Learning Words

Question

I want to learn more words in Spanish.

Do you know any comics like Mafalda? For beginners? Or books for kids? How can I learn words easily?

Thanks for the help!

Caperucita Roja adapted by Ana Lomba comes with a disc. Go for the easy children's stories first and once you feel more confident progress to something more difficult. - 00a50c57, Nov 1, 2012

I have found bilingual readers such as: Los Tres Cerditos, The three Little Pigs; Rapunzel; Caperucita Roja, Little Red Ridinghood - very useful. It is even better when the book comes with a disc. - 00a50c57, Nov 1, 2012

Answer 1

I know that what help the most at the begining was learning cognated words (similar words in English and Spanish), because those words I already knew.

Here is a list

If you do this, you'll need to learn some false friends, that are words similar in writing, but with different meanings.

About the comics, I recomend you to read "Condorito",a Chilean comic strip.

Another really great comic is "Mampato", that tells the adventures of a boy (Mampato) who was given a space-time machine by an extraterrestrial, and his friends "Ogú" (a caveman) and "Rena" (a telepath from the 40th century).

I know there are new editions. It shouldn't be impossible to find them online.

Answer 2

One comic book series that I believe is still in print is called "Memín Pinguín " and you can even get copies from many years ago. I used to read them all the time when I was a kid living in Mexico City and each week there was a new publication. Of course the language is not difficult, so this would be very helpful for beginners.
