Beginning Spanish

Beginning Spanish: Direct Method is a language learning book written by Aurelio Macedonio Espinosa and first published in 1921. The book is designed to teach beginners the Spanish language using a direct method approach, which focuses on teaching vocabulary and grammar through practical conversation rather than memorization. The book is divided into 25 lessons, each of which covers a specific topic such as greetings, introductions, family, food, and travel. Each lesson includes vocabulary lists, grammar explanations, and exercises to reinforce learning. The book also includes a pronunciation guide, a list of irregular verbs, and a glossary of Spanish words and phrases. The author emphasizes the importance of practicing speaking and listening skills, and provides opportunities for students to do so through dialogues and exercises. Beginning Spanish: Direct Method is a comprehensive and practical guide for anyone looking to learn Spanish from scratch, and is suitable for both self-study and classroom use.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
