Book excerpt: Learning a new language can be overwhelming. Tens of thousands of new words reshape the way a student thinks, communicates and expresses themselves. A simple pamphlet can be extremely rewarding in that it creates a strong foundation for the concepts necessary to learn Spanish. Verb conjugation and the alphabet are two skills that are vitally necessary to learn Spanish. A pamphlet can concisely cover these two topics, as well as others, but can also be a portable resource that can be used whenever it is needed.
