    About this ebook

    A new way to improve your Spanish skills

    This book is a 100% bilingual. It contains a series of general knowledge quizzes, each question in Spanish, followed by the same question in English, so you can check your Spanish comprehension straightaway. Another click and you get the answer, in Spanish first then in English.

     

    The idea is simple: to master Spanish through extensive bilingual reading. If you are learning Spanish, it's an entertaining way to practice your language skills (great for Spanish SATs too). You can practice easy Spanish phrases, but also some more challenging ones. As you work through the questions and answers watch how quickly your confidence in Spanish grows!

     

    Simply click through the questions at your own pace, trying to understand as much as you can. Because the text is fully bilingual, you will always be able to understand everything, helping you to learn Spanish through reading and to consolidate your knowledge of Spanish grammar and improve Spanish vocabulary. These parallel Spanish-English bilingual texts are like having a personal teacher at your side!

     

    Developing your reading skills in a second language is difficult and time-consuming. Clic-books are about little and often, an entertaining form of Spanish language immersion. Whenever you have a few minutes free, 'click' through as much material as you want, practicing in a relaxed and convenient way, building your knowledge of Spanish grammar and vocabulary quickly and effectively using fully bilingual texts.

     

    This is a dual-language book and everything is in Spanish AND English, so don't worry if you don't understand everything; you will always have translations to help you understand Spanish phrases and vocabulary as you go. Whatever your level, this book will help you to develop your comprehension and grow your Spanish vocabulary quickly and efficiently.

     

    LEARN SPANISH WITH GENERAL KNOWLEDGE QUIZZES is a fun self-study resource. It's a quick and effective way to practice Spanish, whether you're learning the language for travel, business, high school Spanish tests and college exams, or taking Spanish SATs, ACT or PSAT / NMSQT tests. Anyone else who has already acquired a basic working knowledge of the language can benefit from this book.

    ***

    The translations in this book are as literal as possible while sticking to standard, everyday language. For that reason, the English phrases do not always reflect the Spanish texts word-for-word. Use them as a guide to comprehension, not as an exact parallel of the original Spanish.

      Introduction

      What? This ebook is a 100% bilingual. It is in the form of a series of general knowledge quizzes, with each question in Spanish then in English (plus the answers!). If you are learning Spanish, it’s an entertaining way to practice your language skills.

      Simply ‘click’ through each question at your own pace, trying to understand as much as you can. Because the text is fully bilingual (Spanish-English), you will always have the help you need to improve and consolidate your knowledge of Spanish grammar and vocabulary. It’s like having a personal Spanish teacher at your side as you read!

      Why? Because people have busy lives, and developing your reading skills in a second language is difficult and time-consuming. Clic-books are about little and often. Whenever you have a few minutes free, practice your Spanish in a relaxed and convenient way, building your knowledge of grammar and vocabulary quickly and effectively using fully bilingual texts.

      How? Clic-books present you with very short examples of Spanish language, normally one or two sentences at a time. By clicking to the next page you see the same text, in English. As you work through the questions watch how quickly your French reading skills improve!
