DEL PERGAMINO A LA CINTA DE OCHO MILÍMETROS

A pesar de que nos defendamos más o menos en inglés, todos, en mayor o menor medida, tenemos dudas a la hora de elegir la palabra, expresión o construcción adecuada de una frase.

El cuento hispánico: A Graded Literary Anthology , Eighth Edition, is designed for intermediate college Spanish reading courses. This book provides students with a collection of fi rst-rate Spanish-language short stories with which to expand their reading skills and their knowledge of Hispanic culture as por- trayed in these works. Although literary excellence was the primary crite- rion in selecting stories, an effort was also made to choose tales that can be read in one sitting.

With culturally thematic chapters and a traditionally organized grammar sequence, this is a solid and complete introductory course. It is ideal for instructors who want a balanced, contemporary course but not necessarily an innovative methodology. Although chapter changes in the new edition include an overall shortening, a trimming of grammar detail, and adding more visually-based activities, the basic methodology remains unchanged.

Accompanied by audio exercises and downloadable mini-dialogs for practice in usage and review, offers 555 fully conjugated verbs, current idioms and expressions for each verb, extended usage examples, and more than 2,500 verbs cross-referenced to conjugation models.
