Short Stories in Spanish for Beginners: Read for pleasure at your level, expand your vocabulary and learn Spanish the fun way! (Foreign Language Graded Reader Series)

Product Information

A fun, exciting and natural way to immerse yourself in Spanish every single day and improve your skills fast. Controlled language at your level, including the most frequent words, to help you progress confidently The only small issue is that there were a handful of typos/errors. For example, in one scene of a story, a character called Elvira is referred to as Sofia by another character, but such errors are rare and don't impact on being able to understand and enjoy the stories. Stories are broken down into manageable chapters, so you make progress with the story and feel a sense of achievement. Realistic amounts of new vocabulary are introduced so that you’re not deterred by complex words. Instead of pausing to look up every word, you’ll absorb new vocabulary from the context of the story, and have the satisfaction of that moment when you say: “I totally understood that sentence!”

It is a great book to learn Spanish language, it contains several stories each story divided in 3 chapters to make it easy to understand it. Also at the end of each chapter there is a summary to see if you understood the overall idea of the chapter (the main idea of this chapter of the story 💡). In addition, the chapter contains a list of few vocabulary that could help you understand what those Spanish words mean in English. Saying that I need to mention an important matter you need to have a good base of Spanish vocabularies to start with this book. In my situation I have started learning Spanish language using app called duolingo for more than a year now, it has helped me a lot in understanding most of the stories in this book. To be frank I still used translator to translate some words even though the majority of these words I learned before but still not everything you can remember until you practice it in a daily base.

Carefully curated to make learning a new language easy, these stories include key features that will support and consolidate your progress, including: Leyendo este libro me ha ayudado mucho con desarrollando mi vocabulario. Las historias son suficientemente interesantes para quedar leyendo. Probablemente no recomendaría por un principiante completo pero despues pocas semanas de aprender las conjugaciones y la gramatica basicas del español este libro es perfecto. Lo unico malo que puedo decir sobre este libro es que usa las conjugaciones de vosotros a veces que es mas enfocado en la dialecta de españa. Estoy tratando de adquirir la dialecta columbiana y el dialecto Puertorriqueno pero no quejare. Definitivamente conseguire la version frances de este libro cuando empiezo a aprender Frances en pocos años. But if you haven't learned with a story-based method before, you might be wondering, “Well okay, you're going to give me a chapter of a story every day, but what exactly do I do with it? How do I learn from that?” All of my courses and books teach languages through a concept that I call StoryLearning®… and this podcast is no different!

Then you are going to hear a repetition of the story so you get a chance to listen to it again without having to rewind

Short Stories in Spanish for Beginners has been written especially for students from beginner to intermediate level, designed to give a sense of achievement, and most importantly - enjoyment! Mapped to A2-B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference, these eight captivating stories will both entertain you, and give you a feeling of progress when reading. NB - There is an audio of the book available separately. I use it to listen and read along. It builds listening skills and helps me know how the words are pronounced. But most of my time I'm reading only, as I can focus better that way. The narrator speaks Iberian Spanish and goes slower than normal speech would. Each episode features one short chapter of our story and we release one new episode every single day. The La criatura story made me laugh but I did think her family were mean to have pulled that kind of prank on her! And La Paella Loca definitely relied on a few heavy coincidences. Authentic spoken dialogues, to help you learn conversational expressions and improve your speaking ability
