Reader reviews for First Spanish Reader: A Beginner's Dual-Language Book

Review summary

This seller has earned a 3.71 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
3.71 / 5 (380 total reviews)

Readers largely agreed that this bilingual Spanish-English collection of stories and folk tales is misnamed—it is not suitable for true beginners despite its title. Most reviewers found the difficulty increases significantly throughout the book, making it better suited for intermediate learners or those with several years of Spanish study. The side-by-side translations were consistently praised as helpful for learning, and many appreciated the variety of classic stories and cultural content. However, opinions diverged on the stories themselves: some found them entertaining and engaging, while others found them dated, boring, or morally problematic by modern standards. The book proved useful as a learning tool for those who persevered, though several readers noted they would have preferred more contemporary or engaging material.

Readers say this book is:
helpful educational engaging culturally enriching progressive difficulty misleading title outdated tedious unrelatable challenging

From the publisher

Especially designed for the beginning student, this handy volume helps students learn Spanish by presenting simple, easy-to-read adaptations of classic Spanish stories and other material -- with complete faithful English translations on the facing pages.
The selections, by significant writers of the past and present (Don Juan Manuel, Luis Taboada, Juan Jos Milla, Eufronio Viscarra, Ricardo Palma, Lope de Rueda, Enrique Amorim, Juan Jos Arreola, and other noted writers), derive from the best and most genuine Hispanic tradition, and are revealing of the life and psychology of the Spanish-speaking peoples.
The dual-language book will enable those readers with the most limited knowledge of the language to enjoy reading in the original Spanish from the very first day of instruction. Vocabularies and exercises are included as special aids for the student.
