About this listen
¡Hola! If you got here, it's because you are interested in learning Spanish using the stories method. Then, let me tell you that you won’t regret buying this book because it contains 20 stories about different topics that have vocabulary and sentences that will be really useful for your process of learning Spanish.
As you might know, nowadays, Spanish is the second most spoken language all over the world. So, I guess that you have an idea of how this will help you to broaden your horizons in several ways. It is scientifically proven that learning a new language, or at least a second one, has a lot of benefits for your brain. It helps you to improve your memory; thinking about something in another language will help you to analyze the situation deeply; it makes easier to switch between tasks, will improve your confidence, and even will delay the effects of Alzheimer's for about four or five years.
Now, you might be wondering, “What will I find here”? Well, let me tell you that in this book, you will find 20 stories divided by chapters. Each chapter contains a story written in Spanish. At the end of it, you will hear a brief summary of the story in Spanish, and afterward, you will hear the summary translated to English. After that, a little list that contains the important vocabulary of each story. And last but not least, a question section that will help you to prove yourself and your reading comprehension.
Here are some of the stories that you will find here:
- El Pincel Mágico: A kid who became an orphan, whose dream was to be an artist, was forced by his grandmother to study software engineering. One day, when he was coming back from work, he sat on a bench at a park, where an unknown subject gave him a magic brush. Everything drawn with that magic brush was brought to real life.
- Los Hermanos Del Bosque: Two orphan kids who lived in the woods one day saw a blind man who took a nap in a tree near to where they lived. When the man woke up, he departed but left a bag where he had a nap. When the two brothers took the bag to see what was inside, they found tons of money. One of the brothers suggested keeping it, and that way they could live a better life. But the other brother knew that it was not right, so they decided to return the bag to its owner. But in reward, the old man gave them something….
- ¿Tradición o Tragedia?: Four girls, used to going to the mall on Fridays to hang out, were in the bathroom putting up makeup when an earthquake struck. When they came out of the bathroom, there was nobody else inside the mall. They separated in order to search for other people, but a bit later, a second earthquake struck. This time, the lights of the mall and the signal of their phones died.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

I really love this audio book
I’ve been studying Spanish for a couple years. It’s easier for me to communicate in writing but it’s so much harder to understand when people speak. I hope this book helps me to develop listening skills. I’m really enjoying the stories and it’s easier to understand them since they are slower. I recommend this book to beginners!
