Clear the confusion that deceptive cognates (words that appear the same or similar in two languages, but whose meanings are quite different) can create in vocabulary between the English and Spanish languages! From humorous aspects ("Do you have a tissue? I'm constipated." Translation: "I have a cold.") to serious aspects ("Doctor, I think my little boy is intoxicated." Translation: "I think my little boy is poisoned."), this book is essential for Spanish speakers learning English, English speakers learning Spanish, and teachers of either language! Each unit opens with an illustrated, lively glossary, preceded by several interactive exercises that help learners internalize the correct uses of these tricky words. There are over 100 easy-to-understand explanations and clear examples. If you want éxito in learning English or Spanish (not exit, but success), this is the book for you!

Men Can Get Embarrassed, Too! Confusing Vocabulary for Spanish Speakers

Alta Book Center

At long last English language teachers have what they’ve been waiting for – a “professional friend” to give a helping hadn’t at all times. A great deal more than a grammar book, this resource is a unique exploration into the areas of the language that teachers, both beginners and veterans, have found troublesome to understand, hard to explain, and challenging to demonstrate to students. Its down-to-earth, reader friendly format gives a fresh, new way of looking at complex material, in turn preparing teachers to communicate better and give more effective examples to students. You’ll find valuable information that you’ve never seen in other grammar reference books!
