Reading culturally interesting and entertaining short stories to enhance your Spanish is an easy way to improve your Spanish language skills. This book contains a selection of 100 short stories for beginners with a wide range of genres, all prepared specifically for Spanish language learners. The aim of this book is to teach different Spanish vocabulary and phrases associated with short stories, and to improve your Spanish language skills in a short period of time.

Each of the first 80 short stories take about 2 minutes to read and average about 150 to 200 words. Important words and phrases relevant to each topic were carefully selected. The stories 80 to 100 are longer and slightly more advanced in terms of vocabulary. They are followed by multiple choice questions and answers. The stories 80 to 90 come with English parallel text, take about 3 to 4 minutes to read, and contain some of the vocabulary from the previous stories. The last 10 stories take about 4 to 5 minutes to read and consist of most of the previously mentioned vocabulary.

All stories are written by a Spanish linguist and native speaker from Spain to ensure you can learn from authentic material while fine-tuning your Spanish vocabulary and improving your comprehension.

The content is intended mainly for elementary to intermediate level learners, but it will also be useful for more advanced learners as a way of practicing their reading skills and comprehension of the Spanish language. The stories have been arranged according to their degree of difficulty and each story is accompanied by a key vocabulary section and story related questions.

For the absolute language beginner it's probably more beneficial if you listen to the stories first, and then reading the text aloud. Then review the key-vocabulary section and reread the story once more or until you get a grasp of the story.

Vocabulary will be introduced to you at a reasonable pace, so youre not overwhelmed with difficult words all at once. Here, you wont have to look up every other word, but you can simply enjoy the story and absorb new words simply from the storys context. To learn Spanish effectively you just read each Spanish story at a time and study the vocabulary after reading. The Spanish contained here are written using easy-to-understand grammar and vocabulary that both, those at the beginner and intermediate levels can understand, appreciate, and learn from. Some stories are focused on dialogue. These stories contain loads of natural dialogue, so you can learn conversational Spanish as you read. This is doubly beneficial as you will improve your speaking ability as well. Over time, you will build an intuitive understanding of how Spanish functions. This differs from a more theoretical understanding put together via learning rules and conceptual examples. Its more important to reach to finish the story without stopping, then to understand each and every word. The simple truth is that you wont get everything your first time around. This is completely normal.

Una pareja de pensionistas alemanes Fritz y Eva estn pensando alquilar un apartamento en Espaa. Les gustara quedarse todo el verano en Espaa. Es un poco arriesgado para ambos porque no hablan espaol.

Para Fritz lo ms importante es que el apartamento sea tranquilo, ya que no quiere que le molesten. Los dos pensionistas son modernos y consiguen alquilar un apartamento en Mallorca por internet.

Cuando finalmente llegan a Espaa, encuentran su apartamento en una zona residencial, en la que tan solo vive gente espaola y no hay turistas a la vista.

Hay por todas partes nios jugando y gritando y desde la ventana abierta del vecino retumba msica. Los dos pensionistas estn totalmente cansado. Se dan cuenta de que tienen un problema porque no hablan espaol.

Qu hacemos ahora?, pregunta Eva a su marido.

Ahora es la hora del descanso. Estoy muy cansado del viaje y tengo que dormir un par de horas.

Con este alboroto es imposible.

Ya lo he pensado, dice Fritz. Se me ha ocurrido una palabra espaola para descansar ahora. Voy a decrsela inmediatamente a los nios.

Suerte, a mi tambin se me han ocurrido palabras en espaol.

Fritz se acerca a los nios y cuando vuelve dice que ya est todo arreglado. Tras diez minutos golpean la puerta y las ventanas. Cuando Fritz abre estn los nios con los padres delante de la puerta. Todos gritan, cantan y estn contentos. Los nios incluso se han trado un equipo de msica.

Fritz, qu pasa? Qu has dicho a los nios?

Les he dicho que es la hora del descanso

Eso no se dice en espaol siesta?

Fritz se encoge los hombros. He dicho fiesta.
