Spanish Short Stories

Ålderdomlig bok. Säkert 30-40 år gammal. Maläten.

Yesterday I read a Carlos Fuente's story from this book.Carlos Fuente is a famous Mexican writer, who passed away recently.He was also an outstanding social advocate.How difficult is to read his story! Where are my nine years of Spanish, my experience of teaching beginning Spanish? I was wondering when reading Carlos Fuentes.He is not as complex as, let's say, Emilia Pardo Bazan, but the literary-conversational vocabulary is quite extensive. I have many of this type of books, and it is never enough to read them.Dual-language books are always value for those who are studying foreign languages forever like I do.April 15 2014Zoia Yeliseyeva (Sproesser)UTube zoiacalifornia

Moi bo. Cumpre as expectativas

I found this to be very challenging, as it contains a lot of slang, in particular Latin American slang, and many of the stories are also written in a very "literary" way. In truth, I think the Spanish in it was a bit too advanced for me, but I look forward to reading some of the stories again in the future when I can appreciate them more!

A very good variety of stories. Just the right length for the student trying to translate something above intermediate SpanishI think that the translations into English are of a good standard..A refreshing change from the usual text books.However they are not an easy read, I found I needed to check and recheck my work.
