Book excerpt: ¿Has estado estudiando inglés durante mucho tiempo pero te da la impresión de que todavía no entiendes con claridad a la gente inglesa? O, lo que es peor, ¿no consigues hacer que te entiendan? Se trata de un problema muy común entre los hispanohablantes que han invertido muchos años de su vida en clases de inglés, logrando alcanzar un excelente nivel de vocabulario y gramática, y todavía con grandes dificultades a la hora de comunicarse oralmente. La mayoría de esos problemas podrían resolverse si los hispanohablantes hubiesen prestado más atención al aspecto de la pronunciación, teniendo en cuenta que es el área en la que más difieren el inglés y el español. Este libro está pensado para ayudar a resolver esos problemas de comunicación en inglés, presentando las cuestiones más relevantes de la pronunciación inglesa y comparándolas con aquellas de la pronunciación española. No sólo abarca las vocales y las consonantes, si no también otros aspectos como el ritmo, la entonación, o la colocación del acento.

STUDENTS MASTER IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONAL GRAMMAR FIRST! This book builds a powerful foundation in the most common grammatical patterns so students can form sentences right away. The student can expect to master the use of is/are/would/can/want/go, etc. through literally hundreds of applications. From there new vocabulary is formed around these commonly used words so students gain skill in speaking. There is no memorization of long boring, scattered lists (such as kitchen words, sport words, hospital words, etc.) and dry, unconnected grammatical rules which leave a student frustrated and helpless when in an English conversational situation. Each lesson contains instructional prompts in bold print which you read to the student. These prompts are in basic Spanish and as the course progresses, they will be given more and more in English so the student becomes immersed in English. You simply read prompts, and the student answers you. If he's right, go on to the next line. If he's not, correct him so he says it correctly. It's as simple as that. If you can't read the basic Spanish prompt, don't worry. Just have the student read it while you cover up the answer on the right side. If the student says the answer correctly, move to the next line. If not, correct him. Then go to the next line. That's all there is to it. "How to Teach English to a Spanish Speaker" explains how to know when to advance your student to the next lesson as well as how to watch for common pronunciation errors common to Spanish speakers. Give your student a success in conversational English well beyond what he thought possible. Start using this book today!
