Spanish for beginners cdrom: samples
Samples from lessons and games:
Sample 61
Third sample from the same lesson (discovering more about I am, you are, etc.) This is the longest lesson on the cdrom, and also one of the most useful ones. It tells when to use 'ser' and 'estar' and the differences between these two Spanish verbs, both of which mean 'to be' in English.
Sample 62
Learning more food words. We've put a lot of emphasis on food and drink on this cdrom, knowing that going out is one of the things you enjoy most when you're in Spain.
Sample 63
Discovering how to say where we are going. With this lesson you learn to say and understand things like: 'I'm going to the shoe shop', 'where are you going?', 'where is the teacher going?', 'the lawyer is going to town', etc.
Sample 64
Speaking game, recording yourself. The sentences you come across in the speaking game towards the end of the cdrom are long and use the vocabulary you've learned throughout the cdrom, even in the first few lessons.
Sample 65
Dragging game. Here you practice questions and answers with the verb 'to go'. You can click on the Spanish questions to hear them.
Sample 66
Discovering how to ask for prices. This is bound to be one of the most useful lessons on the entire cdrom, specially after you've learned more than 500 words and built hundreds of sentences in other lessons and games.
Sample 67
Speaking game, listening to your answer and the native speaker's. In this game you'll practice asking the price of things you want to buy.
Sample 68
Discovering how to ask for information. Another very useful lesson that'll help you make the most of your time in Spain. In it you can listen to and practice saying examples of how to ask questions starting with 'Could you tell me ... ?'
Sample 69
The last dragging game on the cdrom. If you want to practice asking for information, the two games in this chapter are just what you're looking for.
Sample 70
Story: 'My friends and I'. The last Stage of this cdrom is a story with many characters. With it you'll be able to review a lot of the vocabulary you've learned and, more importantly, get a nice reward for all your hard work. Well done!
