This approach is suitable for beginners as well as for advanced students. Teachers of the language will also find much material that can be used to help motivate their students to acquire, and retain, Spanish vocabulary. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpanish Vocabulary\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into four parts and four annexes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Part I provides background material on the origins of Spanish and begins the process of presenting Spanish vocabulary. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Part II presents \"classical\" Spanish vocabulary--words whose form (in both Spanish and English) is nearly unchanged from Latin and Greek. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Part III deals with \"popular\" Spanish vocabulary, which underwent significant changes in form (and often meaning) during the evolution from Latin to Spanish.
