Suggested Use
There are multiple ways to use ProSpanish Pyramids, and you'll likely find your own preferred approach. Here's a tried-and-tested sequence to get you started:
Play the full sentence at the pyramid's base a few times without using the text toggle function. You should expect NOT to fully comprehend it, but see if you can 'catch' some elements. If you find it too easy, consider switching to a different pyramid.
After this initial phase, start at the top of the Pyramid. Play the fragment a few times and then toggle on the Spanish text (and English, if needed) to check your understanding.
Work your way down the Pyramid, repeating the above for each fragment. If possible, vocalize the sentences as you go. You may need to go from top to bottom a few times before the base sentence becomes easy to understand.
Once you can understand each part of the Pyramid without needing the text, try writing down the base sentence and saying it aloud before checking your accuracy.
