Whether for active face-to-face communication or passive comprehension of written or spoken words, an in-depth knowledge of vocabulary is the key to foreign language mastery. The Big Red Book of Spanish Vocabulary makes acquiring this mastery simpler and more straightforward than ever before by providing: An extensive thematic list of Spanish cognates and an alphabetic glossary of Spanish root families both with more than 14,000 entries A comprehensive listing of the 130 most common Spanish suffixes, with 4,000 common examples A frequency index listing the 5,000 most frequently used words in Spanish An alphabetic index cross-referencing every entry in the root, suffix, and frequency sections ", Este texto es mucho, mucho más que un libro de referencias españolas sobre vocabulario. Este texto único y completo combina tres acercamientos complementarios a la construcción de vocabulario, familias de la raíz y sufijos, lo que inmediatamente aumenta la familiaridad de la palabra y ayuda a la memorización. Si para la comunicación cara a cara activa o para la comprensión pasiva de palabras escritas o habladas; un conocimiento profundo del vocabulario es la clave hacia el dominio del idioma extranjero. El libro que ahora está leyendo hace adquirir esta maestría de manera más simple y más directa, ya que siempre está proporcionando: una lista temática y extensa de significados españoles y un glosario alfabético de la raíz española familiar, ambos con más de 14.000 entradas y, un listado completo de los 130 sufijos españoles más comunes, con 4.000 ejemplos., This unique and complete resource combines three complementary approaches to vocabulary buildingcognates, root families, and suffixesto instantly increase word familiarity and aid memorization., A new, and dramaticallyimproved, three-prongedapproach to learning Spanishvocabulary The Big Red Book of Spanish Vocabulary is much, much more than a Spanish vocabularyreference!

However, most existing vocabulary books don't provide any assistance in actually learning and assimilating the words - the student might as well just look words up in a dictionary. In answer to this need, The Big Red Book of Spanish Vocabulary is a unique reference that provides students with a tremendous resource by combining three key, complementary approaches to vocabulary building: * Cognates: the easiest way to build vocabulary - by learning words in Spanish that are similar to the English meaning. This section contains 14,000 cognates thematically arranged into 20 thematic groups, which are further divided into 100 topics. * Root families: another key way to expand vocabulary is to learn related word families that have the same root. This section contains 14,000 terms grouped by 2,200 root categories. The headwords (the most commonly used word in the family) are ordered alphabetically. * Suffixes: more than most languages, Spanish relies on suffixes to denote parts of speech and convey nuances of meaning. This section contains 130 of the most common Spanish suffixes, grouped alphabetically. The meaning of each suffix is explained, and then exemplified by an illustrative list of words taking the suffix (4,000 words in all), their English equivalent, and the stem to which it is related. These three sections are complimented by a Frequency Index that lists the 5,000 most frequently used words in Spanish. The 1,000 most commonly used words are illustrated by example sentences that provide contextual usage. This index is cross-referenced to the Cognate, Root and Suffix sections. In addition, an Alphabetical Index cross-references all the entries in the Root, Suffix and Frequency sections., A new, and dramatically improved, three-pronged approach to learning Spanish vocabulary "The Big Red Book of Spanish Vocabulary" is much, much more than a Spanish vocabulary reference!
