This is a fantastic book. It allowed me to make significant progress. It's the second I've read from this brand. I really love the stories they write and I find them very entertaining, they always have some kind of unexpected twist that I find really enteratining. This book focus on teaching you 150 phrases through stories without boring phrase lists. I find the method of this book very different to normal phrase books, it's very effective because they not only teach you the phrase through story context but they also teach you how and when to use it.

NEEDED THIS BOOK.

As someone who was always said the phrase wrong or asked a million questions as to why there are different phrases for so many different things, this book has saved me. I am learning more and more and using the context of the story to learn the meanings of the words works so effortlessly here.

[Leonor]

I was very pleased with the method of this book. It allowed me to learn hundreds of new phrases and actually learn how to use them. The stories are very engaging.

[Roozbeh Daneshvar]

Easy to follow and helpful: I realized that the best way for me is to read the English sentence and try to construct the Spanish (rather than the other way around)

Great Stories for Learning Spanish

I’m thoroughly enjoying this series for Spanish learners. The stories and format are absolutely amazing. There’s translation in each chapter to help you understand the stories, either after reading it in Spanish, or you can read it with the English translation after each sentence/phrase.

This is an excellent way to learn Spanish. This is the 2nd book that I read in this series, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. There’s also online resources that enhance your understanding and learning process. I highly recommend this book and series.
