¿Ahorita?

Description

The Mexican concept of "Ahorita" time takes foreigners some getting used to! Wyatt is an American living in the central Mexican city of San Miguel de Allende where he is learning Spanish. He meets his new Mexican friend, Paco, at a conversation group at the public library. Wyatt is serious about learning Spanish, and...let's just say that Paco is a bit more carefree! It's time for their gathering at the library, but...where's Paco? He has just a few small errands to take care of, and he promises Wyatt he'll be there...Ahorita! Wyatt learns, with a great deal of confusion, that "Ahorita" cannot be taken literally!

This novelita follows Paco on his ATV through the streets of San Miguel de Allende, and makes a perfect supplement for a "Places Around Town" unit! It also provides abundant exposure to time-telling. A bilingual glossary of cultural references is also provided for further learning opportunities. For learners who are drawn to imagery, it strikes a visually appealing balance between pictures and word count per page. Ahorita is written at a novice level, focusing on repetition of high-frequency structures and common “Mexicanisms”. Click here to purchase.
