Makes Learning Spanish a Treat!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I purchased this book to help me learn spanish. And I really believe it's working. My spanish is very basic, however as I read through this book I'm less and less reliant on the translation or at least correct in my interpretation. This is a book of clever/cute short spanish tales. Side by Side in English and in Spanish. How the story would be told in Spanish and how the story would be told in English. I recommend it to anyone trying to use reading to learn a language.

My friend was delighted with this gift, and tells me it is the most entertaining way to learn Spanish.
Wonderful regional folk tales

The only way these stories could be better is if Hayes could tell them to you personally. All children, but especially those from the American southwest, will appreciate having a collection of these oft-told tales. Get ready to laugh about the day it snowed tortillas and get shivers when the wind's moans down by the ditch sound like those of a woman.
This is a collection of funny short stories.

Joe brings a lot of native stoys with jokes and morals. All use interesting creatures from New Mexico.
