This book is a nineteenth century dictionary providing translations between Spanish and Bisayan. It serves as a reference for vocabulary used during that era. The entries are organized alphabetically by Spanish terms, followed by their corresponding Bisayan equivalents. Because it is a dictionary, it lacks complex narrative sentences, making it a straightforward resource for vocabulary building. It is useful for understanding historical linguistic connections, though the specific regional terminology may be challenging for those focused solely on modern standard Spanish.

Questions about this book

What level of Spanish do I need for this book?

The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.

How long does it take to read?

About 26 h 33 min at a native pace, spread over 210 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
