Steps To Summarize in Spanish

.1. Find the Main Idea – Encuentra la idea principal

A good summary distills the source material down to its most important point to inform the reader. Cover the main points and focus on the key ideas and big picture rather than the details.

2. Keep It Brief – Que sea breve

A summary is a brief summation of the original text, video, audiobook, and the like. A summary paragraph runs anywhere from 4 to 8 sentences. 

Keep it short and stick to the point. This eliminates redundancy and repetition and keeps your summary in Spanish clear and concise.

3. Let Your Writing Flow – Deja que tu escritura fluya 

Transitions help build momentum in your writing and keep it flowing. Connect your sentences with transition words to ensure they flow together into a clear summary.

Examples of transition words:

• additionally – además

• however – sin embargo

• finally – finalmente

• then-entonces

• in the first place-en primer lugar

• first- primero

Use these words to write your clear, concise summaries in Spanish!
