  • Conversational Spanish Quick and Easy: The Most Innovative and Revolutionary Technique to Learn the Spanish Language. For Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced Speakers

    Yatir Nitzany, Claudia R. Barrett

    Audible Audiobook (Yatir Nitzany, Dec. 6, 2015)
    Have you always wanted to learn how to speak Spanish but simply didn't have the time? Well, look no further. This is the most advanced and revolutionary method ever designed for quickly becoming conversational in a language. In creating this time-saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent nearly three years examining the 27 most common languages in the world and distilling from them the 350 words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These 350 words were chosen in such a way that they are structurally interrelated, and when combined they form sentences. Through various other discoveries about how real conservations work, which are detailed further in this book, Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words together in a specific way so that you may become fluent now. If your desire is to learn complicated grammatical rules or to speak Shakespearean Spanish, this book is not for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation while on a trip to a Spanish-speaking country, to impress that certain someone, or to be able to speak with your grandfather or grandmother as soon as possible, then the Nitzany method is what you have been looking for. This method is designed for fluency in a foreign language while communicating in the first-person present tense. Nitzany believes that what's most important is actually being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. More formalized training in grammar rules, etc., can all come later. The first in a series of instructional language guides, the Nitzany method's revolutionary approach is the only one in the world that uses its unique language technology to actually enable you to speak and understand native speakers in the shortest amount of time possible. No more depending on volumes of books of fundamental, beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels in order to learn a language. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

    Welcome to Easy Spanish - fun stories in Spanish for beginners. By listening to this book, you will not only extend your vocabulary, learn new phrases, and observe grammar in a natural way, but you will also learn fascinating cultural, geographical, and social facts about Spanish-speaking countries. For beginners, but still a challenge! While this is a text for learners of the language, you might still encounter words and grammatical structures that you might not be familiar with. Try to deduce the meaning from its context. In any case, a quick search on the Internet should reveal everything you might not have known so far. A structure that supports learning! The story in this book is separated into small chapters with approximately 1,000 words each. This way, you can listen to the book in small portions.

I strongly recommend to use this opportunity to check if you have understood everything. This is where deep learning takes place, because you will review the text, research words you are unsure of, and revisit any material you need to review.
