Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to South America, Exercises in Spanish Composition These lessons are intended for students in high schools and colleges who have mastered the elements of Spanish grammar. They form a series of consecutive conversations between a young business man and a college instructor who first plan a trip to South America and then visit Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Santiago de Chile. It is hoped that in each lesson the Spanish conversation will be learned verbatim by the student before he attempts to do the exercise in composition. The English exercises are purposely kept close to the Spanish in order that the student may make as few errors as possible in Spanish constructions, the author's theory being that it is wiser to give the student the idiomatic Spanish phrase at the very outset, and not allow him the slightest opportunity to write phrases that have an English flavor. Each lesson contains in part 2 one or more irregular verbs put into short, colloquial phrases introducing as many simple, current idioms as possible. I take this opportunity to thank my colleague, Professor Francisco Zuazaga, and Mr. Guillermo Rivera of Harvard University for many valuable suggestions and corrections. I am especially indebted to Mr. Rivera who very kindly examined the manuscript before it went to press and also read the proofs. Thanks are also due to the Macmillan Co. and to Mr. Rivera once more for their kind permission to reprint the description of Rio de Janeiro in Lesson XII.
