Stories from Mexico | Historias de Mexico

Side by Side Bilingual Books

By G Barlow & W N Stivers

"In Stories from Mexico | Historias de Mexico, we've placed the Spanish and English stories side by side - lado a lado - so you can practice and improve your reading skills in your new language while enjoying the support of your native language. This way, you'll avoid the inconvenience of constantly having to look up unfamiliar words and expressions in a dictionary. Read as much as you can understand, then look to the facing page for help. As you read, you can check your comprehension by comparing the two versions of the story. You'll also find a bilingual vocabulary list at the end of the book so you'll have a hand reference for new words.

Stories from Mexico | Historias de Mexico allows you to explore Mexico's rich folk legacy. It includes sixteen well-known Mexican legends that chronicle some 1500 years of Mexican history and mythology. These tales will introduce you to an array of characters who are as dynamic and colourful as the country that gave birth to them. Animals, gods, goddesses, warriors, and conquistadors are among those who will make these pages come alive for you!

As you read these texts side by side, you will not only be fine-tuning your language skills, you will also be gaining insight into the rich cultural heritage of the Mexican people."

This book is brand new and is aimed at advanced beginners who want to start reading some stories. The level of language is reasonably easy but challenging enough for a beginner or someone re-learning Spanish.
