Spanish Short Stories : 20 Captivating Spanish Short Stories for Beginners While Improving Your Listening, Growing Your Vocabulary and Have Fun

by Sergio Rodríguez

Most of the time, teaching books are boring. They always have the same kind of Two (sometimes more) people talking about where the library is, or where to find Juan.That’s boring, and to be honest, it’s not a great way to learn the language (not to mention that they don’t always talk about things that you might encounter in your daily life, for example, a judgmental ghost, being the last man on Earth, or maybe find that the love of your life has been stolen). But in this book, I will give you 20 short stories that will range from science fiction to romance, everything in between and sometimes even more. These stories will give you an entire picture of the Spanish language, and how to appreciate the subtlety of the language.The Spanish language is rich, full of small differences between the different countries. Things that might be one way in Argentina might be different in Spain or Mexico. But don’t worry, with this book, you will have a firm grasp on the language, and you will be able to understand and have a conversation with any Spanish speaker.

After each story, there will be a questionnaire section where you will answer questions about the stories in Spanish. I really suggest to grab a blank page, and write down the answers, or the small assignments that you will be given (don’t worry, they won’t be long!). Remember to write them in Spanish, so you can practice and use the language. Also, in this section, you will find grammar and fun facts not just from the stories themselves, but from the inspirations behind them, and facts about living in a Spanish country. I hope you like them.All these stories are written from my heart, and I deeply hope that you will find them funny, mysterious, romantic, or at least entertaining. That’s my goal as a writer, and I hope you enjoy your time reading (and learning!)

Good beginning Spanish stories- I liked that they weren’t predictable (like other beginning Spanish books) and the English translation was immediately following to check comprehension. I’d like a glossary and paragraph structure to match Spanish and English.

I enjoy these short stories. Love the variety of themes of the stories. I use it as textbook (highlight new words, phrases, going through verbs), and the stories make it more fun!

This book was amazing; the stories were engaging and unpredictable not like the other beginner books that I have read.
