Vocabulary forms the building blocks of language learning, and it
is essential for learners to expand their vocabulary - whether for
active communication, or passive oral understanding or written
comprehension. However, most existing vocabulary books don't
provide any assistance in actually learning and assimilating the
words - the student might as well just look words up in a
dictionary.In answer to this need, The Big Red Book of Spanish
Vocabulary is a unique reference that provides students with a
tremendous resource by combining three key, complementary
approaches to vocabulary building:* Cognates: the easiest way to
build vocabulary - by learning words in Spanish that are similar to
the English meaning. This section contains 14,000 cognates
thematically arranged into 20 thematic groups, which are further
divided into 100 topics.* Root families: another key way to expand
vocabulary is to learn related word families that have the same
root. This section contains 14,000 terms grouped by 2,200 root
categories. The headwords (the most commonly used word in the
family) are ordered alphabetically.* Suffixes: more than most
languages, Spanish relies on suffixes to denote parts of speech and
convey nuances of meaning. This section contains 130 of the most
common Spanish suffixes, grouped alphabetically. The meaning of
each suffix is explained, and then exemplified by an illustrative
list of words taking the suffix (4,000 words in all), their English
equivalent, and the stem to which it is related. These three
sections are complimented by a Frequency Index that lists the 5,000
most frequently used words in Spanish. The 1,000 most commonly used
words are illustrated by example sentences that provide contextual
usage. This index is cross-referenced to the Cognate, Root and
Suffix sections.In addition, an Alphabetical Index cross-references
all the entries in the Root, Suffix and Frequency sections.
