Lee un libro que está a tu altura de compresión. In other words, read a book that you would read in English.

I do not think you would willingly read in English a kid's book nowadays, just because you want to read "something". Right?



As above...

Read something that is of your REAL interest, and make it a novel.

For example: if you like to read about WII, don't just read a book about it, because the book will relate most likely stuff from the war giving figures , dates etc, whereas a novel about the war will mix LIFE. Love, adventure, sensations, feelings etc... a world of descriptions, which is how our mind works...

Compro el libro, ''Parque Jurásico''

Si te gustó en inglés, a fuerza te tiene que gustar en español.

El haberlo leído en inglés una vez, te ayuda a comprenderlo en español más rápido. La cosa es tener paciencia con uno mismo, porque me imagino que quieres hacer esto para "ayer", ¿no?

A mí cuando alguien me dice que quiere algo "para ayer" le contesto: "pues habérmelo dado mañana"

Pero eso sería retrasarlo mucho...

Hola a todos, hi everyone!

For those of you who are interested in it (I have not used it myself so I have no opinion on the quality of it.. I know people say very different things, some love it some hate it..)

The Latin American version of the Rosetta Stone (Level 1,2 and 3) can be downloaded for free on this site.



In fact on this site you can find many free ebooks & audiobooks such as grammarbooks, Spanish courses, audio materials as well as literature (on the sistersite for which you can use the same login details). You have to register in order to be able to download but this is free and only used for registration.

Oh sorry, I hadn't realized that - in fact I have not used this myself either.

Sorry!
