 Does what I bought it for. May 5, 2008
I bought this book to help me with my vocabulary and in learning some more slang and sentence structuring. It does all of that very well. But, if you are looking for "interesting" short stories, I would look elsewhere. I look forward to memorizing the new phrases that I have underlined in this book... really helpful.

The format is friendly for those trying to improve their Spanish. The stories are leveled, and the verb tenses vary in the stories. Besides its educational value, it's just plain fun as well.
Not too hard, not too easy, just right February 13, 2008

This book was just what I hoped for: short stories in relatively easy Spanish, with facing English text to check when you're not sure you understand something. Resist the temptation to "cheat" and you'll find you understand a lot more than you think you do. If you've learned almost exclusively spoken Spanish, as I have, you sometimes have to look carefully at a word and think about it before you slap your forehead and say, "Por supuesto! Yo entiendo." Enjoy
 Great book for beginners February 8, 2008

I bought several books similar to this one, and this particular book is great if you are just starting. The sentances are short and most of the words and tenses are pretty simple in the beginning. The difficulty level progresses through the book, but still a good place to start if you don't know much spanish. Several of the other books were designed for people who have had more than a year of spanish.

Excellent resource for beginning to intermediate students of the Spanish Language. With Spanish and English versions on opposing pages it is easy to check your translation without the constant referral to a dictionary. In addition the stories, idioms and proverbs give you an insight into the culture.
