Spanish Short Stories for Beginners: 20 Captivating Short Stories to Learn Spanish & Grow Your Vocabulary the Fun Way!

Easy Spanish Stories, Book 1

De: Lingo Mastery

Narrado por: Jesse Fister, Nicolas Villanueva

Do you know what the hardest thing for a Spanish learner is?

Finding PROPER reading material that they can handle...which is precisely the reason we’ve written this book!

Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the reader and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes - it’s not entertaining, useful, or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning at all!

In this book we have compiled 20 easy-to-read, compelling, and fun stories that will allow you to expand your vocabulary and give you the tools to improve your grasp of the wonderful Spanish tongue.

How Spanish Short Stories for Beginners works:

• Each story will involve an important lesson of the tools in the Spanish language (verbs, adjectives, past tense, giving directions, and more), involving an interesting and entertaining story with realistic dialogues and day-to-day situations.
• The summaries follow: a synopsis in Spanish and in English of what you just read, both to review the lesson and for you to see if you understood what the tale was about.
• At the end of those summaries, you’ll be provided with a list of the most relevant vocabulary involved in the lesson as well as slang and sayings that you may not have understood at first glance!
• Finally, you’ll be provided with a set of tricky questions in Spanish, providing you with the chance to prove that you learned something in the story. Don’t worry if you don’t know the answer to any - we will provide them immediately after, but no cheating!

We want you to feel comfortable while learning the tongue; after all, no language should be a barrier for you to travel around the world and expand your social circles!

So look no further! Pick up your copy of Spanish Short Stories for Beginners.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Great tool

An easy way to ride around town learning Spanish and working on pronunciation. A great Audible feature is that you can slow it down to hear the words better. The stories are simple but as a beginner you are struggling to understand them anyway.

A very helpful book for beginners

Any additional comments?

This audiobook is exactly what it says it is. It has short stories for beginner Spanish learners. I like the vocabulary reviews and summaries of the stories. I think it will be better to review the vocabularies first, before reading the stories, though. The stories and vocabularies are varied. The stories are fun and relevant. I enjoyed the narration and the audiobook format is very helpful, because I have problems with Spanish pronunciations. By listening to this audiobook, I feel confident to follow the pronunciations of the narrator. The accompanying PDF document is crucial for me to make this audiobook useful.

Doesn’t seem to match the paperback book

Easy to follow and well narrated, the trouble I have with it is that the audiobook doesn’t seem to match the paperback book.

Fully enjoyed!

Found this short story book easy to follow while I’m driving for work! Really good way to get my feet wet in the language as I embark on a long journey.

Good for beginners who are becoming intermediate

I enjoyed listening to the stories and was able to follow along well. I did have to slow down the reading speed so I could catch every word and process what the story was about. There is an English summary at the end of each story, which helped to check how well I understood the story! I am a true beginner, and started with Duolingo. This is good companion for those who want very basic stories to help practice listening to Spanish!

Excellent and Unique Learning Resource!

Amazing! I never had a learning tool for foreign languages that gave you the real world experience of listening to a story and then having the vocabulary of the story broken down into easy parts. The narration in both languages is clear and easy to understand. A .pdf also comes with this audible. Great resource!!!

Fantastic way to learn Spanish!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I'm trying to learn Spanish, and studying it on text has been much less effective than playing Spanish audiobooks has been. I've listened to Lingo Mastery's more elementary Spanish learning books before, and this book of short stories is a perfect stepping stone to more advanced Spanish fluency.

The stories are short, relatively simple, and a perfect way to practice fluency under real world conditions -- that is, with narrative context, diverse vocabulary, and a range of tenses -- during my commute. I love this Spanish series from Lingo Mastery. Well done all around.

perfect idea/ una idea perfecta

as a language teacher ,I saw this book as a perfect way to learn Spanish through stories.
It could be just incredibly genius, for kids and adults that struggle with the normative and boring system of learning language.
it was perfect, and I will take the same idea as a teacher to the future.

Not quite for beginners but very enjoyable

This is a very enjoyable and fun way to practice spanish especially if you don't have a teacher! Do not forget to print out the supplemental PDFs, incredibly helpful!

Not for Beginners !

Way too hard and overwhelming for me and I’d consider myself an intermediate Spanish learner.
