Vanilla90 is just trying to survive.
I took 4 years of spanish… but i’m sure i’ll spend most of the time reading it flipping through the dictionary. just need to go find a book that seems interesting.
How I did it: The first book I read in Spanish was called Boda de Conveniencia. It was the first in a 3-book mini-series, Bodas de Sociedad. At the time that I bought this (second-hand in Spain) I was pretty sure that Boda meant “Body”. It doesn’t. (It means wedding.) It's a trashy, but it's learning. Reading a fun book is one of the best ways to increase your vocabulary.

This would defenitley be impressive. At that moment I will be so content with myself. It woud mean my hard work had really paid of.
but a good way to get your brain into absorbing the language, even if you’re unsure of what you’re reading.
This is harder than I thought. I bought the Spanish version of Caramelo one day at Borders because I thought it would be fun. I can understand basically what’s going on, but I think alot of the intricasies (aka a third of the words) are lost to me. So I went on Amazon the other day and ordered a couple of books that looked a little easier. Now I’ll have something to work on this summer.
I haven’t gone to the bookstore to buy a book in Spanish, but I have been making an effort to visit Spanish websites and review human development information, relationship dynamic information, and art therapy projects to share with the families that I work with. I’ve been finding great new handouts and activities to share.
