish students, instructors, native speakers, and the general reader. It is a valuable supplementary text for serious students of Spanish at all levels, from beginning to advanced. ¿Por qué? also covers topics usually left to specialized books, including the evolution of Spanish, how children and adults learn Spanish, and the status of languages that co-exist with Spanish, from Catalan to Spanish sign language to the indigenous languages of Latin America.

Download or read book A Complete Guide to Written Accent Marks in Spanish written by Tom Mathews, Ph.D. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the best explanation available for accent marks in Spanish; it falls elegantly between a brief introduction and an exhaustive compendium. My webpage on the use of accent marks in Spanish has for years been at or near the top of any "Google" search on the topic and I'm pleased that my explanation has been of use to teachers and students. Recently, I have received several requests for a version in print and I have sensed a need for some limited practice exercises. There are a number of short lessons on accent marks on the internet and most every Spanish textbook has a few pages on the topic at the end of an early chapter, but by and large none of these include enough detail or examples to make expert users of students. At the opposite extreme, the most recent Ortografia de la lengua espanola (2010) published by the Real Academia devotes a full 87 pages of small print to the subject. The goal in this volume is to be thorough but not overwhelming or pedantic. I aim to provide an explanation that is appropriate for students of Spanish with limited background in linguistics and to provide exercises of progressive difficulty (with answers) so that these same students can become adept, if not expert, at using accent marks in their writing.
