Time Lesson 1C

World Book Foreign Language Edition

Basic Discovery Exercise

I'm sticking with Enciclopedia Estudiantil Hallazgos, my lack of knowledge about foreign languages is bad enough but my basic knowledge of some Spanish is much better than French!

Hmmm, looks a lot like the Kids versions earlier, bet I can get to Plants and Animals.  Found service animals, the pictures help a great deal here.  I think I might mention this to our language department, could be useful to some of them, especially the beginning students.  Visual dictionary is the same as in the English language version, will be very helpful in learning some new Spanish words.  Found a scale, or del peso [m].  Interesting.  My computer isn't cooperating for listening to an article being read but I'll bet that would help a lot with pronunciation!  Very interesting.


 Advanced Challenge

The word "house" gets 8 articles in the spanish edition, articles are listed in English but text is in Spanish.  Could be very useful for those who are struggling with the language and want help. 

Using the browse was harder for me, needed to remember what the word for "house" was in Spanish, finally came up with casa, then the browse worked much better and I got some accurate results.  Als, many more results using the browse, the results showed many more terms that could be used instead of "casa".  Fascinating.



Aha, reached the end of the week one lessons.  I think I learned a few things, I know I had fun and I will probably use the resources for some things when I happen to work Reference.  Thanks!
