By George Tullot

This book is truly "The World's Easiest Spanish Course!" You are welcome to search the entire world and find one that is easier. It is a very clear, fast, and simple course! Extremely "user friendly!" And fun too! Ever since I was a very small child in first grade and all the while growing up spending thousands upon thousands of hours in classrooms, I was always wondering in many of my lessons and books, "Why do not they just teach me the simplest and fastest way possible? So I could learn the most!" Textbooks and teachers often referred to our lessons as "being mental exercises!" Well! They were mostly "Mental Confusion!" So this lifetime philosophy or belief led me to the writing of this book so people can learn Spanish the fastest and easiest way possible! This book is designed for anyone who knows absolutely nothing about Spanish or for someone who is very advanced! Yes! For example this book helps me improve my Spanish and I am already a very fluent native speaker! And it is super for all students from grade school (K-12) to university level students to help get them through their courses and make better grades! And helps make their language studies "More Fun!" Also, this book can be used in reverse! Yes! For Spanish speakers to learn English! Subsequent publishings will be geared towards helping Spanish speakers learn English. Again as i Mentioned, this book is great for kids! Both children and their parents can enjoy the playful nature of the book. Like playing word guessing games before bedtime. This book will give you the foundation and cornerstones to making learning Spanish fun, fast, and simple! Make this little book a part of your day and a part of your home for the entire family and everyone will be on their way to learning a new romance language! God bless and best wishes! Sincerely,...g.Tullot

SPANISH IS SIMPLE

__________________

Hello! Spanish is simple and I will tell you why. One third of the Spanish Language or approximately 3,000 words are spelled the same and have the same meaning! For example: the word abdomen in English is the same as in Spanish – abdomen; angel is angel; actor is actor, etc. Then, there are only approximately 1500 words that are used daily and can easily be learned. Last, the pronunciation is extremely simple in that all you need are the vowel sounds AEIOU and nine other simple rules. For example, H is always silent and LL (double L's) are pronounced as in Y in English. You will be able to grasp the pronunciation in the first ten minutes. So you see, twenty minutes to an hour from now, you will be able to read and pronounce Spanish! The rest of the course only involves learning your words and a little grammar so you can put sentences together. So, are you ready to begin?!

INTRODUCTION

AEIOU

Is your key to Spanish!

These five vowels are your KEY to the Spanish language. In English they have long sounds and short sounds. If you were trying to learn English this alone would make it difficult and tricky. In Spanish these vowels have only one sound always! Always the short sound and 'I' in Spanish is like 'E' in English – EEEEH.

A Say AAAAH as in America

E Say excellent, express, exercise

I Say EEEEH, eel, ear, the 'e' sound

O Say organ, Oregon, oreo

U Say booh, poo, zoo

These five vowels are always pronounced the same exact way! Now, that's easy! In English each vowel can have up to three sounds and you never know exactly when that will be. Talk about complicated! You're lucky you're learning Spanish not English.

OK, back to the vowels, Before you open the course each day, say AEIOU in Spanish ten times: AEIOU, AEIOU, AEIOU, AEIOU, AEIOU, AEIOU, AEIOU, AEIOU, AEIOU, AEIOU. That's it. You're ready to start looking over the course. Say these vowels every day and every time before you start going over your Spanish. Now you're ready to start! Great mental warm-up! Right?! Oh, and please look at the Spanish word first, then the English when going over this course. OK, now do not ever tell yourself or think you have to memorize anything! Just look at everything, even without hardly thinking just look and look over the course. The hardest part is opening the darn thing. And I want you to try to watch Spanish television, read newspapers and magazines and when possible converse with Spanish speakers. Along with this course and to help with the DISSIMILAR Words Section, it is also very useful to try to always keep a very small English to Spanish POCKET DICTIONARY in your pocket, room, car, backpack, etc. Please, always remember this, people
