Galician Shortcut: Transfer your Knowledge from English and Speak Instant Galician! [Galician]

By Irineu De Oliveira

Read this word out loud: naci n. That was Galician - the language of Santiago de Compostela, and the language Portuguese grew out of.

Galician sits between Spanish and Portuguese, and like both of them it shares its Latin backbone with English. The endings simply moved: -tion became -ci n, -ty became -dade, -ly became -mente, -ous became -oso. Learn one rule and hundreds of Galician words become readable.

Galician Shortcut is a conversion method - and one of the very few Galician courses written for English speakers at all.

Inside this book:

Chapter-by-chapter conversion rules, from -ci n to -menteWord Vaults holding around 9,000 recognisable Galician wordsA pronunciation gym in every chapter, with the stressed syllable markedTranslation drills and real sentences after every ruleNotes on where Galician parts company with Spanish and PortugueseA topic vocabulary chapter: travel, food, work, family, numbers

Who it is for: pilgrims walking the Camino, people with Galician family, Spanish or Portuguese speakers adding a third language, and linguists curious about where Portuguese began.

Put away the textbooks. Speak Galician the smart way.
