William is a shy, young English man who is learning Spanish and trying to survive daily life in Madrid. Reading about his misadventures in the capital of Spain, you will learn about Spanish culture and improve your language skills along the way.
This story is the second book in a series of Spanish Easy Readers called SPANISH FOR BEGINNERS , whose aim is to help you learn Spanish from scratch and reach an intermediate level. Therefore, the difficulty of the text and the language used in this short story have been adapted to help students revise and consolidate their grammar and vocabulary in Spanish at level A1 and A2 on the Common European Framework of Reference.
Repetition, repetition, repetition…
Repetition is key in this book: you will read the same words, the same expressions and the same grammar structures again and again.
When learning new words and new expressions in a foreign language, repetition is essential. You need to read (and hear) the same words again and again, in different contexts, in order to understand its meaning and to be able to remember them later on.
That is the reason we say this book is carefully designed to help you revise and consolidate fundamental vocabulary and basic grammar structures studied in any Spanish beginner course: you will read the same words, the same expressions and the same grammar structures again and again, in different contexts, in order to help you understand its meaning and be able to remember them later on.
Vocabulary.
Each chapter comes with a translation of the most important words and expressions used in the text to help you understand the story and learn the vocabulary and grammar involved.
