INTRODUCTION Spanish Reader for Beginners is the first of ten Spanish Readers of the series Spanish Readers for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Students, created by CostaRica SpanishOnline, the first Spanish school in Costa Rica to provide independent learners with One-On-One immersion Spanish courses via Skype. Each volume has been written according to seven levels of Spanish learners: Beginner, Beginner II, Intermediate, Intermediate & Advanced, Advanced I, Advanced II and Advanced III. Spanish Reader for Beginners targets Spanish Grammar level 1 within unique short stories with an unusual twist; each, written in Spanish spoken in Latin America, including current vocabulary you would like to learn. In addition, you will find a few examples Grammar Structures of higher levels to provide you a glimpse of what is yet to come as your reach more advanced levels. I truly hope you find this Spanish Reader useful and enjoy reading these stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them for you. Iris Acevedo A Author/Founder CostaRica SpanishOnline
