The Spanish Day of the Dead Mini Dictionary

A practical Spanish mini dictionary for Día de Muertos.

Every year, at the beginning of November, millions of families in Mexico fill their homes with flowers, candles and photographs to welcome back the people they love and miss. This resource collects more than 80 words and expressions of el Día de Muertos, each with a real example sentence: the altar at home, the marigolds, the sugar skulls, the food and the stories families tell. At the end you'll find activities to check what you remember, and all the answers. It is a celebration, not a scary story. Spanish speakers talk about death with warmth and with humour, and learning how they do it teaches you a lot about the language.
