When I arrived in the US, a week or two later I noticed books aimed to children in the supermarket. A special area in one of the aisles. I bought several of them. Several word puzzle for 2nd to 3rd graders and one that showed and named animals and their babies.

Not many Hispanic foreigners know right away, what mare is. Or not many English speakers know what "osezno" means.

I found it invaluable in trying to translate my language (good or bad) to English. :-)
