Cultural Notes

Every good course can benefit from a cultural component. After all, languages are neither learned nor spoken in a vacuum. These short notes serve as your window into the people, places and customs that make the Hispanic culture so amazingly rich.

These notes also provide excellent listening practice. Listen to the short version first, several times. First, read both versions, Spanish and English. Next, listen to them as they are read aloud to you in Spanish. As you listen, first follow along on the Spanish transcript, then on the English transcript. Finally, listen again without referring to either transcript.

Don't be discouraged if you find these to be challenging. After you have worked with Camino del éxito for a couple of months, come back and try them again, and see how much your listening skills have improved!
