A sample Spanish passage - Elementary (A2)

Marta vive en un piso pequeño en la ciudad. Cada mañana se levanta a las siete. Primero toma un café y come una tostada con mermelada. Después se ducha y se viste con ropa cómoda. Luego va al trabajo en autobús. El viaje dura veinte minutos y casi siempre va llena. En la oficina trabaja con números delante del ordenador. Por la tarde, vuelve a casa y lee un libro en el sofá. Antes de dormir, llama a su madre por teléfono. A Marta le gusta su rutina tranquila y sencilla.

  • Tap any word for an instant translation and hear it spoken, learning vocabulary in context.
  • Difficulty adapts as you go, and your streak and saved words are kept on your device.
