Spanish Reader Received
In ordering the Devil Wears Prada (en Espanol), I discovered another book called, First Spanish Reader: A Beginner's Dual Language Book, and ordered that as well from Amazon.com.
Today, it arrived. It isn't a very thick book, only about 167 pages (including a glossary of vocabulary words), but has a collection of Spanish writers (Don Juan Manuel, Luis Taboada, Jose Milla, Eufronio Viscarra, Ricardo Palma, Lope de Rueda, Enrique Amorim, Juan Jose Arreola, and many others) -- which means nothing to me now, but assures me that the authors "derive from the best and most genuine Hispanic tradition, and are revealing of the life and psychology of the Spanish-speaking peoples".
I look forward to learning more.... My second lesson is tomorrow with my instructor. I'll show her the book to make sure that it is a good track to follow, but it certainly looks as though it is a good startup book to be reading from.
In the meantime, onward with working on my handwritten lessons due tomorrow!!
