Spanish with Monsters by Kelly McLarnan Book Summary

If you need to learn Spanish in order to navigate the situations of everyday life, you’ll love this book! 

Spanish with Monsters (SWIM) is a language learning program designed both for independent and classroom learners. Unlike any other language program on the market, this worktext is practical for learning everyday conversation skills and informative about meaningful language topics. SWIM uses a combination of learning strategies to keep the student focused on the goal of gaining proficiency through interaction.

Originally developed for adult learners living abroad, monsters were created to spark conversation and lighten the mood. Each lesson is designed to help students achieve a specific set of relevant objectives.

The book is divided into 17 sections, 1-2 weeks each, depending on the pace of the learner. 

SWIM Level One, “The First Date” focuses on first interactions, obtaining goods and services, and self-identity. You’ll get to know covergirl monster Blanca as she goes to the restaurant, negotiates for goods and services, greets others, asks for directions and tries online dating. In the culminating section Blanca meets her long-lost extended family, learns to express herself and explores personal and professional goals.

An ideal language guide for beginner to lower intermediate learners, this practical book emphasizes the development of language skills and pronunciation, while also offering extensive instruction in listening, reading, writing and grammar. If you’re looking for a review, or you need to master the basics, this is a great place to start. 

Teachers may wish to use SWIM as a main classroom text, or as a digital supplement.
The no-frills style explanations, self-checking practices, and in-app glossary make it ideal for 'sub' days.

Appropriate for ages 12 to adult, the monsters are silly, upbeat, and fun for all ages.

Learning is fun. Great way to make learning fun. Useful, detailed and entertaining. I was surprised at how easy it made learning the basics of another language.

Spanish With Monsters. Spanish With Monsters, by Kelly McLarnan, is without question, the most practical and useful educational work I have ever possessed. The mountain of effective processes contained in this text, I can declare that it is practically miles ahead of Duolingo, Rosetta Stone and any other excellent tool I’ve seen for self-study! Why learn to endure mind numbing rote work when the results of such is more effectively structured without boredom in Monsters? As a retired expat with limited time left on the globe, give me usable and immediate learning in real-life situations; daily conversations that real people use! The voice text enunciation is beyond helpful, ensuring that I learn proper sounds so that Latin people who must hear me understand what I say with clarity, minimizing their hilarious laughter and misunderstanding me. Practical explanations, audio, and enabling text to speech have made me more confident in speaking. As a combination of a traditional text with cutting-edge app capabilities, you really hold a Maserati in your hand at the price of a used bicycle. The glossary is phrasal, so typical questions that are often incorrectly translated are available with explanations and applications for when and how to best employ them in speech. If you need to go to the restaurant and order, give instructions, talk about family ask for directions, or negotiate an appointment or a time-- these everyday beginner situations are at your fingertips. No matter your history with learning, the huge value and the tiny price of Spanish With Monsters puts anyone in the driver’s seat of your own education! As a matter of fact, buy it for yourself and buy another copy for a poor kid somewhere in the world!

Best Spanish Textbook Yet!. I’ve been a Spanish teacher for nearly 15 years and this is my favorite text book yet. It’s accessible, but gives complete explanations of important grammatical structures. It focuses on the most important and likely situations a second-language learner would find themselves in, making it practical. The quizzes and audio guide the way! Useful at any level of language learning.

Easy as abc. I love this book. As a linguist, I am very critical of how a language is taught. This book was so easy to follow and to use. My husband, who speaks no Spanish, and I both found it helpful and well organized. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to learn Spanish.

Highly Effective & Fun!. This book has really helped me improve my Spanish! I’m a beginner and the format of the book and the exercises are really user friendly. I’m learning practical Spanish that I find myself using the very next day (I moved to a Spanish speaking country). I’m very happy with my purchase and highly recommend the book!

Awesome!. Great book for the kiddos! Learning should be interesting & fun and this book does just that!

Where has this book been all my life?. I have been struggling for years with my, on again off again, Spanish lessons. Then three years ago I started to work in Cuba and returned to my lessons with a private tutor. Time to get serious. Then this book “Spanish with Monsters” comes out. I don’t care how old you are this book is FUN! Just like in the movie “ Mary Poppins” says “a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down”. This books makes learning loads of fun. Thank you so much Kelly for this brilliant book.

Spanish With Monsters. Spanish with Monsters is the only Spanish learning book I actually enjoyed learning from. The others that I have used to learn Spanish were, well, too much like textbooks and I lost interest quickly. Spanish With Monsters kept me interested throughout, with its audio portions and the video interactions. The monsters made learning very enjoyable, which seems to me an easier way to learn anything. I grew up speaking Spanish but never learned grammar and verb conjugation. Now that I'm older, I really wanted to raise the level of my Spanish. Spanish With Monsters made all that fun and the way information is presented in the book, it wasn't as hard to learn and kept my interest. My confidence in speaking Spanish has increased tenfold.

Learn Spanish the Easy Way!. Spanish with Monsters is a great way to learn Spanish! It is fun, simple, and interactive! The quizzes and practices really cement what you have learned. The audio files help to ensure your pronunciation is correct. I especially appreciated the content, which is very useful in everyday life while living or even just visiting a Spanish speaking country. The information is presented in a way that makes it easy to recall when needed.

Fun and interactive!. Spanish with Monsters is a great way to learn Spanish whether you are an expat, a traveller or just someone interested in the language. It moves in a logical, practical fashion. The grammar is all there but it is learned in a fun way with monsters and real situations you will encounter when travelling. I love the interactive ability to check your pronunciation and answers to the quizzes. Highly recommend this book.

Fun and effective way to learn Spanish. I really enjoyed learning with this beautiful iBook. Each topic is presented in a common situation that is relevant to life as an expat. While the book is filled with interactive features, you can use it like a traditional paper book jumping to the relevant chapter at any time. There are many exercises, crosswords and quizzes to challenge you with complete answer keys. The wonderful conversations and whimsical animations keep you smiling when suddenly you realize, you've learned a lot of Spanish.

Fun and Interactive. Spanish with Monsters is a fun and interactive way to learn the basics of Spanish. I used Duolingo for months but it was Spanish with Monsters that helped me understand useful phrases, grammar and tense structure. This is also a great refresher resource that can be used again and again.
