About this deal
About: A collection of short stories in Spanish, described as being for high-beginners/low-intermediate language learners. In these stories, you'll see a woman turn invisible, journey with Vikings to explore new lands, run from a beast in the woods and be a knight on a quest for the king, as well as many more. In this article, I'll give you an introduction to the podcast and the team who have created it. Plus, I'll show you exactly how to get this most out of this incredible free resource so you can build your Spanish vocabulary and master grammar fast. NB - There is an audio of the book available separately. I use it to listen and read along. It builds listening skills and helps me know how the words are pronounced. But most of my time I'm reading only, as I can focus better that way. The narrator speaks Iberian Spanish and goes slower than normal speech would. Then we follow this with one of my favorite techniques: reading and listening at the same time. I'm a big fan of this technique because it helps you fill in the gaps as you go.
