Learning Spanish With Roberto's Frases Doradas - Robert's Golden Sayings
By Kathy Ward
This is one of the most fun and interesting ways to learn Español. I gave the students in the Elder's Spanish class Frases Doradas and Robert Golden Sayings. Some have the book in English, some in Spanish. I asked them to choose a page randomly and choose a 'short' saying, one of the elders reads it to the class and then as a group and using the dictionaries we translate the saying. Of course, they want more, so we stop and talk about 'what Robert is saying' ...
Piensa con el corazón
Ve con el corazón
Eschucha con el corazón
Siente con el corazón
Actúa con el corazón
Habla con el corazón
Por que el amor es la capacidad humana más alta, fuerte y duradera.
... so Gertrude said... this is what is also called 'to be a human and act like a human'
Luis reading Robert Golden Sayings in English for the group to translate the saying from English into Spanish.
Gertrudis reading in Spanish and the group is now working with the dictionaries and translating into English.
In every class we are going to invest the first 20 minutes translating Robert's Golden Sayings... I just love to hear their comments and see their eyes as they brain process Robert's words, and then ... here it comes... their comments they too possess golden sayings.
Peace be with you!
