Fifty Ways to Have Fun With Your Bad Spanish

Judy Schulten took her first Spanish class forty years ago and has persevered in speaking Spanish (badly, perhaps, but effectively, she says) ever since. In this book she gives surprising reasons to dare to use Spanish, even quite elementary Spanish, as often as you can. The willingness to "get out there with your bad Spanish," along with good will and a friendly smile, will open doors in today's global world.

Judy Schulten's philosophy applies not just to learning Spanish but also to any language and any learner of high school age and older. She has taught English to people from many other countries. Her key rules are: learn more vocabulary than grammar; seek opportunities to practice; and converse regularly with a partner. The fifty ideas for using Spanish come from her own experience. They are easy, mostly free, widely available, and fun.
