SmartSpanish - Introduction to Spanish, Vol.1, Audio Cds - learn spanish like natives
This is Volume 1 of 2 volumes introducing the basic Spanish language to the total beginner. How did we choose the words that you should know first? We interviewed Spanish speaking natives and let them speak about the subject of their choice. We then selected a minute and a half of these spanish conversations and we isolated every word pronounced, classifying them into Basic, primary and secondary vocabulary. In the basic list we put all the words that appear systematically in every conversation. Table, pencil or airplane would be included in the primary vocabulary list but not in the basic vocabulary list where you will find words like, for, that, what, I, of, in, am, etc... We made an interesting discovery: 63% to 65% of all words used by people when they speak are basic words regardless of the theme of the conversation. After you work with these vol.1 and Vol.2, you will know up to 65% of every conversation you will happen to hear or be a part of. You will be ready to go further and work on real dialogs with our subsequent products. In this volume, you will work on the alphabet, numbers and verb conjugations. You will have a gentle and progressive approach to very common verbs and their most used tenses. You will practice with multiple examples, repeating and filling the blanks. You will be ready to proceed with Vol.2 to explore the basic vocabulary observed in very common conversations. If your intention is to learn a few sentences to get by when you are in a spanish speaking country, there is a better tool for you.
