Leer y leer más
You acquire language by listening and reading. Here's another source of good things to read:

Choose your language, choose a book, read! I enjoyed Apalka, by Ernesto Cardenal, one of Nicaragua's most famous poets, after Rubén Darío. This is a beautifully written and illustrated children's book. Try it, or any other. Everything you read helps your language acquisition.

El día de los Reyes Magos
Hoy es
el último día de la celebración de la Navidad. Es un día festivo en los
países hispanos. Conmemora la llegada de los Reyes Magos (the Magi,
Three Kings) a
Belén para adorar al nuevo rey, el niño Jesús. Así que en muchísimas
casas del mundo hispano, anoche los niños colocaron los zapatos fuera de la
casa, llenos de paja para los camellos. En la noche, los Reyes llegaron y
dejaron regalos para los niños. Hoy día toda la familia celebra el fin de
las Navidades. Comen un “roscón de
reyes,” un pastel especial. En muchas ciudades hay desfiles y fiestas. En inglés
se llama este día “twelfth night.”
