The 'learn Spanish by reading' approach is surprisingly effective; try some of these quizzes and see how quickly your confidence in the language grows!

     

    When you click through the questions, simply try to understand as much as you can.

These parallel translations are a bit like having a personal teacher with you as you read, whether you need an easy Spanish book or something more advanced!

Whenever you have some free time, simply click through as much material as you can, practicing in a relaxed and convenient way, growing your knowledge of Spanish grammar and vocabulary quickly and effectively using fully bilingual texts.

     

    These dual-language books are in Spanish AND English, so don't worry if you don't understand every word; translations are always there to help you understand Spanish phrases and vocabulary as you progress. Whether you're studying Spanish for beginners, or you're an advanced user of the language, this book will help you to develop your comprehension and grow your vocabulary quickly and effectively.

It's a quick way to practice the language, whether you're learning Spanish for travel, business, college exams, or taking high school Spanish SATs, PSAT / NMSQTs or Spanish ACT tests. Anyone else who has already acquired a basic working knowledge of the language can benefit from this book.

    ***

    The translations in this book are as literal as possible while sticking to standard, everyday language. For that reason, the English phrases do not always reflect the Spanish texts word-for-word. Use them as a guide to comprehension, not as an exact parallel of the original Spanish.

Because the text is fully bilingual (Spanish-English), you will always have the help you need to improve and consolidate your knowledge of Spanish grammar and vocabulary.
