SUNDAY STORIES
A little Spanish,
every Sunday.
Small, true stories from my childhood, a Dominican girl growing up between the island and Rhode Island. Gentle enough for a complete beginner, with the English right beside the Spanish, so you can read them together from the very first word.
Start with this one, no signup needed.
