Dive into the tales of Mexico--in Spanish and in English

In Stories from Mexico/Historias de Mexico, we've placed the Spanish and English stories side by side--lado a lado--so you can practice and improve your reading skills in your new language while enjoying the support of your native language. This way, you'll avoid the inconvenience of constantly having to look up unfamiliar words and expressions in a dictionary. Read as much as you can understand, and then look to the facing page for help. As you read, you can check your comprehension by comparing the two versions of the story. You'll also find a bilingual vocabulary list at the end of the book, so you'll have a handy reference for new words.

Stories from Mexico/Historias de Mexico allows you to explore Mexico's rich history. It included 18 well-known Mexican legends that chronicle almost 1,500 years of Mexican history. These tales will introduce you to an array of characters as dynamic and colorful as the country that gave birth to them. Animals, gods, goddesses, warriors, and conquistadors are among those who will make these pages come alive for you As you read these stories side by side, you will be not only fine-tuning your language skills but also gaining insight into the rich cultural heritage of the Mexican people.

This is an excellent reader for the Spanish student who has completed 1 year of study. The controlled vocabulary and the lado a lado format makes for fast and satisfying reading. Incorporates the preterite ,imperfect, and future tenses to reinforce learning. The beginner is able to read these stories independently and without a dictionary. The cultural aspects of the legends are a bonus!
