Spanish Short Stories 1 / Cuentos hispánicos 1 (Parallel Text) (Spanish and English Edition)

The stories in this book are really captivating and I don't even feel like I'm practicing Spanish when I'm reading this! A great resource for a language learner!

I bought this particular book a little too premature in my Spanish studies. It is a nice book for those whose levels would be considered intermediate to advanced. It's not intended reading for beginners.Also, for those who care, the stories are from different regions of Latin America and the differences in slang and diction are profound. For example: words that are common in the story from Argentina differ greatly from the story written by the Cuban writer or Peruvian writer. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but worth mentioning if you are thinking perhaps all the stories are similarly written with the same general Spanish verbiage, this is not the case with this book. It is a compilation of several Spanish speaking countries.

Me gustó mucho el libro

Great collection covering a variety of authors, countries, and literary styles. I like to take these books on airplanes because I can use the English text to find the words I missed, rather than also taking with me a dictionary or paying for Wi-Fi to look up words online.

Reading Spanish and English side by side. I can't think of a better way to learn the language. I loved these stories. Learning the grammar was tedious, but in my opinion essential. Reading the stories was enjoyable. Grammar for the basis, reading and conversing to make advancement. So, having the tool of side by side stories provides a convenient and delightful way to make advancement! IMHO.

Very nice

Good Book!

Great book.

Arrived promptly. I could tell it was used just very slightly on the edge of the sleeve, however, it arrived in a good condition and for the price was very good value for money. Pleased with my purchase and would use them again.

Hadn't expected only one Spanish story and everything else south american Still given time I will work it out

this was a christmas present for a friend who is learning spanish , it is good because the spanish text is next to the english text so when stuck on a word it can be translated without having to use a dictionary
