Book excerpt: This unique and delightful e-book from one of New York City’s top language schools will teach you Spanish in the easiest, most effective way possible—by combining illustrations of everyday situations with Spanish text and clickable audio. There are no separate audio files or apps to download. Simply click on the images on each page to hear the captions and dialogue spoken by native speakers and repeat what you hear. The emphasis on conversational Spanish, broken down into common phrases and lexical chunks, will teach you to speak and understand Spanish as it is actually spoken, and you’ll pick up grammar and syntax naturally without even realizing it. This immersive textbook is ideal for self study or the classroom, for beginner to intermediate students, and includes: * More than 1400 illustrated scenarios accompanied by captions and dialogue in colloquial Spanish; * Over 200 essential Spanish verbs, with illustrated examples and simple tables covering 11 tenses and moods; * Special thematic sections on 20 topics including food, family, work and travel; and * Links to 100 grammar and usage notes that explain the concepts demonstrated in each section. (But if you read the illustrated pages on your own a few times, you may not need them!) Idlewild’s method is based on the latest research on language acquisition and more than a decade of experience teaching group classes in New York City and online. Idlewild’s classes have been named “Best of New York” by New York Magazineand have been recommended by The New Yorker, Time Out, Vox and Condé Nast Traveler, among others.
