5.0 out of 5 stars Spanish that kids really do speak, July 29, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Way-Cool Spanish Phrase Book : The Spanish That Kids Really Speak (Paperback)
I stumbled across this book this summer and plan to use it in my 7th & 8th grade beginning Spanish classes during the year. The title page states that it's the Spanish that kids really speak and I agree. The book is set up simply with illustrations that appeal to middle level learners and includes pronunciation examples that are easy to use. (The biggest fear in my students is pronouncing something wrong.) The categories and phrases are of great interest to the age group the book is targeted to. It's a fun book for any age group and I will be using it as a supplement to my regular classroom materials. Teachers - check this out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for independent learning, March 25, 2004
By Shelly Loyall (Taylorsville, KY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Way-Cool Spanish Phrase Book : The Spanish That Kids Really Speak (Paperback)
My middle school students bought this at our school book fair and we sold out twice. My students bring this book to the first day of Spanish class and every day after that even if we don't use it. It gets passed around from student to student as they pour over vocabulary that interests them. They practice it on their own! If you want something that authentically engages young learners, this is it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for ages 7 & up!, September 27, 2005
By Senora Gose (Bryan, Texas) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Way-Cool Spanish Phrase Book : The Spanish That Kids Really Speak (Paperback)
The best thing is the phonetic spelling listed with each phrase or word. No grammar, no real in-depth Spanish rules or anything like that, but enough on each topic to actually give students a chance to communicate when they can't think of what to say! My High school students down to my 8 year olds all have enjoyed this book in and out of class.

There's no place to write in it or do any work, which is again pleasing to the student - it's portrayed as "Don't let the adults catch you reading this!" which seems to encourage the students to read it, but I don't know if everyone would approve of that message...

Of course, there will always be regionalisms, so it won't EXACTLY match the "street Spanish" you hear necessarily, but it's a great place to start!

Cute little illustrations as well. For a younger child, and something you'd like to be able to write in, try Flip Flop Spanish, which comes with a CD!

This little book will appeal to kids because of the way-cool art and choices of phrases, and it is one of the BEST pronunciation guides i've ever encountered. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars It's o.k.
but be warned that one of the so-called popular phrases it teaches is "stupid idiot". Sigh.....

5.0 out of 5 stars ¡Genial!
