Review: Not for beginners - A quite brilliant little book buy it's not for beginners. The format of the story in Spanish on one page and then in English on the opposite page is a great way to read Spanish but have a ready translation for the words you don't know. It is also a great way to pick up little colloquial phrases that really useful in conversational Spanish. Great value for money: I've bought several copies and given them as presents to friends who are learning the language. Review: Dual language. English on one page, Spanish on the other. - This helped me in my Spanish learning. It contains quite a few short stories, translated in both English and Spanish. The beauty here is that whilst translating a word makes sense in part, presenting it in the context of a sentance or indeed a paragraph makes my understanding of the Spanish language far better. This is easy to read in both Spanish and in English and is suitable for intermediate students. ## Features - Penguin Books ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 11,143 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3 in Language Readers Reference 72 in Fiction Anthologies (Books) 515 in Short Stories (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 617 Reviews | ## Images ![Spanish Short Stories: Cuentos En Espanol (New Penguin Parallel Text Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QoCucS06L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for beginners *by A***H on 12 August 2024* A quite brilliant little book buy it's not for beginners.

It has a variety of interesting/funny stories which can help you learn new words from all sorts of topics, and each story isn't too long, so one story can be read at a time with ease. It has helped me a lot to learn new vocabulary, however I have noticed a few strange translations, but that would be my only complaint. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spanish Short Stories: Cuentos En Espanol (New Penguin Parallel Text Series): 0 - Short Stories in Spanish for Beginners: Read for pleasure at your level, expand your vocabulary and learn Spanish the fun way!
