intensive reading, the kind of reading that tries to understand every single word which could rapidly become frustrating.That is very useful when at school, but not so good if you are trying to
read a story and at the same having to stop all the time to look up words on the dictionary So the main idea is that you engage in EXTENSIVE READING, the kind of reading that focuses in reading
material until the vocabulary sounds so familiar that you can grasp the story even though there might be a word here and there that you don’t quite well understand. Your brain is catching up on
new vocabulary on autopilot, the more associations you let your brain make the better your Spanish will become. So don’t let a few words to bother you, keep reading, you can always come back to
those words later if you need to.We have provided some translations along the story so that reading can become a more pleasant experience.Keep reading and try to guess the meaning of new
vocabulary based on the context of the story and, if you need to, you’ll find some words in parenthesis that will help you make the learning process faster and more enjoyable. Without thinking
