Beginner Stories (A1) in Spanish
Start reading Spanish with our beginner stories. Written for the A1 level, each one sticks to short sentences, present-tense grammar and the few hundred Spanish words you meet first. Tap any word you don't know for an instant meaning, so one unfamiliar word never ends the session. Read a story twice and the vocabulary starts sticking on its own.
