SPANISH - ENGLISH

Welcome to the SPANISH area at Project HappyChild. Thanks to the translation (and checking) help currently being provided by people across the world (all giving their time and expertise entirely free of charge) we are in the process of building a *huge* area of free translation worksheets for children and students to use, across an increasing range of languages - the 7000+ dual-language worksheets already online are linked above.

Our thanks go to a number of people involved with the original English-Spanish translation and also to Nicole Neale and Eva Bernal, and especially to Aurora, for checking of the translated content.

We're delighted to say that another block of Spanish vocabulary worksheets has recently gone on line - 1st April 2011 - for dairy products, milk, eggs, cereals, flour, rice, pastries, bread, sugars, soups, sauces, salt, pepper, seeds, oils, herbs and spices (links to all these, below left). For the remaining 120-ish Spanish~English vocabulary worksheets we are requesting help from any Spain-based Castilian-speaking language professional (or native speaker educated to degree level), to liaise with Aurora in Peru, to finalise word content.

Worksheets already on line range over themes such as: calendar, telling the time, numbers, colours, the human body [everything from the body's inner systems to hair and make-up], animals, birds and insects [including animal sounds], school, office, sports and leisure, kitchen items and utensils, shopping, and general chit-chat, All in easy-to-manage blocks, each with about 10 new words or phrases.

The Spanish verb worksheets are also linked from the huge table below - these went on line on 13th December 2009. Our thanks go to Aurora (translating) and Jim Porter (checking) who have provided the content for over 390 worksheets for Spanish verbs.

The Spanish verb worksheets can be reached from the centre and right-hand columns of the table below - the English verb names take you to the index for that verb, and the numbered columns take you to the individual tenses (column 1 is present tense, etc.).

Additional offers of translating help for further languages - see the Translators' page - would be very much appreciated.

Special thanks go to Mario Becroft in New Zealand, for all the programming work which has made this resource possible, and to David Booker in the UK, for accelerating the output of completed worksheet sets.

Each Spanish worksheet is designed to print onto a single A4 sheet [using IE4/IE5 browser setting for "medium text"], and may be used as a non-commercial education resource, free of charge, provided only that each worksheet is printed / photocopied without modification and includes the whole page as it appears on line.
[N.B. - In "My Computer - Internet Options - Advanced - Printing", de-select "print background colours and images"
so as to be able to print a clean black-on-white copy of each page with less use of your ink cartridge.]

It is recommended, when printing, to use the option "print pages 1 to 1" (rather than "print all pages") as each worksheet is designed to print onto a single sheet ["portrait", i.e. shorter side at the top] but because of the html may sometimes overlap onto a second for printing [the second (blank) sheet should not be required]. Draft quality is usually sufficient for a good copy - however use "presentation" if making originals for photocopying.
