Publisher's Synopsis
Improve your Spanish and expand your vocabulary with topics that matter.
When it comes to mastering a foreign language, reading around your interests makes all the difference. But finding books designed for language learners can be hard! This book fixes that. For the first time, you'll learn to improve your Spanish while reading about the main concepts and key figures of Western philosophy.
Told through short, manageable chapters in intermediate Spanish, you'll become confident in the words, phrases and expressions you need to speak about the topics you care about.
Written in a conversational, easy-to-follow format that makes the concepts easy to understand, Western Philosophy in Simple Spanish explores the main traditions of Western philosophers from Aristotle, to Descartes and from Kant to Nietzsche.
But that's not all! Philosophy has many real-life uses, and this book explores the way in which you can implement them in your life while improving your vocabulary, comprehension and fluency in Spanish.
Here's what you'll get:
- 25 chapters written in conversation format, so you can learn about Western philosophy without the struggle of reading an academic text.
- Helpful chapter summaries at the end of each chapter to help you understand the text.
- Chapters that are carefully written to be accessible for intermediate learners (CEFR B1-B2), so you can read purposively, at your level.
- Word lists with English definitions in every chapter, so you can get instant translations of any difficult words. This means you can focus on enjoying the history rather than wasting time in a dictionary.(Kindle and Paperback only)
The chapters are written in Castilian Spanish. However, since the text uses mostly "neutral" Spanish, you'll have plenty to learn, whether you're learning the Spanish of Mexico, Colombia, or Costa Rica.
Created by Olly Richards, language teacher and author, Western Philosophy in Simple Spanish gives you an experience in real Spanish that you won't find anywhere else. You'll be better prepared for using Spanish in the real world, speak with more confidence, and take a giant leap towards fluency in Spanish!
