+[00:02] (??) The reading lessons for Spanish 1 are all contained in this cassette or CD, and the accompanying reading booklet. You may do the reading lessons along with the course units, perhaps one reading after every other unit, or you may do them entirely at the end. You may repeat these reading lessons as often as you wish. To begin, get out your reading booklet. If you don't have it at hand, stop now and start again when you're ready.
+[00:28] (??) Open your reading booklet to Reading Lesson 1. Look at the first word. Listen to the Spanish speaker pronounce it: "Poco." He'll say it again. You read it aloud after him: "Poco."
+[00:43] (??) Now listen to word 2, then read it aloud: "Amigo."
+[00:49] (??) There is a strong tendency, when reading aloud, to say the words with an American accent, as if you were reading English instead of Spanish. You'll have to watch yourself constantly to avoid this. The Spanish speaker will now read words 1 and 2 again. Repeat after him, trying to match his pronunciation:
+[01:09] (??) "Poco."
+[01:12] (??) "Amigo."
+           … (pause 2.5s) …
+[01:15] (??) Now try word 3. Always read aloud:
+[01:20] (??) "Camino."
+[01:22] (??) Read word 3 again. Watch the accent, which is usually on the next-to-last syllable:
+           … (pause 2.6s) …
+[01:30] (??) "Camino."
+           … (pause 2.5s) …
+[01:33] (??) Read word 4:
+           … (pause 2.9s) …
+[01:37] (??) "Pronto."
+           … (pause 2.6s) …
+[01:40] (??) Look at word 5 and listen:
+[01:43] (??) "Calle." Now look at word 5 again, and repeat it after the speaker. Notice the sound of the double L, which is like Y:
+[01:53] (??) "Calle."
+           … (pause 2.6s) …
+[01:56] (??) Read word 6:
+           … (pause 2.8s) …
+[02:00] (??) "Llegó."
+           … (pause 2.7s) …
+[02:03] (??) 7:
+           … (pause 3.1s) …
+[02:06] (??) "Semana."
+           … (pause 2.7s) …
+[02:09] (??) 8:
+           … (pause 2.6s) …
+[02:12] (??) "Lleno."
+           … (pause 2.5s) …
+[02:15] (??) 9:
+           … (pause 2.8s) …
+[02:18] (??) "Llamó."
+           … (pause 2.6s) …
+[02:21] (??) 10:
+           … (pause 2.9s) …
+[02:25] (??) "Moreno."
+           … (pause 2.8s) …
+[02:28] (??) 11:
+[02:31] (??) "Bello."
+[02:33] (??) "Bello."
+[02:36] (??) Try number 12. Notice that each vowel sound indicates a separate syllable:
+           … (pause 3.1s) …
+[02:44] (??) "Clase."
+           … (pause 2.9s) …
+[02:47] (??) "Clase."
+           … (pause 3.1s) …
+[02:51] (??) 13:
+           … (pause 3.1s) …
+[02:54] (??) "En la clase."
+           … (pause 3.2s) …
+[02:58] (??) 14:
+           … (pause 2.8s) …
+[03:02] (??) "Tenemos."
+           … (pause 2.8s) …
+[03:05] (??) Now try number 15. It's a word that you've learned:
+[03:11] (??) "Hablo."
+[03:13] (??) Notice that the H is completely silent. You read the word just as if the H weren't there. Read word 16:
+           … (pause 3.1s) …
+[03:23] (??) "Hasta."
+           … (pause 2.7s) …
+[03:26] (??) 17:
+[03:29] (??) "Hora."
+[03:32] (??) 18:
+           … (pause 2.8s) …
+[03:35] (??) "Llama."
+[03:38] (??) 19:
+           … (pause 4.1s) …
+[03:42] (??) "¿Cómo se llama usted?"
+           … (pause 4.1s) …
+[03:48] (??) 20:
+           … (pause 5.0s) …
+[03:53] (??) "Hablo un poco de castellano."
+           … (pause 4.9s) …
+[04:00] (??) This is the end of Reading Lesson 1.
