Riddles are an essential component of Hispanic humor and folklore. 101 Spanish Riddles presents a fun and entertaining way to expand your knowledge of both Spanish language and culture. Some riddles rhyme, some play on words, some require lateral thinking, and some provide the answer in the question. Organized into ten thematic sections, each riddle is accompanied by a humorous illustration, an English translation, and the answer. In many cases, a dialogue or narrative presents the key vocabulary in a contemporary everyday context, for which translations are included at the back of the book.

101 Spanish Riddles,

This review is from: 101 Spanish Riddles : Understanding Spanish Language and Culture Through Humor (Paperback)
This book provides a different and interesting way to learn new Spanish words and phrasings. But the riddles are often not that funny or clever. Then again, a lot of riddles in English are not that funny or clever, either. Probably best for intermediate or advanced Spanish students.

This review is from: 101 Spanish Riddles : Understanding Spanish Language and Culture Through Humor (Paperback)
some of the example didn't help you remember vocab like abrir : to open. They showed a magician going abracadabra but it lightened the mood so you wouldn't strain your brain
