Jane Cronin is a teacher and communicator based in the Alicante province of Spain. She has many years experience of introducing the language and culture of Spain to the English speaking community via television, radio, presentations and courses.
Jane’s website www.janecronin.eu contains a treasure trove of free articles, video tutorials and advice as well as a substantial list of e-books and audio downloads useful to both serious students and those with a general interest. Also available in both physical and electronic form is the bilingual book “Sid’s Adventures in Spain”. This is the light-hearted story about the experiences of a Yorkshireman who takes up residence on the Costa Blanca whose pages are set out as parallel texts with English and Spanish on facing pages.
Also available via www.janecronin.eu is a personalized internet course based on the “Step by Step Spanish” volumes and a Step by Step Listening course aimed at improving students’ ability to tune into and understand spoken Spanish.
Here is just one of many messages of appreciation by Jane for her Step by Step series of articles:
Dear Jane,
I felt I should drop you a line congratulating you on your excellent "Step by Step Spanish" books and associated materials. They are an absolute must for anyone who wishes to improve their Spanish quickly without the "grammar water torture". Your approach of choosing useful short phrases/structures and then building the students grasp of the language from that base is refreshing and (in my case) highly successful. I will recommend you to all my friends and family.
Best Regards
Dave
