The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with the vocabulary needed to converse effectively in Spanish about everyday topics. Although the book contains a review of common, basic words that the reader has probably encountered in his or her early study of Spanish, the aim of Spanish Vocabulary is to enrich a student's knowledge of the language by providing words that seldom appear in typical textbooks but that are essential for communicating comfortably about a given situation.
Unlike a bilingual dictionary, Spanish Vocabulary provides the reader with a great deal of guidance in selecting the proper word(s) for expressing exactly what he or she wishes to say. Anyone not completely fluent in Spanish often finds a bilingual dictionary frustrating. For example, look up the word "bunch" and you'll find as entries ramo, racimo, ristra, mont?n, pu?ado, atado, mazo, manojo, grupo, conjunto. You may still be at a loss as to which word you need. Spanish Vocabulary alleviates this frustration by indicating the specific words used to express such ideas as a bunch of flowers, a bunch of grapes, a bunch of carrots, a bunch of teenagers.
The content of each chapter is focused on a real-life situation, such as making a telephone call, traveling by plane or train, staying at a hotel, or shopping for food. In order to enable readers to build and retain the new vocabulary, the book affords many opportunities to use the new words. Each chapter is divided into subtopics. The student acquires a few new words about a specific topic and is immediately directed to practice them in a multitude of exercises. Answers are provided so the student can make prompt self-correction.
Extensive notes inform the reader of other ways to say the same thing. Spanish is spoken in many countries of the world, but the same words are not necessarily used in all areas of the Spanishspeaking world. This is particularly true for common, frequently used words. Whenever possible, a note will indicate which word would be the most universally understood.
In case the student should also wish to use this book as a reference tool, at the end of each chapter there is a Spanish to English reference list that contains the key words presented in that chapter. A topical reference list of key words from English to Spanish appears immediately after the answers to exercises. In addition, at the very end of the book there is a Spanish to English and English to Spanish glossary that contains all key words introduced in the book. A special list of all foods appears in the Appendix.
Spanish Vocabulary can be used as a review text or an enriching companion to any basic text.
