Introductory Multimedia Spanish Tutorial



Swift Multimedia Spanish begins with a walk through seven rooms of a house. Theidea is to teach you the names of various items in each room and familiarize youwith the correct pronunciation. If you click on Kitchen, for example, you'llhear a native Spanish speaker say "la cocina." You can then click onthe table and learn its Spanish name, "la mesa.

Your software hosts are the multimedia family - a mother, a father, a teenage daughter and her little brother. They also have a dog who will be helping you learn Spanish.The program contains 15 different animated cartoon scenes arranged in three progressive skill levels. All feature the family in their house, at the beach, on vacation, etc. You begin each scene by learning the Spanish vocabulary and verbs associated with the conversations contained in each scene and then watching and exploring the scenes.




La Casa
This menu allows you to select each of the seven room of a house, click on objects, and find out what they are called in Spanish. When you hear each word pronounced by a native Spanish speaker, repeat it until you are familiar with the way it sounds.  You can turn the English and Spanish subtitles on and off by clicking on the black translation bar. This is a toggle function so once you have turned the translations off you can always turn them back on again! When you think you have mastered the vocabulary of each room, test yourself by guessing the object before you click it and seeing if you are right.
