I mentioned in an earlier post about the Young Adult level books that I had purchased in my target languages especially Spanish. I have since also found another excellent reason to do this is that I personally find it easier to grasp grammar in context. In the latest book I've purchased by author Erika Sanchez titled "Llorando en el bano" it is her second book. The first book she wrote is "Yo no soy tu perfecta hija mexicana". What I also love is you get real colloquial phrases, phrasal verbs and other common expressions and native sayings. My teacher and I do a paragraph or two for a lesson and he will give more detailed explanations and point out words that make up a common phrase (collocations). I even found out that Kermit the frog is referred to as Rana Rene (accent on the last e). I highly recommend it for anyone who is trying to move up from the upper intermediate level to lower advanced. I think it's a wonderfyl and fun way to expand your fluency. You can also order them from your local Barnes and Noble in Spanish too. They have it in Spanish only and also offer a bilingual Spanish/English version. Here's wishing you joy on your language journey!
