Intermediate Spanish Memory Book

<p>Mnemonics is an age-old device for remembering names numbers and many other things. As in the authors' previous <i>Memory Books</i> the <i>Intermediate Spanish Memory Book</i> makes use of this reliable memory help in a series of mnemonic jingles that are by turns playful sardonic touching and heroic to help both students and independent learners acquire and remember Spanish vocabulary. The 500-plus words in this book represent a more advanced vocabulary than those in the <i>Spanish Memory Book</i> (1990) and the <i>Spanish Memory Book Junior Edition</i> (1993).</p> <p>The mnemonic jingles present both the sound of the Spanish word (indicated by syllables in italic type) and its English meaning (given by a word or phrase in boldface type):</p> <p><b>merienda: picnic afternoon tea</b></p> <p><i><u>Mary end a</u></i> boring <b>picnic</b>.<br> Just say I'm going home. I'm sick Nick.</p> <p>This innovative approach to vocabulary building is simple effective and entertaining.</p>
