Here is a book I have written about the Spanish spoken in El Salvador. It contains 62 pages, a lot of vocabulary, expressions and images used on a daily basis in the Spanish of El Salvador. The whole book is in Spanish and it is arranged in themes. I decided to do this as a little project or challenge as I was learning more about this country and was really interested in the language which is very different from Castellano used in Spain. Many of my friends and family from El Salvador have helped and contributed towards this book. The illustrations in this book were drawn by a local artist who works for a national newspapers in El Salvador. Some extracts of this book could be used in lessons to compare with Castellano Spanish but it is more directed at teachers wanting to increase their knowledge of Spanish or teachers who are just curious and want to learn more about another culture. Enjoy and I hope you find it useful! If you would like to buy a printed copy, you can always contact me directly.

Here is a 9 letter word activity for tutorial. Students have to find the nine letter word and as many words with at least 2,3,4,5, letters. You can vary the difficulty depending on how good your group is. I have used in tutorial to help students with spelling. Be careful if you use this on overhead projector. The answer is the file name and will show on screen. Either change filename or rewrite letters on board. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
