If you are looking at acquiring a higher level in a foreign/second language and or if you want your students to score highly in a test this is a great source to increase their language performance in a higher level.A latinismo is a word from Latin used in another language (Spanish, English, French...) It seems that these words are old and not use in today's language but if you take a closer look into modern languages you'll find them all over the place de facto.
Among other things we don't want our students to miss how to write a latinismo. The rule is pretty straight, they must be written in italic (cursiva)
Along with this post I've prepared a few documents to help our students internalize and acquire these terms, you are more than welcome to use them and also remember that possibilities are endless and the best you can do for your students is adapting your materials to their needs. Make your class special personalizing your resources.
