Dual language books
 
Anyone know where I can buy dual language books? I borrowed someones 'Perfect Storm' - one side English the other Spanish it was just what I needed but the only other ones I can find are childrens books.

Have you looked in Amazon. I have a couple of dual language that I bought from them but they are just very short stories. Another way to do it is to see if you can buy a Spanish version of one of your existing English books and work with them side by side.

Thanks all. I bought a couple of books from Amazon they were short stories and not all that great. I will have to try your idea of buying an English book alongside the same Spanish book and see how they change in translations.
Thanks for feedback :thumbup:
