This brand-new Spanish vocabulary-learning book for children, ages seven through twelve, focuses on the use of verbs as it follows boys and girls through a typical day at home, at school, and at play. Taking an informal, child-friendly approach, author William Harvey places verbs in the context of activities and dialogue, in this way minimizing the use of tense endings lists, and other dreary facts kids would need to memorize. Children learn the use of action words--or verbs--easily and naturally as they live through a day's events, waking up in the morning, having breakfast, walking along a busy street, going to school, enjoying games in the playground, returning home for dinner, and ending their day at bedtime. This title can be used alone to teach Spanish verb usage, or it can serve as a complement to a companion title, Spanish Every Day, which teaches vocabulary by focusing mainly on Spanish nouns. Cartoon-style illustrations throughout.

Updated, and with audio compact discs to replace the old audiocassette tapes, this language-learning book-and-audio program is an informal, user-friendly Spanish course. It is specifically designed for non-Spanish speakers who need to learn fundamental words and expressions in Spanish in order to communicate with Latino employees in the household or workplace. This new edition keeps up with current social trends, taking into account the increasing frequency in which Anglos and Spanish-speakers converse not only as employers and employees, but also as co-workers. Rather than emphasize dry rules of grammar, author William Harvey teaches informal, idiomatic conversational Spanish. Both the book and the compact discs recreate typical scenes in household or workplace with appropriate dialogue passages. The compact discs, which may be used independently of the book, can also be purchased as a separate item.
