I was reading this book whilst also doing Spanish school in Guatemala and it helped a lot with learning. The storyline is quite unrealistic but it makes it fun to read instead of just having a boring book in basic Spanish. Gonna read it again once I finish Spanish school and will hopefully understand more!
What a great way to learn expand my vocabulary and build confidence in Spanish! The way the scenes/chapters are set up really reinforces comprehension as well as vocabulary. I found myself skipping the English translation pages because I felt like I didn’t need them. An added bonus is a cute story line. Hoping for more in this series!
It seems easier to learn Spanish this way because as you move into the story you can feel whats about to happen so even in a different language you can guess, even if you're unsure, the meaning of the sentence. And ten to be able to read it in English to confirm is the main part. Its either confirmation or correction. The perfect lesson. Thank you. Now, on to the next book in the series. 😊
Another winner from Cristina Lopez. Very much enjoy seeing my progress in these books, how much faster I'm getting at reading and how much more comprehension I have. Good fun and look forward to the next one.
This is a good way to check your learning of Spanish vocabulary and simple sentence comprehension. It's written using only present tense verbs! The story is fine. I recommend this book as good additional strategy to augment learning Spanish.
This is exactly what I needed to help me with my Spanish. I feel very confident reading and understanding the stories. If you are practicing Spanish, this is a great series to help build skills.
I bought this book because I follow the author on TikTok. This is the first book I have ever read in Spanish, and it did so much to boost my confidence and increase my motivation to keep learning.
Again wasn’t too bad, definitely not as interesting as the first one lol but felt that this one was much easier and faster to read, overall rlly good little book for practicing Spanish
It's a great book for learning Spanish. I felt very confident after being able to understand (almost) everything. However, the story was rushed and sometimes totally random things were happening. Story-wise I definitely prefer the first book but this one was also great and I would recommend it to students of Spanish any day.
