Day 21
August 23, 2008
I jumped into Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal. Es muy interesante!
The great things about studying reading Harry Potter in Spanish are (1) I know the story already so I’m not completely lost, and (2) I have literary images to solidify vocabulary terms in my head. Por ejemplo, “Los Dursley estaban orgullosos de decir que eran muy normales, afortunadamente.” I’m not very familiar with verb tenses, but that all the verbs were introduced in the imperfect tense helped me with real-life examples. Also, just on the first page they use the term for “to be called” twice, which allowed me to look it up once in the dictionary, and then review it again immediately for practice.
