Spanish A La Cartoon

Summary: Aprende espanol...
Review: Cartoons have always been very underrated when it comes to education. They are in fact invaluable when dealing with recall since they combine words and pictures which helps with retention and context.

This little book is filled with cartoons from all over the Spanish speaking world. Some you may find funny, others maybe not. You will learn some good Spanish words in a cultural context as well as learn a modicum of that culture.

Each cartoon is presented in its original form at the top of the page. Below this are the key words for understanding the cartoon, along with translations of these keywords. This makes it very easy to comprehend and learn the words you do not know in the cartoon.

This is probably not a good beginner's book. It does not go into great detail about grammar and verbs. It is designed more for the Spanish learner who already has a basic background and wants to expand their vocabulary.

Lastly, a brief biography of each cartoonist is presented. The cartoons are labeled by Cartoonist and their country.

Overall, the book will help someone already somewhat basically proficient in Spanish (you do not need to be an expert by any means) improve their Spanish. It may also make you laugh, but it will definitely provide you with some juicy Spanish right out of Spanish speaking culture.
