Simultaneously listened to and read this book for 30hours in February. Recommend it to anyone learning especially as the stories are short so don’t get boring like most normal books when reading over and over again.

Good for repetition due to variety of stories

This is an excellent resource for learning especially if you follow the instructions not to look up the vocabulary straight away.
because it's designed to cover different people's interests sone stories weren't as enjoyable as others.
I'm also learning French and was disappointed to find out that the books in different languages all have the same stories in them.

Really good, some stories better than others, same stories in different languages

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

A mixture of good short stories ideal for helping you on your Spanish journey.

easy good conversations
