Understanding and Teaching the Indirect Object in Spanish presents an easy-to-understand approach to all aspects of direct and indirect objects in Spanish. Distinguishing between direct and indirect objects can pose challenges for learners and is almost impossible to do using the tools that linguists have traditionally used. This book offers two simple, all-encompassing inferences that allow learners to tackle this area of language by intuitively inferring the distinction, as native speakers do, between verber and verbed. This book will be of interest to teachers and learners of Spanish and other second languages, as well as linguists interested in argument structure, second language acquisition, second language teaching or pedagogy, and multilingualism.

The second book Spanish Reader for Beginners-Elementary 2 takes basic Spanish Grammar Structures, such as Regular Verbs, Reflexive Verbs, Stem-change Verbs, and irregular verbs in the Past Tense, placing them in the context of scenarios that help you learn them as you enjoy reading short paragraphs fully translated from Spanish to English. You will find a Reading & Comprehension Exercise after each chapter. Moreover, in this second book I have introduced Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns, which at times can prove to be quite daunting to master unless provided with extensive practice once your teacher has introduced you to this subject. Although each paragraph in Spanish in this book includes a second paragraph in English, I prefer to encourage students to understand the differences and uses of certain Grammatical Structures and verbs through paragraphs providing examples and short exercises that trigger intuitive learning. However, because this is a Basic Spanish Reader, I have provided literal Spanish to English translation (too literal at times) for all paragraphs in order for the reader to comprehend sentence structure in Spanish, and thus acquiring greater understanding regarding the way we speak Spanish in Latin America.We have intended to use four different colors to highlight the structures in the text; however, we are afraid that this feature will only be available in the print format. As you begin to learn Spanish as a Foreign Language, the various uses of the verbs Ser and Estar may seem like quite challenging task; nevertheless, through the unique teaching style of CostaRica SpanishOnline School, the learner is able to comprehend these structures in a natural manner. You will find yourself gladly leaving behind exhausting exercises and finding your own way of learning through our more creative approach to learning a foreign language. There is absolutely no need to rely on extensive drilling exercises. You will find extended practice of Ser and Estar in the first book, Spanish Reader for Beginners-Elementary. We highly suggest, at the beginner level of this Spanish course, starting out with Spanish Reader for Beginners-Elementary, and Spanish Reader for Beginners Elementary 2 prior to purchasing Spanish Reader for Beginners. I hope you find these short paragraphs, examples and exercises helpful. Iris Acevedo A. Author/Founder

This textbook boosts the confidence of persons teaching Spanish as a second language, who may lack confidence in their understanding of tricky areas of expression. Their previous training did not enable them to control (much less explain to others) the many “danger zones” which challenge graduate students serving as teaching assistants, in-service teachers, and others who use Spanish professionally. It offers original and insightful analyses, abundant examples and helpful English comparisons. It dismantles the machinery of grammar into manageable parts. It is not intended for those wishing to learn Spanish (since it skips the basics to focus on the “rough spots”), but for those who know Spanish well, yet need to overcome their nagging limitations in crucial areas, e.g. subjunctive, reflexives, pronouns (neuter, relative, personal), adjective placement, ser/estar, preterite/imperfect, commands, gender, passive and impersonal expressions. There are special sections on words easily confused with each other, use of the accent mark, irregular verbs, and sentence structure. It is ideal for self-study or to supplement courses in composition, culture and Spanish linguistics. It benefits native-speaker teachers unfamiliar with the “why” of their language. The result is a better prepared teacher and a more promising learning experience for the students.
