Thinking Spanish Translation is a comprehensive Spanish-English translation course for advanced students. This third edition offers learners a more focused and practical approach to developing their translation skills.

With clear explanations of key concepts and theoretical principles, the course develops students' ability to analyse source texts critically, formulate effective translation strategies, implement those strategies with precision and creativity, and evaluate translation outputs rigorously. It provides extensive practice and space for discussion, integrating real-world translation tasks with an increased emphasis on practical techniques.

- More explicit theoretical discussions and methodological clarity, with recommended further reading at the end of each chapter

- Greater variety of types of practical exercise
