<p>Unlike other vocabulary guides that require the rote memorization of literally thousands of words this book starts from the premise that using the <i>etymological</i> connections between Spanish and English words-their common derivations from Latin Greek and other languages-is the most effective way to acquire and remember vocabulary. This approach is suitable for beginners as well as for advanced students. Teachers of the language will also find much material that can be used to help motivate their students to acquire and retain Spanish vocabulary.</p> <p><i>Spanish Vocabulary</i> is divided into four parts and four annexes:</p> <ul> <li>Part I provides background material on the origins of Spanish and begins the process of presenting Spanish vocabulary.</li> <li>Part II presents classical Spanish vocabulary-words whose form (in both Spanish and English) is nearly unchanged from Latin and Greek.</li> <li>Part III deals with popular Spanish vocabulary which underwent significant changes in form (and often meaning) during the evolution from Latin to Spanish. A number of linguistic patterns are identified that will help learners recognize and remember new vocabulary.</li> <li>Part IV treats a wide range of themes including words of Germanic and Arabic origin numbers time food and animals the family the body and politics.</li> <li>Annex A: Principal exceptions to the Simplified Gender Rule</li> <li>Annex B: 700 words whose relations if any to English words are not immediately obvious</li> <li>Annex C: <i>-cer</i> verbs and related words</li> <li>Annex D: 4500 additional words either individually or in groups with English correspondences</li> </ul>
