¡Ah, principito! Así, poco a poco, comprendí tu solitaria vida. Durante mucho tiempo tu única distracción fueron las tranquilas puestas de sol. Me enteré de esto en la mañana del cuarto día, cuando me dijiste: - Me encantan las puestas de sol. Vamos a ver una puesta de sol. - Pero tenemos que esperar… - ¿Esperar a qué? - Esperar a que el sol se ponga. Al principio parecías muy sorprendido; luego te reíste de ti mismo.

One of the goals of this podcast is to offer enough listening material so people can be exposed to the language as much as possible, especially through stories (I particularly like the TPRS concept).Although there are already some graded readers for Spanish learners, I felt that most of them are sort of childish, or just not very entertaining to read.So I decided to write an original one!I tried to make a story with a more "adult" plot so it can be more interesting for students beyond "school age" but at the sametime I tried to keep it beginner friendly, focusing around the A1-A2 contents (both in grammar and vocabulary).Send an email [email protected] a transcript and a vocabulary lists of this chapter, also I'd love to hear your suggestions too, that way I can continue providing more content and improve the quality of it too!Support the show(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thenaturalway)
