Would you like to improve your Spanish? Besides following a course at Route 66, why don’t you try to read a book? Yes, I know it’s difficult to understand a book in another language but as a teacher I recommend you do it. You don’t have to look up all the words that you don’t know, just try to understand the concepts and the story in general. Perhaps, at the beginning it’s a bit difficult but after a while it won’t be.

If your level of Spanish is upper-intermediate, there’s no doubt, this is your book: Sin noticias de Gurb by Eduardo Mendoza (published by Seix Barral). This novel is very funny and easy to read because it’s written as a diary.

This book is about an alien who gets lost in Barcelona and narrates the adventures that he experiences together with his friend.

I hope you like it!
