1. Spanish Proficiency Exercises is a compilation of brief video clips in which native speakers of Spanish from various locations throughout Latin America and Spain demonstrate various language tasks.
2. Second, there are video clips of native speakers who also perform the proficiency tasks.
3. Third, to help perform the same task, we provide a Spanish/English glossary of vocabulary words that students may need in order to talk about the topic.
4. The objective of the exercises is to provide students of Spanish with the necessary tools to be able to talk about the same topics in Spanish.
5. This simplified version is scripted, the native speakers talks slower, and he or she uses simpler words and less slang.
6. In order to do, this Spanish Proficiency Exercises contains five major components.
7. Fourth, we also provide sample sentences that one may want to use in order to talk about the topic.
8. Finally, we offer a brief, mini-grammar explanation on some grammar principle that is related to the proficiency topic.
9. What the native speakers say is what they really said.
10. Some may talk fast, others talk slow, and some have specific regional dialects.
11. First, there is a simplified video clip.
1. So it's not for me but 4 stars for an innovative approach.So far so amazing.. topics people actually want to be able to discuss - first couple of videos only 20 and 50 seconds each which is absolutely perfect for quick exposure to listening last thing before bed - multiple videos for each topic, transcripts, grammar and vocab.
2. The speakers in the video speak clearly and there is a written transcript as well as teaching about grammar, vocabulary etc.
3. This nifty app has tons of examples to practice! It fills a big gap in courses that only present statements in one or two specific ways -which makes sense when you are a beginner but becomes unbareably monotonous later when you are actually trying to have conversations.
4. It would be greatly improved for beginners by having lots of dialogue rather than only monologues as it is now That said the concept is clever and having the written transcript available to study is terrific.
5. I hope this app stays as it is.this app is amazing!!! it has videos, the identity and country of origin of native speakers and very in depth explanations.
6. The content is spoken in Spanish by native speakers and then the dialogues are written and explained in English.
7. I wish I could read the transcripts the same time as the video is playing but other than than that the app is simple and does it's job.Wow! There are options for dark and light themes.
8. Great learning tool!This is a great app with an excellent and effective approach to learning Spanish.
9. it isn't the sexiest looking app however the quality and superior learning resources and the ease with which it is to use more than compensates for that!!!Excellent app for listening practice.
10. The audio for the video started playing while i was reading yhe transcript.
11. Please check lesson number 8, "Ask and give directions." Under the Phrases section, third paragraph from the bottom, you'll find the subjunctive of "estar"used incorrectly instead of the indicative.
