Gritty Spanish Basics

Learning the basics of Spanish can be a fun and easy experience when it’s learned through context using real conversations.

This is exactly what this version of Gritty Spanish aims to do.

Endlessly studying verb conjugation tables and vocabulary without any real context can get pretty boring fast.

In this book, you will be able to understand Spanish in a really fun and easy way. As you read each conversation, you’ll develop a strong, solid foundation…

This book includes tons of words and phrases you’ll surely use and hear when you’re out in the real world.

You will learn how to make small talk, introduce yourself, ask for directions, order at a restaurant, talk about your next vacation, converse about a movie, talk to a doctor, check into a hotel, chat about music and so much more.

Gritty Spanish Basics contains 28 of these conversations!

No need to use external dictionaries and translators to figure out what’s going on.

It's super easy to view the translations as you read - this is true side by side reading!

Many of the verbs and key phrases are also thoroughly explained in the "breaking it all down" section at the end of each story. It’s super easy to get to that area to read more about key verbs and phrases, see other examples and quickly get back into the story without losing your place.

There are blue underlined links throughout each conversation. You can read about why certain verbs are used, their tenses, other examples, etc. with one click.

Gritty Spanish Basics is considered the "child" of our most popular product, Gritty Spanish Beginnings, but it’s less advanced. It’s easier to read because the language used throughout is not quite as advanced.
