5-Minute Spanish Short Stories

Advanced Beginner to Upper Intermediate

De: Español con Carrot

Narrado por: Nicolocutor

Ever wondered what Christmas is like in Venezuela? What about the famous Holy Week in Spain? Or a typical asado evening in Argentina?

Cultural knowledge is an essential part of any language learning. It is the backbone of a language’s personality and the main ingredient to a language’s unique flavor. It is no different in the case of the oh-so-diverse Spanish. What means baby in one part of the Hispanic world might mean bus in another (we’re looking at you, guagua), and what is considered socially acceptable in one might be a cultural offense in another.

Written by native speakers from different parts of the Hispanic world, this book offers:

• more than 20 short stories to give listeners a glimpse of the Hispanic culture
• an extensive list of colloquial Spanish terms and expressions
• cultural explanation or clarification where needed
• a series of simple questions after each story to test listeners’ comprehension (output is just as important as input!)
• and more!

Add this audiobook to your collection of Spanish learning tools, and join us in discovering the colorful culture of the Hispanic world! ¡Leamos en español!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This is really good but a little advanced for me. I'll return to this after getting a little better with spanish

Not the best

The Spanish speaker speaks too fast and runs the words together, which are too hard to follow without access to a written text to follow along. He speaks the English translation with minimal comprehension and a heavy accent. He introduces slang words which we do not need when we are trying to build up our more basic vocabulary. The text may be dramatically interesting, but it was not written with the needs of the learner in mind.

Also, this is definitely not suitable for advanced beginners.
