About this item

SPANISH FOR AMERICA was conceived, developed, and written with these thoughts in mind: Suggest something, anything, to a teenager, and in all likelihood the very first word we hear coming out of his/her lips will be, "WHY?" That word sounds to many of us adults like an authority-questioning retort. IT IS NOT! In fact, it's the natural and normal response we expect from a developing personality. Teenagers are then just being themselves -normal, inquisitive, and desirous to know the reasons behind of everything. Their minds have evolved to a level where receiving the answer to their "whys" carries more weight than being told the "how". To the contrary, it makes his mental progress and personality development suspect! That mental inquisitiveness and that desire to know the reason "why" become more pronounced to a developing mind attempting to learn a second language.
