Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) by Arthur Conan Doyle – is a complete, engaging story adapted specifically for the A1 (beginner) level. You don't need to know every word. You'll understand 95% of the text immediately, and every new word is explained in the margin. You simply read – and learn naturally.

What is this book about?

  • Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson solve baffling cases from their Baker Street flat.
  • Holmes uses unparalleled observation and deductive reasoning to piece together fragmented clues.
  • He outwits Scotland Yard, exposes Victorian society's darkest secrets, and relentlessly pursues truth and justice.

Why does this work better than apps and textbooks?

  • Learn anywhere: A mobile app with games allows you to review vocabulary on your way to work, in line, or wherever you have a moment.
  • Build lasting vocabulary: Flashcards at the end of the book allow you to systematically review the most important words – so you don't forget what you've learned.

About Spanish (the language of this book)

Where Spanish is spoken

Spanish (Castilian) is an official language in Spain and is spoken throughout Latin America. It is also an official language of Equatorial Guinea and is widely studied as a second language in the United States, Brazil, and Western Europe.

How many people speak it

About 500 million people speak Spanish as a first language; counts of all users including second-language speakers are often placed near 600 million.

Grammar and structure

Spanish is a mostly synthetic Romance language: verbs carry rich endings for person, tense, and mood; nouns and adjectives agree in gender (masculine/feminine) and number. Word order is flexible compared with English, with subject pronouns often omitted because the verb ending identifies the subject. Learners focus on ser vs. estar, the subjunctive, and object pronoun placement.
