GUIDE

You are about to begin a course designed to enable you to cornrnunicate in situations which you are likely to encounter in Puerto Rico.

The emphasis of the course is on speaking and understanding Spanish, and you will be

working extensively with tapes. You will also learn to read traffic signs and signs found in public buildings.

1.

We discourage you from trying to read the Spanish without listening to the tape. If you attempt to read first and then

listen to the tape, you will quickly discover that

in many cases what you hear doesn't sound anything like what you see, and you will have wasted valuable time.

Individual learning styles vary, and we have built a

certain amount of flexibility into the materials to accommo- date these variations. The recornmendations that we make here have been successful for most students. If you have

approaches that work better for you, by all means, use them.

(7)

Student Guide

You will notice that when sorne words are pronounced by themselves, they will sound different from the way they sound in a sentence. Look at the English sentence "Did you eat'yet?" which usually comes out sounding something like "jeetjet?" Spanish is no different, so pay careful attention to the way words combine with each other in sentences.

2.

You should never

repeat anything you don't understand. This does not mean that you must be able to translate everything word for word; i t simply means that you should be able to attach a meaning to what you hear and repeat.

A good technique is to try to form pictures of what you are repeating. In certain kinds of exercises you will find yourself becoming very good at making the correct responses without being aware of what you're saying.

Guard against this! Always think about what you're saying. When you begin to think in Spanish, you'll find i t much easier to

monitor what you're saying. It won't matter that there is no word-for-word correspondence between the Spanish and English because you won't be thinking in English

and translating words--you'll be translating thoughts.

3.

You may need to refer to your book the first time you do sorne exercises, but don't be satisfied with your performance until you can do the exercises

in the pauses allowed on the tape without referring to the book. If you cannot keep up with the tape, take i t a bit

slower; stop the tape and give yourself time to formulate your response; repeat the exercise a

couple of times. If you still ~ ~

can't keep up, go on to the next!'-''?::._~/~==:::::~~ :( c-=~-c:---,~-

5.

You will sometimes find grammar notes and literal translations in the "Notes on the Conversation" immediately following the conversation, and sometimes, as appropriate, with the exercise itself. The notes are important only if they fit your particular learning style and make 'it easier for you to learn the material.

Memorizing grammar rules is not an objective of this course.

Play with the language!

Make new sentences--even if you have to use an English word.

Express your thoughts--that's what language is all about.

At first i t will seem as

if

you are never going to be

able to make sorne of the sounds you hear. Remember, you are overcoming 20, 30, 40, Or more years of speech habit and your muscles will need sorne retrain-

ing. It's almost as though you suddenly had to start writing with your other hand¡ i t can be done, but i t will take sorne

practice. Remember to enunciate clearly, to artieulate distinetly, and to projeet your voiee as if you were the anchorman broad- casting the six o'eloek news.

6.

Lastly, and most importantly, praetiee speaking Spanish at every opportunity¡

talk to your instructor, to your classmates, to yourself.

Use what you have learned.

Don't be afraid to experiment with the words and structures you 1 earn •. _ _ I

4. Self-evaluation Quiz

Unit-by-unit objectives for each module are stated at the beginning of the module; at the end of each module is a Spanish- English Glossary to be used for reference. The Keys to marked exercises and to the Self-evaluation Quizzes are at the end of the book. A separate booklet contains the Cumulative Glossary

(Spanish-English and English-Spanish).

Modules 1 through IV should be studied in sequence. Average completion time for students who have never studied Spanish is 30 to 40 hours. The contents of each module are shown below.

HOW TO STUDY THE COURSE

Select the proper tape. Before you 'start the tape for each

module, read the objectives and the

~nglish version of the conversation.

All

structions are on the tape; you cannot work without

After practicing the conversation, check the Notes on the Conversation, which in addition to gram- matical explanations con-

tain cultural and general information related to the subject or the setting of

the conversation. In the English version of the

conversation, words required in (~&OO~)

but not in English

appear in parentheses;

words not used in Spanish but that are

needed in [1t~IUl~J

are in brackets.

Conversations in the Familiar

Spanish, like many other languages,

has a polite or formal form of address,

/0/

as well as a familiar or informal forme In this course the emphasis is placed on the formal form of address since i t is impolite to use the familiar form when you first meet someone. However, near the end of each unit there is an exercise which is a conversation

strictly for listening comprehension.

The familiar form appears only in these conversations, and as the name implies, is used when there is a certain famil- iarity between the speakers. Since Puerto Ricans often switch to this informal form, these conversations are designed to familiarize you with it, as well as to give you practice in

guessing at the meaning of what you hear. These conversations may include materials from units you have already studied, but

slightly rearranged, or they may include new words.

It is important that

you try to understand as much as possible without looking at your text. Play the conversation several times if you need to. The first time, you may get only a general idea of what is happening, but each time you play i t

you will understand more. Later you will be able to confirm any guesses you have made, and you will find yourself beginning to think in Spanish.

The last step in this exercise is to check your text and any notes on the exercise¡ then play the conversation again while following your text. The English translation--if you need it-- is in the Key.

6

Keep in mind that the material covered in these conversations is strictly for listening comprehension¡ any new words or phrases found in these conversations will not be tested.

(12)

Self-Evaluation Quizzes

Student Guide

Each unit contains Say in Spanish exercises, which will help you review for the Self-evaluation Quiz (SEQ) at the end of each unit. If you have no trouble with these exercises, you are ready for the SEQ. The SEQ, which tests your achievement of the unit objectives, consists of a series of situations in which you must respond appropriately, either in Spanish or in English. Depending

75 I TRANSI~ ~AR~

L . - - I

E_N_TR_A_DA..-J 100

on the objectives of the unit, you may be called upon to write down numbers, (time, prices) or to comprehend limited written material such as building and road signs. The quizzes are on tape, as are the correct responses to items in which you are required to speak. The correct answers for the entire quiz are printed in the Key. If you can respond correctly to all the items in the quiz in the time allowed on the tape, you can be confident that you have achieved the objectives of that unit.

End-of-Course Tests

When you have completed the four modules, you are ready for the

End-of-Course test. This test consists of 50 items in the multiple-choice

format. If you have performed satisfac- torily on the SEQs and interviews, you

will probably find this test fairly easY.~

Eighty percent (40 correct answers) is ~ _ _

the passing score. ~

"NOTES ON THE CONVERSATION

l. el contramaestre Scott: In Spanish, the definite article el ("the") is used when aman identifies himself or when aman is identified by a title and his last name. ("Mr." is considered a title.) This el is not translated into English.

2. le presento: The word le (an indirect object pronoun) means

"to you."

3. presento ("[IJ introduce"): In Spanish, the words for "I"

(~), "you" (usted/ustedes), and "we" (which 1s nosotros) are often left out of sentences. These words are really not needed since the verb ending tells who is doing the action.

[Yo] present2 [lJ introduce

4. Mucho gusto may also be used to mean "a pleasure to have met you" in parting from someone you have just mete

5. Señora means "lady" or "ma ^Iame " lAlhen followed by the husband's family name, i t means "Mrs."

6. Encantada: Aman would say Encantado.
