Hi, my name is Bertha Estela and my passion is teaching. I hold a BA from the BUAP in the teaching of English, and a Masters in the teaching of Spanish as a 2nd.language, from the University of the Americas, Puebla. I have been teaching English at all levels, from Basic, all the way to the preparation for the TOEFL for over forty years, at different places, such as: The American School in Puebla, the University of the Americas; and the BUAP, and, of course at - English/Espanol Training Center, Consequently, I ended up opening a bilingual school to teach both languages. On doing this, I realized that none of the books that were in the market at that time - drilled the Know How of the structures that do not transfer from one language to the other Therefore, I wrote my own five-level Series Espanol Facil, Editorial Trillas, which has been a real hit and another series of five books "Lets Walk the Walk" which were only for internal use at E.T.C, my school. But now, being retired, and terribly excited with the option of buying books online, I have written two workbooks that cover the above mentioned structures in depth. I am positive that they will prove to be an excellent source to clarify structures and drills to help students understand and master the pitfalls that any foreign student learning my wonderful language - Spanish, will have to surpass. Trust my word and, if you have any doubt, contact me at estela386Qhotmail.com without any cost. I will be delighted to help you out.

This book aims to provide a better understanding of convergence and non-convergence phenomena, such as divergence, from different theoretical perspectives. It brings together nine case studies that deal with contact between languages found in the Iberian Peninsula (Castilian, Catalan, Portuguese and Basque), between Spanish or Portuguese and another language (such as English), and between different varieties from Europe and other continents. The volume thus unites views from two fields that rarely interact: contact linguistics and dialectology. It discusses the mechanisms and consequences of language contact within the Ibero-Romance world, a geographical space characterised by a high rate of multilingual speakers and settings. The contributions deal with various combinations of convergence and divergence, for example between different varieties of the same language, language stability despite contact, as well as less studied aspects, such as the relation between language contact and second language acquisition, the linguistic landscape perspective of language contact, and divergence in linguistic identity construction.
