Introduction

So you want to learn Spanish? That’s awesome, reader. Spanish (or Castilian) is a Romance language spoken by over 570 million people around the world, and is recognized as an official  language by the European Union, the Organization of American States, the Union of South American Nations, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, and many other  organizations. It is also, impressively, the second most spoken native language in existence, after Chinese.
The Spanish language originated in the Castile region of Spain around the 9th century, and slowly evolved into what it has become today with heavy Latin influences as well as Greek ones.  Interestingly enough, it is also one of the few languages spoken natively on four different continents (North America, South America, Europe and Africa), and has a heavy influence within the  Philippines (Asia).
It may be important to note at this point that having a basic to intermediate level of Spanish may be an important tool for your professional future, as well as opening several doors for you on  your resume if you feel the need to either migrate or work in a multi-cultural environment. Spanish speakers will usually appreciate your effort in having partially or fully learned their language,  and they will happily collaborate with you in solving your doubts. 
What the following book is about
We’ve written this book to cover an important issue that seems to affect every new learner of the Castilian tongue — a lack of helpful reading material. While in English you may encounter tons  (or gigabytes, in our modern terms) of easy and accessible learning material, in Spanish you will usually and promptly be given tough literature to read by your teachers, and you will soon find  yourself consulting your dictionary more than you’d want to. Eventually, you’ll find yourself bored and uninterested in continuing, and your initially positive outlook may soon turn sour.

There’s something you must understand: Spanish isn’t an easy language,but it isn’t a horribly difficult one either. You just need to make an effort in identifying your flaws and weaknesses, and  having purchased this book is a definite good start.
Our goal with this book will be to supply you with useful, entertaining,helpful and challenging material that will not only allow you to learn the language but also help you pass the time and make  the experience less formal and more fun — like any particular lesson should be. We will not bore you with grammatical notes, spelling or structure: the book has been well-written and revised to  ensure that it covers those aspects without having to explain them in unnecessarily complicated rules like text books do.
If you’ve ever learned a new language through conversational methods,teachers will typically just ask you to practice speaking. Here, we’ll teach you writing and reading Spanish with stories.  You’ll both learn how to read it and write it with the additional tools we’ll give you at the end of each story.
