About this listen
Looking for Spanish novels? I know how tough it is to find good readings to learn a new language. You don't usually have a large vocabulary and aren't able to read long and complex sentences. You'd like to go right to the fun stuff, but maybe it's too hard for you now. A typical Spanish reader isn't interesting or is just plain boring. But this audiobook is not like that.
Learning with Spanish Novels is easy and straightforward. Forget about difficult, long texts with English translations. This audiobook for Spanish learners is not like that. It will take you to the next level in less time. That means less effort and struggling toward fluency in Spanish. Improving your Spanish can be lots of fun.
This is a Spanish audiobook for pre-intermediates (A2) that is both fun and easy.
Un Yankee en Buenos Aires is the eighth audiobook of the Spanish Novels series. This pre-intermediate Spanish audiobook is packed with useful expressions you need in everyday situations: greetings, asking questions, talking to friends, etc. Anyone who has a basic command of the Spanish language can take advantage of this audiobook. I assume you know your pronouns, articles, and the most used verbs/nouns in Spanish. You also need to know simple present, past, and future tenses.
Brian is 22 years old and lives in California. He's finishing his MBA at Stanford. Brian has planned out his life with his girlfriend, Sarah. But suddenly, she leaves him. Now, he feels the world is over. Until his friend Jeff sends him an email. He lives in Spain and travels the world. Jeff suggests him travelling to other countries.
This Spanish audiobook for pre-intermediates will show you the most used grammar structures in different situations. As the difficulty level is just right, you will learn and enjoy it at the same time. There's no doubt about it: An intermediate Spanish audiobook is the perfect place to keep improving the language.
Why Spanish Novels:
- Short sentences
- Short chapters
- Easy vocabulary
- Simple grammar
- Everyday dialogues
If you are familiar with common structures of the language, you can tackle this novel. An intermediate Spanish story is supposed to be consumed by language learners, isn't it? What would be the point to stuff the audiobook with difficult grammar, translations, and the like? It'd make no sense! The best you can do is work your way up with easy readings. Once you finish some Spanish novels, you'll have learned a lot about the language in everyday situations.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.
