Book Reviews of Easy Spanish Reader

Book Review: Excellent Resource for learning Spanish
Summary: 5 Stars

In "Easy Spanish Reader," there are three parts, all helpful and ranging in difficulty. I am currently learning Spanish, and expect to double major in Spanish (I am a high school student)and this book was extremely helpful the first 2 years or so of learning. Although I earned 98% my first year and 97% the second, I still felt that I was not able to fully understand the basics, and I didn't feel confident in my ability to read and write and use the vocabularly that I already memorized.
I picked this book up, and it was immensely helpful from the very start. I was happily surprised when my class was being taught a new lesson and some of the words were already ingrained into my mind because I had read and memorized them from "Easy Spanish Reader."

Also, it does not seem to be only my opinion that this book is qualified and important. My Spanish teacher used several of the excerpts and questions from this book during class and was impressed that I had the same book as she did to teach us!

And for any other Spanish learner, I highly recommend the book "Introduction to Spanish Poetry: A Dual-Language Book" ([...])
It is one of the best dual language books that I've had with me since the very start. The poetry is beautiful, and translated wonderfully. I urge everybody to pick it up.

I am planning on purchasing several other Spanish books after careful deliberation, and I will update this review if there is anything else worth reading.

Summary of Easy Spanish Reader

A fun and easy new way to quickly acquire or enhance basic reading skills

These unique guides are based on the premise that the best way to learn a language is to start reading it, immediately. Suitable for raw beginners to intermediate-level language learners, the new editions of these popular titles feature engaging readings of progressive difficulty that allow learners to rapidly build comprehension.

Easy French Reader begins with the adventures of two friends, an American and a Parisian, as they learn about their respective cultures. This is followed by readings on the history of France, from ancient Gaul to the present. The final section features four abridged short stories by famous French authors.

Similarly, Easy Spanish Reader begins with the story of two high school seniors involved with their Spanish Club, followed by a history of Mexico, from the Conquistadors to the present, and an abridged version of the classic story of "Lazarillo de Tormes."
