Spanish in a Suitcase

Travelling to Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Spain, or any of the 21 countries where Spanish is spoken? Start your journey before you leave with this ebook saturated with audio. 


Spanish in a Suitcase is a short course you can do on your own, as well as a phrasebook to take with you. Its five chapters provide essentials for travel situations with clear explanations and audio examples, taking you to an elementary level of Spanish – at your own pace, confidently, and in a fun way.


Almost every word, phrase and dialogue in Spanish is accompanied by audio recordings of a variety of personalities and accents. Pronunciation starts off clearly and slowly, and gradually gets faster over the course of the five chapters. Your confidence will grow with repeated listening and practice.


Each lesson revolves around a broad topic and begins with new words, followed by phrases, then dialogues, thus building your Spanish. You are encouraged to utilise the interactivity of the iPad, for example, regular suggestions to make your own notes for new words encountered on your trip. These searchable notes will give your ebook a personal touch, making it a brilliant addition to your pack or suitcase for when you really need it. 


This ebook sits in the space between the study you hope to do pre-travel, and the phrasebook that you take on the road. It is great for any beginning student, whether you’re enrolled in a course, or making the Spanish language journey on your own.
