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)

This is a fantastic book for Spanish learners. It's not meant for absolute beginners, but it's more suited for an A2 level, as it contains many sentences in the past tense. I was very ambitious to read this book as a complete beginner and gave up hundreds of times until I finally learned how to read in a foreign language. If you start reading a book in your target language and find it challenging, it's better to aim to read a small portion each day, like one paragraph. Write down a few words or phrases with their translations in a notebook, then read them aloud before continuing with the book.For instance, here are some from page 3:- *Vena aquí* – Come here!- *Desde la puerta* – From the door- *¿Qué quieres?* – What do you want?- *¿Lo sabes?* – Do you know it?- *Estoy preparando* – I am preparing- *Estamos aprendiendo* – We are learningBy using this method, you'll begin to enjoy reading books in any foreign language. Enjoy reading this book!

I bought this for my daughter who has just done GCSE Spanish. It is a bit easy for her but a nice starter. It has words in bold you can look up Ina glossary and quizzes at the end of chapters so you can check you are understanding it correctly!She is also enjoying the story! A great purchase

I’ve completed a beginner’s year in Spanish and want to keep progress up during the summer break. This book really helps. The stories are short, simple and amusing. I struggled at first because I wasn’t used to reading Spanish text but I’m on chapter 4 now and seem to be understanding the flow much better even though I can’t yet conjugate verbs beyond the indicative tense. Lots of useful phrases. I’m glad I bought this and am ploughing through.

The media could not be loaded. Excellent for learning Spanish definitely recommended

I was really pleased I could understand the first story with Duolingo background and a few Spanish lessons! The stories do get harder and I needed to look up quite a lot to understand the second one. Good stories though which make you want to understand fully what’s going on. Would recommend.

Superb book! I've been studying Spanish for over a year, and I felt like I was lacking the use of it. These short stories are super convenient and easy to read, and I'm retelling myself these stories after reading them, to improve my grasp of language. And I've introduced this book to my teacher, and we are now discussing these stories during our lessons :) Can't recommend enough!

I bought this book as I had been teaching myself Spanish for the last 7 weeks. Ya se mucho espanol. nesitito leer los Libros de me ayundo. Although this is early days, Estoy aprendiendo rapidemente. My aim is to speak fluent en diez mes. This book is really helping me and I have only read the first 30 pages. I have now bought two further books from Olly Richards as I am so impressed

Great little book. Helpful
