About the © Linguistic Reanimator series


All the English and Spanish language © Linguistic Reanimator Series books can significantly reduce the training period of a foreign language course and improve the quality of learning of new words and normative grammar by a student.



Their advantage is foreign words and (sometimes) transcription in brackets next to the word in a sentence. Using this technique, a student never studied English / Spanish before, having no vocabulary, can begin translating from Russian into English / Spanish, from Spanish into English or from English into Spanish.



The technique allows you to learn new English / Spanish words and phrases easily, and quickly; improving the skills of correct translation into a foreign language.



All the © Linguistic Reanimator Series books have been written for “my dificult students”, for those who needed to obtain a large amount of high-quality knowledge in a short period of time. The latter is the aim of all the textbooks of this series.

Elves Valley


Alice (Alicia) lived (vivir) in (en) a small house (… pequeña casa) on (en) the outskirts (… afueras) of (de) the village (… pueblo).



Although (aunque) her (sus) parents (padres) worked (trabajar) in (en) the field (… campo) from morning till night (desde la mañana hasta la noche), they led (llevar) modest and poor lifes (vidas modestas y pobres).



Certainly (ciertamente), how (como ser.. posible) to get rich (hacerse ricos) under such circumstances (en tales circunstancias).



Strong hurricanes (fuerte.. huracan..) often (a menudo) happened (ocurrir) there (allí), they spoiled (estropear) and (y) destroyed (destruir) crops (los cultivos).



And one day (un día), when (cuando) father and mother (los padres) had gone (ir) to (a) work (trabajar), heavy clouds (nube.. oscuro..) brooded over the house (cubrir.. la casa),



lightning flashed (centellear.. relámpagos), a strong hail started (comenzar.. un fuerte granizo), and then (luego) the wind broke out (estallar.. el viento).



It was of such a force (ser.. de tal fuerza) that (que) it began (empezar) to (a) demolish (demoler) all the (todos los) buildings (edificio..) around (a su alrededor), to smash the boats into pieces (a convertir en astillas los barcos) at (en) the nearest marina (… muelle local).



Alice was very scared (estar muy asustado..), she climbed (subirse) onto (a) her (-) bed (la cama) and pulled cover over her head (cubrirse.. de cabeza con la manta).








That way (de esa manera) she had been sitting (sentarse) until (hasta que) she felt (sentir) that (que) the house (… casa) was got off the ground (despegarse) and carried (llevarse) in an unknown direction (en una dirección desconocida).



The girl (… niña) ran up (correr) to (a) the window (… ventana) and looked down (mirar.. hacia abajo) – they had already passed (ya sobrevolar.. a través de) her (su) native village (pueblo natal), flew across (-) a lake (… lago), mountains (montañas), some (alguna) city (ciudad).



And then (entonces) everything (todo) began (comenzar) to (a) spin (girar) and disappeared (desaparecer) before her eyes (ante sus ojos).








When (cuando) Alice woke up (despertarse), she realized (darse.. cuenta de) that (que) the house did not fly (no volar) anywhere (a ningún lado).



She got up (levantarse) and looked out of (mirar.. por) the window (… ventana).



In front of her (frente a ella) there was (haber) a sunny lawn (… césped soleado) dotted (salpicado) with (con) different flowers (diferente.. flor..).



The butterflies (… mariposa..) were flying (volar) and the birds (… pájaro..) were singing (cantar) there (allí), so (así que) the girl left (salir de) the house and went (ir) to (a) look around (mirar a su alrededor).



She walked (caminar) a little (un poco), picked flowers (recoger.. flores), twisted a wreath from them (trenzar.. una guirnalda), lay down (tumbarse) on (en) the grass (… hierba),



admiring (admirando) the azure cloudless sky (… cielo azul sin nubes), but (pero) suddenly (de repente) her eyes became round in surprise (por poco se desmayó de tal sorpresa) —



about a meter away (aproximadamente a un metro de ella) 2.some tiny creature (una criatura pequeña), similar to a girl with wings (similar a una niña con alas), 1. was hovering over her (flotar.. en el aire).



– Who are you (¿Quién ser..)? – Alice asked (preguntar).








– I’m (ser) Josephine (Josephine) from (de) the Elves Valley (del Valle de los Elfos). – said (decir) the creature with a friendly smile (con una sonrisa amistosa). – Nice to meet you (¡Encantada de conocerte)! Who are you, and where
