Ever wondered what Christmas is like in Venezuela? What about the famous Holy Week in Spain? Or a typical asado evening in Argentina? Cultural knowledge is an essential part of any language learning. It is the backbone of a language's personality and the main ingredient to a language's unique flavor. It is no different in the case of the oh-so-diverse Spanish. What means baby in one part of the Hispanic world might mean bus in another (we're looking at you, guagua), and what is considered socially acceptable in one might be a cultural offense in another. Written by native speakers from different parts of the Hispanic world, this book offers: ✓ over 20 short stories to give readers a glimpse of the Hispanic culture ✓ an extensive list of colloquial Spanish terms and expressions ✓ cultural explanation or clarification where needed ✓ a series of simple questions after each story to test readers' comprehension (output is just as important as input!) and more! Add this book to your collection of Spanish learning tools now and join us in discovering the colorful culture of the Hispanic world! ¡Leamos en español!
