I always thought I had to be fluent in Spanish before I started to try and read Spanish but I have found that just as when you read English you often skim many of the words and still comprehend it. So I read this one or two pages at a time and looked for the words I knew then I had the gest of the story and could review the vocab and the questions. After that, I reread the whole chapter and looked up words I didn't know. Then I read it a third time all by myself. I couldn't believe I was reading a story in Spanish but it really felt good.Bethany Patridge - Verified Purchase (July 10, 2016).GREAT LEARNING TOOL (5 STARS)FANTASTIC METHOD to assist my teenager and myself with applying the Spanish we know to comprehend Spanish texts!!!AB - Verified Purchase (July 8, 2016).ADVANCED BEGINNERS (5 STARS)GREAT LITTLE novellas to practice learning my Spanish.

Reviews

[Kiri · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very fun read. It is clearly a dramatically simplified version of Don Quixote, but it was still engaging enough to keep my attention and an interesting challenge to read. Each chapter is 2-4 pages, quite digestible, and each one is accompanied by a small glossary. The glossary didn't always define the terms you would expect (the harder ones), and it contained some English typos, so I supplemented it with another Spanish dictionary. The reading comprehension questions are minimal, but they do give you something to practice with. It's also a useful way to practice pronunciation - read aloud!
