AUTO INGLSiM lo conduce de un nivel inicial a un nivel avanzado en solamente quince lecciones. La adquisicin de un lenguaje se asemeja a un camino que nunca debe terminar, como no debe terminar nuestra bsqueda de mayores conocimientos.

comprensin, para que Ud. pueda verificar que ha entendido cada leccin.

Es vital que Ud. comprenda que debe avanzar y retrocede .entre los tres ruveles de lecciones, a saber; Incal l-; Intermedio 6-10; Avanzado 1-15. Cada vez que vuelva a participar en las lecciones va a sacarles algo nuevo. Debe utilizar el curso por unos tres meses de uso intensivo para po der IIevar S,U ren,d ,'" t 0, o aprovec -" - muen narmen toal rnx o ,:" maximo,
Luego, cuando pasen otros tres meses, regrese al curso por otro mes ms y ver lo mucho que aprendi y que algo ms le puede sacar al curso todava con un buen repaso.

Entonces, deje que otros miembros de la familia se valgan de su '"'d bI mversion para que tamb'" e 11 puecdan mei """, "len "os " an, mejorar consic era, emente su ingls.
'" lO /'

Aunque es cierto que Ud. no tiene un maestro en persona AUTO INGLES le ofrece varias ventajas sobre el maestro en una escuela, Ud. puede: 1,. estudiar a su propio ritmo . . 2. estudiar cuando quiera o pueda. 3. repetir las palabras, frases y oraciones cuantas veces quiera. 4. regresar a las explicaciones que han sido grabadas. 5. constatar lo que le dice el Tutor leyndolo a la vez en el libro.
,

Y' 'Ud. no tiene, que: 1~,:.c,' e, crbr n ha' "er, ee '. "10S El e uro'so es,,'; "tal' lmente a_u'd.. s : tvo -' "C', "'l,r'CIC" "'. ',',' :..' to- ~' ,',:", Solamente cuando Ud. desee tomar alguna nota por su cuenta lo va a poder hacer llevando una libreta donde anotar y repasar, 2. tomar exmenes para saber si debe seguir adelante. Ud. mismo va a regresar al principio del curso cuando llegue al final para seguir reptiendo y aprendiendo las cosas que en un principio le parecieron, muy dcles, pero que con el paso tiempo, y con el repaso van cayendo en su lugar, en este rompecabezas de iniciarse en una nueva lengua,
I,',

que la utilidad del curso se basa en q e por el precio de su costo Ud. tiene en su automvi t autobs, tren, casa o trabajo horas de plticas entre dos nativos norteamericanos que le hablan sin cansar para que Ud. d ,ograr Ia pro,nuncla,cion c,orrec ta y un Tu'tor blnat que tam-IPOC'Q se p'ue' ,a 1,,' . : lIngue _.'cansa de explicarle las construcciones y significados que son clave para su ~ tot al comprensin.
!I' "

o sea,

La adqu scin de una nueva lengua cuando uno es ad. to tiene sus partes amenas ,Y sus partes trabajosas. Los dilogos humorsticos son la parte amena, pero para poder entender y aprovechar los dilogos tenemos que prepararnos ensayan. d o Ias. frases que vamos a OIr y 1 .uego repetir en ingls. Y esto solamente lo podemos hacer yendo una por una sobre cada frase o cada palabra bajo estudio hasta que sepamos pronunciarla bien y sepamos su significado.

Es por eso que antes de disfrutar de cada dilogo Ud. deber estudiar Ia gramaI't que sirve d e armazon al dl ago. P or suerte, su est'u di"o tea ,,',~, ". ."1. ..

SECUENCIA ES,P'IRAL DE LA ,E'NS,EANZA El vocabulario y las estructuras verbales y gramaticales que se . .. presentan antes d ei dl ogo se' van, a va Iver a ver en I Iecciones r I r I: .. as sguentes. O sea, que vocablo que aprenda en la leccin 1 le va a, servir en la leccin 2 o en la leccin 3. Lo mismo con os verbos. Una vez que sepa conjugar el verbo to be, que sgnfica ser o estar, lo usar, como verbo auxiliar o como gerundio ms adelante. Y cuando sepa usar el verbo to have, que quiere decir haber o tener, enseguida lo usar como verbo auxiliar para decir he sido y he tenido en ingls, o sea, que enseguida se refuerza lo aprendido de forma que se fije en a mente y no se olvide.
1

Lo ltimo que Ud. necesita despus de largas horas de trabajo es estudiar algo que se le va a olvidar o que no es necesario. Po eso, el vocabulario, los verbos y las estructuras gramaticales son de uso frecuente y se aplica una y otra vez para garantizarle que "puede meter en el banco" todo conocimiento adquirido pues no lo va a perder ni a d '.. d e,sper,. lCIar.. Siguiendo el patrn extremadamene prctico del curso, se le recomienda que aprenda a decir lo antes posib _eI want = yo quiero o . need == yo necesito.

'Otro aspecto prctico es el verbo to get = obtener, que se usa muchsimo en .. es mg I.? y en maneras que no nos PO,'dternos imaginar 1 a hit.spano_~Oq _ hablantes.
,, ,

Get-- aoma ~ D' e an dai e. camina.nxi amono s. (1' t -al - o', en. go --g i .nue, ~-" -, camama, v " n.en -:es bt ~

andamdo)

Do you get it? '~Te diste cuenta? (Iteralmente I got it. = Lo entiendo. (literalmente Lo tengo~)

Lo obtuoister)

Get, in. = Entra. (in quiere decir en. o dentro.) Get, up. - Levntate. (up es para arriba o hacia arriba o arriba.) Get out. = Salte .. (out quiere decir para afuera o hacia afuera o afuera) ~h t bbai bo G- t' d ,e 'O'WR,. == A ,gaca_e. (d:own es para a:aJo o haci ' '-c~a a; aJo o aaJo~ )" Get down there. =: Dale para a o aU,. (there es aU o all.)
t

Persona que domine los 'verbos 'to be, to have y to get tiene, la pelea semiganada. Y si a esto agregamos el verbo to go, = ir con su, gerundio g'oing ya podemos hablar en futuro.
I go :::: o voy o voy. Y I aIR going' = Estoy y,endo o voy a ir. I am going to go :::Voy a ir. (futuro) I am going to run. = 'Voy a correr o me voy a postular. (futuro)
y regresando a to get, ahora en gerundio, getting.

How are you getting there?' == Cmo vas t a llegar hasta alli?

El que sepa to be, to have, to, get, to go y el uso' de los gerundios, ya tiene tres cuartas partes de la batalla ganada. Y' si sabe pedir cosas, d ('I hacer preguntas y hacer transacciones, p .es ya pue re ver ei tector 1 Ia utilidad que conlleva un curso diseado en espiral, donde todo se cicla y se recicla 'y los conocimientos aumentan como cuando nos queremos estacionar en el piso ms alto, de 'un garaje y vamos subiendo de nivel, progresivamente, gracias, a las rampas de acceso. Esto es lo que le garantiza dr ' ,.. d t es.e curso, que SIempre t,en,'r'a U-d una ramp,a :p,ar,aseguIr su.bilen-o o' para regresar a,'un nivel inferior donde pueda repasar los conocimientos que dej "aparcados" en ese nivel. Otro ejemplo del mtodo espiral es el aprendzaie de los nmeros, A,medida que avanzan las lecciones se van. introduciendo los nmeros en orden ascendente, de 'manera que no' es necesario aprenderlos de memoria, por el contrario, se aprenden en elcontexto de tu tc sezud una SI:.uacion co tidl ,-"lana, y, acto segun ,.0" ae repasan 'y re fu uerzan en ,ecciones ulteriores.

20 SUGERENCIAS PARA APRENDER INGLS

Lleve consigo una libretita donde anotar dudas. Todos conocemos personas que hablan ingls y espaol. Use a esas personas como tutores gratuitos. Lo ms importante a la hora de aprender no es saber la respuesta sino qu preguntas hacer. 2. Tenga a mano siempre un dcconaro bilinge de bolsillo. Cada vez que tenga un momento libre busque esa palabra que hace das est pensando buscar. 3. Tenga en casa un diccionario bilinge mayor al lado de la cama, otro en la sala, y otro en la cocina, O sea, un diccionario blnge siempre cerca de Ud. para que la pereza no le gane y pueda hacer sus consultas al momento .. 4. enga en casa un diccionario solo en ingls, el ms caro y mejor ilustrado que su presupuesto le permta, 5. Establezca trato con personas que solamente hab en ingls. Intente comunicarse con seas, sonrisas, gestos, recuerde que los turistas siempre se comunican con los tenderos, porque hay una transaccin de beneficio mutuo entre los dos. Todos queremos tener amigos y con la amistad viene el ingls. 6, Compre revistas de cmics. La relacin entre el idioma coloquial y los dibujos resulta un excelente medio para entender los dilogos y para conocer la cultura y los dichos de la vida diaria. 7. Sin onice estaciones de televisin en ingls y, si su televisor lo permite, ponga los subttulos en espaol y, otras veces, en ingls. Es bueno leer en ingls lo que se est diciendo, pero cuando el dilogo es muy difcil entonces es mejor tenerlo en espaol. 8. Compre CDs de canciones en ingls, o vaya a la biblioteca pblica donde os prestan. La msica es una manera excelente de aprender idiomas porque se nos fijan las cosas con ms facilidad. Asegrese de tener la letra de las canciones para que las pueda seguir siempre con sus diccionarios cerca. Escriba la letra de sus canciones favoritas en su Cane' onero particular y aprenda a cantar esas canciones. El Internet es una buena fuente, 9. Posea una Biblia en ingls y otra en espaol. Como los libros y los versculos estn numerados, le va a resultar fci hallar lo mismo en el otro idioma para comparar y aprender. La cultura occidental se basa en la Biblia y tanto el ingls como el espaol tienen mltiples dichos que provienen de hechos bblicos. l. 7

f O, Asista a la iglesia en ingls. Los sermones hablan sobre ternas

religiosos conocidos y de la vida diaria, El ministro habla pausadamente y con sus gestos ayuda a que Ud. capte el 'contexto. 1,1., Y hablando de iglesias, muchas tienen clases de ingls gratuitas.

LA e AL FINAL DE UNA PALABRA ES ,SIL,E,N'~:,E sale (venta) :::: il to take (llevar) ;;;;tu tik to have (tener o haber) s tujaf
O'TRAS CONSIDERAC:ONES ,IMPORTANTES A excepcin de que la e final no se pronuncia es muy importante siempre pronunciar el final de las palabras y no "comerse" ninguna parte de .a palabra o NO lo van a entender, -pues muchas palabras dependen de sonido fmal para poder obtener su significado correcto: craze (locura a lo que est de moda) ;;;;; eris pero crazy (loco) --:crisi. (..:= Z fuerte inglesa) CASI TODA PALABRA CON MS DE UNA SLABA ES LLANA Casi siempre, palabra nueva con que Ud. se tropiece NO llevar el nfasis como en espaol, donde casi todas las palabras son agudas: mtor (ingls) motor (espaol) mindful (cuidadoso) no mindful.

LA ENTONACIN SE ADQUIERE-NO SE APRENDE Otro punto importante es la entonacin de la frase y para ello, de nuevo, la repeticin de la grabacin le dar la pauta. Los nios, a diferencia de los adultos, se divierten repitiendo frases. Ud. tiene que. acer el esfuerzo de repetir para fijarse los patrones de entonacin ingleses. Es muy posible que Ud. pronuncie todas las palabras bien, pero si su entonacin no le "suena" familiar a su interlocutor, ste le va a decir que no lo enti ende.

Oh serve que en mg ~l " se uttiza e 1'" " tI es mismo a dieti ljetvo posesivo para acompaar un sustantivo singular o plural, y que a dif rencia del espaol no se distingue en' re femenino y masculino. Por ejemplo: Mi. hijo Juega bisbol. My son plays baseball. Mis amigas quieren jugar tenis . . I friends want 'to play tennis. M En ingls los pronombres reflexivos son: myself, yourself, himself, herself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves. Escuche cada uno de los pronombres reflexivos en ingls y despus trate de repetir cada uno de ellos durante la pausa.
me - royse f [pause] Repeat. myself [pause] te - yourself [pause] Repeat yourself [pause] (l) se ~ hmse f [pause] Repeat. himself [pause] (ella) se - herself [pause] Repeat. herself [pause] nos - ourselves pause] Repeat. ourselves [pause] (eUoslellas) se - themselves

Note que la forma d . expresar las acciones reflexivas en espaol no siempre coincide con la forma d' expresarlas e. ingls. Por ejemplo: Me lava los dientes. I brush my teeth. Me peino. I comb my hair. O sea que se dice en ngl s qu: "me cepillo (no lavo) mis dientes (no, los dientes)." Pero en ciertos casos el reflexivo en ingls funciona como en espaol. Por ejemplo: Yo me lavo. I wash myself. l se lesion. He hurt himself. En otros casos el pronombre reflexivo en ingls se utlza para aadir nfasis, por ejemplo: Lo hice yo mismo, I did it myself. Section II.

La terminacin -Iy ,= miente: probably prbabli - probablemente. 2!1 La e final es silente: to have tu jaf == tener o haber, tas nicas veces en ,qu:e suena es doblando la e: emplovee (empleado) o con acento en palabras extranjeras corno caf (el sitio no la bebida que es coffee ,kfi)t 3. La ,k inicial sequtda de consonante es silente: Iknife, n'if ~ 'CUCh,Ulo. 4, La v (nunca b) suena f a nal: knives nif = cuchillo. ,SI Palabras que terminan en sonido f forman plural con -ves, knives. 6. La Iq puede sonar como k sin necesidad de lr con la u: Iraq - Irak y en que, qui no suenan ig'ual que en espaol: queen kuln = re-na. 17.1 En gue, gUia no es necesaria la u para dar sonldo suave, a la Ig y no existe la diresis excepto en palabras extranjeras y con otros usos. Ejemplo: geiser qiser = giser. Pero a veces es, slrnllar al uso hispano. Ejempt,o: guest guest = husped. Ga" 'ge, gi, go, gu en ingls suenan ga" ~e, Xi, (sonido fuerte corno en Arqentlna) go, gu. Geo,rge (y,rch,) ,es el mejor ejemplo. Pero a veces gi suena gui, Gilbert (gulbert). La glh hace las veces de gu, spag!h,etti (como e,n italiano). 8. La h suena j pero puede ,ser silente: ham tm = jamn: honor nor. '9. Los plurales se forman aadendo -5 excepto palabras que vienen del alemn. Por ejemplo, hombres, mujeres y nios forman el plural icon la terminacin alemana -e man-men menn-menn woman-w,ome'n wmenn-wlmenn chlld-ehlldren cntta-cnttarenn. 10.
