Synopsis

Margarita Madrigal's books have been used by thousands of readers around the world. Former readers applaud the Madrigal Method: its simplicity, its copious use of cognates, and its humor. The conversations, explanations, exercises, activities and tapes in Open Door to Spanish teach readers to recognize the large number of words and expressions that are alike in English and in Spanish (cognates), strategies and rules for converting English words to Spanish, hints for identifying large numbers of new words in Spanish, formulas to help readers use Spanish verbs to describe events in the past, present, and future. The book has been thoroughly revised and updated and incorporates current language use. Vocabulary lists have been added to the end of each chapter. Cassettes have been newly recorded and use a variety of voices from Latin America. Grammar explanations and exercises are easier to read and the format of the book has been enhanced with a new design and illustrations.
