All of our stories are written with hand picked vocabulary so that the words translate between English and Spanish literally. In some cases it's not possible for the languages to translate so obviously. In our books we focus on specific dialogue where word structure changes and particular verbs that are expressed differently between the two languages. For the bulk of our stories we only choose frequently used verbs in present tense to be clear for our readers (adults or children) that are learning Spanish or English. We colour code and give a short simple explanation at the end of our books  as to why and how focusing on these areas will catapult your language learning journey.
