Preface
On August 31, 1837 Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered an oration at Cambridge,
Massachusetts that is called "The American Scholar." The compilers of this series of language
books feel that that oration is their preface for the series.
In that oration he both foresaw and touched upon the details of the beginning of a unique
and dynamic "new" way of learning that would emanate from unique dynamics of the American
Way of Life. Both inspired by his insights and trying to live up to those characteristics which he
intimated were the standards of this "new" American Way of Learning, the compilers of this book
have named their authorship co-operative, "The Spanish New Learning Center." Though
becoming acquainted with the entire oration introduces one to the attitudes we tried to maintain as
the book was compiled, thereby psychologically preparing one for the overall message of the
book, there is one passage in the oration which encapsulates the whole of it for us.
Ñ I learn immediately from any speaker how much he has already lived, through
the poverty or the splendor of his speech. Life lies behind us as the quarry from whence
we get tiles and copestones for the masonry of today. This is the way to learn Grammar."
(Bold letters for emphasis ours.)

INTRODUCTION
The goal of this book is to set the guidelines within which you may let your imagination
serve you most so that you may most quickly reach independence in reading, listening to and
speaking the Spanish language.
"How much does a child's imagination have to do with the speed and thoroughness with
which the child learns his native speech?"
Everything.
"If you knew precisely how the imagination of a child functions in teaching that child the
Spanish language, do you think that would help you in quickly reaching your goal of
independence in reading, listening to and speaking Spanish?"
Oh, yes.
"Why?"
Because then it would be merely a matter of retracing a series of childishly simple steps.
"We believe that this book. The Fastest Way To Learn SPANISH (Is To See It) is that
series of childishly simple steps."
The book is divided into two main parts. The first part, "The Spanish Language Tool," is
an explanation of the functioning essentials of Spanish. After you have gone through this first part
of the book and have practiced reading Spanish texts under the supervision of a trained coach for
perhaps as little time as six hours, you probably will be able to read Spanish texts with your
"Language Tool" (see page 1) well enough that you will only require the help of a coach for a
moment now and then rather than constantly. After some few more hours practice with the
Language Tool you ought to be able to read Spanish independent of all outside help.
The second part of the book is built around a chart, which shows the role a child's
imagination plays in teaching the child Spanish. This second part of the book goes carefully
through each step of this process. After going through this part of the book you may be able to
reach reading independence with the Language Tool without needing a coach.
In the third part of the book, entitled "Independence," you are shown how to read the
Spanish language independent of the Language Tool. There you will find suggestions, based upon
those steps, which give you reading independence, on how you may most quickly reach
independence in listening to and speaking Spanish as well.
