Learn Spanish with Starter Stories: Interlinear Spanish to English

by Kees Van den End, Bermuda Word HypLern (Editor)

Do you want to learn Spanish with original stories in Spanish? Read in Spanish without looking up words with our interlinear material and expand your vocabulary fast and easy!

The HypLern project has been creating manually word-for-word translated language material since 2006. Our project aims to allow students to start reading the language of their choice immediately, and expand their vocabulary fast. This book contains fun starter stories from Spanish folklore in Spanish.

We have added an interlinear translation to the Spanish text. This means that the meaning of every Spanish word is immediately accessible, which in turn will make it much easier for you to expand your Spanish vocabulary fast.

Use the following method to attain new Spanish vocabulary fast and easy. Read the stories and re-read them until you know almost all the words. This is a fast process because there's no lookup time.

Then focus on the remaining words that you still don't know by marking those in the text, for example. Because of the literal and idiomatic interlinear text this is the fastest method to learn to read Spanish.

I think this would be ideal for someone at an intermediate speaking level. I knew enough to figure out most of what was being said without the translation, but I also learned a ton of new words so this was great! I highly recommend reading this if you want to brush up on your Spanish or learn a bit more.

This isn't what I thought it would be. For one thing, the stories aren't interesting. But trying to pay attention to them, while reading the Spanish and English and learn at the same time was...well, not much fun. Still, it seems like it could be a tool to help pick up a little more Spanish, so...two stars, not one.

I received a copy of this ebook in a Goodreads giveaway. DNF @ 10% while I like the concept of reading both a new language and your native language simultaneously to help learn in practice it was very difficult to manage, and the stories didn’t make much sense.
