         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>· The comics reflect easy-to-read stories, since the illustrations are accompanied by vocabulary in which the texts and dialogues are short and generally understandable.<br><br>· The vocabulary that we will learn will be a real language, since comics tend to pick up an informal language closer to that spoken on the street than to the one that we will find in general in textbooks.</strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>· Due to its frequent use and for being used within the context of a story, we will learn in a practical way phrases and expressions that are grammatically difficult to memorize or follow complex rules (such as phrasal verbs, onomatopoeia, etc.)<br><br>· Words, phrases and expressions are supported by visual elements. Learning through association with images and visual memory makes new concepts that are presented easier to learn.<br><br>· The vocabulary is presented within a specific context (temporal, spatial, narrative, etc.), so that together with visual support, learning is reinforced by taking on a tangible, logical and practical sense.<br><br>· Comics allow us to become familiar with characteristic aspects of English (or American) culture such as social conventions, type of humor, etc.<br><br>· The short texts of the dialogues of the comics facilitate the comprehension of the same and the retention of the vocabulary that we are gradually incorporating.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Look for comics appropriate to your level. If you are just starting to learn, it will probably be easier for you to read comics with lots of representative illustrations of the story and short dialogues. You can also value following comics aimed at a child or very young audience, since they will use a more limited and simple vocabulary.<br><br> If you follow fantasy comics, science fiction, etc. keep in mind that terms may appear whose use is not very common since it will be specific to the type of context in which the story takes place or even the licenses that the author takes to enrich the story. For example, the word "kryptonite" ("kryptonite"), which is the element to which Superman is vulnerable, is not a term commonly used in English (not in Spanish).</div>]]></description>
