Read a free Spanish short story: one continuous story for beginners (A1–A2), online and with translation. Every word clickable, completely free.
Spanish has two verbs for 'to be' (ser/estar) and a rich verb conjugation system with a distinct ending for each person, so subject pronouns are often dropped entirely.
Pronunciation is highly regular – almost every letter is always pronounced the same way, which makes Spanish easier to read aloud than English or French.
Spanish and English share a huge amount of Latin-derived vocabulary (nation/nación, important/importante), which makes reading Spanish easier than the grammar might suggest. The real adjustment is grammatical: Spanish uses grammatical gender for every noun and has a subjunctive mood that shows up constantly in everyday speech, something English mostly abandoned centuries ago.
