The method explains, in Mr Z's own words, why one new word per step works. It takes a few minutes to read and it changes how you use everything else.
The lessons
Lessons opens on a card for each topic — pronouns, the verb to be, modal verbs, question words, core words, and the words from the book. Click a topic, click a lesson, and the player takes you one step at a time. English is on the left in blue, Spanish on the right in red. Click either side to hear it. Press the microphone to say it back and get a score.
Looking a word up
Dictionary holds both languages in one file — type an English or a Spanish word and you get its meanings, with examples, and you can hear every line.
Pronunciation
The pronunciation key writes every English sound the way a Spanish speaker reads it. Vowel sounds covers the eighteen English vowel sounds one by one. Word families shows how changing the first letter gives you a new word.
Word sets worth knowing early
Super words are the hundred English words that carry the most meanings. Time words puts days, months, the clock and how-often in one place. Keywords collects the phrases built on up, down, in and out. Word parts ranks the prefixes and endings by how often they appear.
For children
Kids is the same material with big buttons and sound first.
