Preface

The concept of this book began to take shape in late 1996 period when I was still in Germany. First it was created as a manuscript and was edited to teach Spanish to German university students in the city of Giessen. Cause of the good reception of the manuscript, and the practical experience I had when I taught classes with it, I decided to turn it into a book. Thank the Internet technology has made possible to distribute and to promote it. Today, it is good tool which the students help to learn Spanish as foreign language in only a few lessons.

As you know, lot of people in the American continent is spoken Spanish. If you learn Spanish as al foreign language you can travel and you can know de Latin-Americans and de Spaniard cultures and their way of life.

So many tourists visit Spain too, if you can speak the language you can well communicate to the Spaniard in the easily way. You don’t need to do great sacrifice to go a language school and learn complicate phrase and grammar and waste most of your time.

With this book you will learn Spanish quickly, easily and conveniently. In this book we put priority emphasis on grammar; the structure allows you to learn in a logical and gradual way. The book try to teach you the rules and shortcuts, so that learn Spanish is not so difficult, boring and frustrating.

The book teaches you how to construct sentences with simple words and easy to remember and to use for any situation. But if you have stopped talking Spanish for a while too, and you do not remember how sentences are constructed, in this case you will only need to look at this book and you will remember how and why you use certain phrases. The method is like a mathematical equation.

Anyway, it is indispensable to have a teacher to learn the language faster. However, if you have experience in other languages, the book will be very useful to enhance and improve your second or third language

Remember, you learn a new language only with perseverance and lot of practice. The more languages you know, the better your personal satisfaction and have certain privileges that others do not, because you expand your horizons in many ways, your friends and people from other cultures see you with admiration and this will make you feel proud of your achievements and, at the same time, this would bring to have higher self-esteem, and you will grow professionally.

1. Introduction

Learning foreign languages has become a necessity. Learn a new language, gives people more job prospects, higher status in the society, which also increase interpersonal skills. Bilingual or trilingual people acquire knowledge and you can exchange experiences with people of other cultures. To interact and share experiences we open ourselves to receive and give knowledge, thereby increasing the possibility of solving more complex problems in the effectively way.

The online contacts between people across the Internet become closer and enrich relationships. In order to know about other culture habits and that speaks a different language, we first should communicate independently. The target this book is that tourists and students can communicate with nationals citizen in free way, without needing to hire a translator. But there are other reasons why you should learn languages, for example, today the universities provide their students exchanges of pre-and post grades in abroad. In the near future, new generations will be forced to learn one or more languages

That is why I have edited this book through which students can learn Spanish without no much effort. This manual emphasizes the grammatical structure, pronunciation, reading, text comprehension; on the book are used texts, exercises, dialogues, diagrams, drawings, tables and photos. The lessons of this book are structured so that it starts with simple basics and ending with the most complex Spanish’ lesson.

The concept of online learning is required to use this book, a online teacher is useful too, teachers will help you for solving the exercises and improve you pronunciation.
