WELCOME / BIENVENIDOS

Welcome to the Companion Website (Plataforma Digital) of the book Mundos en palabras: Learning Advanced Spanish through Translation.

Mundos en palabras offers advanced students of Spanish a challenging yet practical course in translation from English into Spanish. It provides students with a well-structured, step-by-step guide to Spanish translation which will enhance and refine their language skills while introducing them to some of the key concepts and debates in translation theory and practice.

Each chapter presents a rich variety of practical tasks, supported by concise, focused discussion of key points relating to a particular translation issue or text type. Shorter targeted activities are combined with lengthier translation practice. Throughout the book and this companion website, learners will find a wealth of material from a range of genres and text types, including literary, expository, persuasive and audiovisual texts.
