Publisher Comments:

The grass IS greener with this proverb book, enhanced with mini-conversations on an MP3 disc

Adding proverbs to your language skills opens up a whole new way for you to express yourself. But to translate commonly known proverbs word-for-word from your own language into another doesn't work and may even change meaning all together. 101 Spanish Proverbs with MP3 Disc presents their translations and explains how to use them. Humorous illustrations help you remember the meaning of the proverbs. This enhanced edition contains a 90-minute MP3 disc with 101 dialogues, spoken by native speakers, so you can hear how these are used and practice your own use of these colorful sayings.

Synopsis:

A collection of Spanish proverbs, grouped in themes, with both literal and idiomatic translations, each one illustrated with a cartoon. Dialogues and narratives are used to show how the expressions are used in everyday language. Intended for use in schools or by adult learners.

Synopsis:

101 Spanish Proverbs is a delightful introduction to the colorful and insightful proverbs that Spanish-speakers use every day. The 101 proverbs are grouped according to useful themes, such as good advice, weather, knowledge, love and friendship, health and wealth, adversity, and getting things done.

Synopsis:

Each proverb is translated literally, given an English equivalent, and illustrated with a humorous cartoon.
