Spanish Vocabulary In Context:
Un cerdito de Florida, llamado curiosamente Chris P. Bacon, nació sin movilidad en sus patas traseras lo que le dejaba pocas expectativas de vida. Pero ahora, su situación ha cambiado totalmente después de que el veterinario Len Lucero le haya construido una silla de ruedas con los juguetes K’nex de su hijo. Poco a poco, perfeccionando su invento, el cuidador del pequeño Chris P. Bacon ha logrado que las ruedas funcionen mejor.

Photo Vocabulary Objectives and Rationale:
Want to learn new Spanish words each day? Photo Vocab is a Spanish vocabulary builder that teaches Spanish vocabulary and Spanish phrases through the day’s most striking photography.
Photo Vocab is contextualized in both time and space. As you know, Spanish vocabulary doesn’t naturally exist decontextualized like we find it in most text books. Spanish words show up in Spanish phrases which show up in Spanish sentences which show up in day-to-day conversations about the real world which itself exists in the stream of time. Thus, Photo Vocab attempts to work backwards to learn the Spanish language: 1) View the real world through a photo taken today, 2) Read a paragraph about it, 3) Isolate a key expression or Spanish word. Photo Vocab will help us all to associate one new word a day with an unforgettable picture.
