    About this ebook

    A new way to improve your Spanish skills

     

    This is the second book in the series. Like book #1, it contains a series of general knowledge quizzes and is 100% bilingual, Spanish-English. Each question is in Spanish, followed by the same question in English, so you can check your understanding immediately. By clicking again you get the answer, in Spanish first then in English. So, unlike most Spanish textbooks, you have access to authentic Spanish language and direct English translations at every step.

     

    The idea is straightforward: to help you master Spanish through extensive reading. It's a fun way to practice your Spanish language skills, and it's also very useful for those taking Spanish SATs or other Spanish exams. As you begin to work through the tests you'll be surprised how quickly your confidence in Spanish grows!

     

    Simply click through the questions at your own pace, trying to understand as much as you can. The texts are fully bilingual so you will always be able to understand them, and this dual-language format will help you to improve your Spanish reading comprehension and deepen your knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. Sentence-by-sentence parallel translations are like having a personal Spanish teacher sitting next to you!

     

    Reading in a foreign language is difficult and takes a lot of time. This Spanish reader is intended to help. Whenever you have a few minutes free, click through as much material as you want, practicing and building your knowledge of Spanish in an entertaining and convenient way. These quizzes will help you to develop better Spanish comprehension and to grow your vocabulary quickly, while helping you to improve your Spanish grammar.

     

    This is a dual-language book with everything in Spanish AND English, so the texts are useful to readers of different levels of ability in Spanish. Think of it as a relaxed form of Spanish immersion. Whether you're a relative beginner or an advanced learner, don't worry if you can't understand every word or phrase immediately; translations are always available on the next page to help you understand Spanish phrases and vocabulary as you go.

     

    LEARN SPANISH WITH GENERAL KNOWLEDGE QUIZZES is a fun resource for self-study. Whether you're learning Spanish for business, travel, high school and college exams, or taking Spanish PSAT / NMSQT tests, Spanish SATs or ACTs, it's an effective way to practice Spanish. For anyone who has already acquired a working knowledge of the language this book can help them improve.

    ***

    The translations in this book are as literal as possible while sticking to standard, everyday language. For that reason, the English phrases do not always reflect the Spanish texts word-for-word. Use them as a guide to comprehension.

      Introduction

      What? This ebook is a 100% bilingual. It is in the form of a series of general knowledge quizzes, with each question in Spanish then in English (plus the answers!). If you are learning Spanish, it’s an entertaining way to practice your language skills.

      Simply ‘click’ through each question at your own pace, trying to understand as much as you can. Because the text is fully bilingual (Spanish-English), you will always have the help you need to improve and consolidate your knowledge of Spanish grammar and vocabulary. It’s like having a personal Spanish teacher at your side as you read!

      Why? Because people have busy lives, and developing your reading skills in a second language is difficult and time-consuming. Clic-books are about little and often. Whenever you have a few minutes free, practice your Spanish in a relaxed and convenient way, building your knowledge of grammar and vocabulary quickly and effectively using fully bilingual texts.

      How? Clic-books present you with very short examples of Spanish language, normally one or two sentences at a time. By clicking to the next page you see the same text, in English. As you work through the questions watch how quickly your French reading skills improve!

      ***

So, the English phrases do not always reflect the Spanish texts word-for-word. Use them as a guide to comprehension, not as an exact parallel of the original Spanish.
