Spanish Short Stories,

Cuentos Hispanicos:

This collection is a good way to start reading Spanish. You do need to know a little Spanish to get going, but the brilliance of this collection lies in its translations side by side with the short stories.

They are stories from known authors, which makes a learner feel good, since it is “real” Spanish, not just text book Spanish, which is often fabricated to make it approachable. These stories are interesting and a good way into Spanish literature. The translation on the opposite page means you keep up the momentum when you are reading, which is essential to progressing with your learning.

I am a firm believer in reading to build up language skills and I believe this is a great example of a book to start on. It is appropriate for learners who are already advanced, say up to A-level, so don’t think it is too basic.
