Imagine reading “Pride and Prejudice” in Spanish – and understanding every page

“Pride and Prejudice” (in Spanish: “Orgullo y prejuicio”, orig. Pride and Prejudice) by Jane Austen – is a complete, engaging story adapted specifically for the B2 (upper intermediate) level. You don't need to know every word. You 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?

  • Elizabeth Bennet, a spirited young woman, faces immense societal pressure to marry well in 19th-century England.
  • Her world is disrupted by the arrival of the wealthy Mr. Bingley and his proud, enigmatic friend, Mr. Darcy, against whom Elizabeth forms a strong prejudice.
  • After Elizabeth rejects Darcy's unexpected proposal, a letter reveals his true honorable character, leading her to re-evaluate her initial judgment.

Why does this work better than apps and textbooks?

Our books are based on the Pentecost Method – the only approach 100% grounded in scientific research on language learning. The result? You learn faster, remember more, and actually enjoy the learning process.

  • Read without interruption: Translations of the most difficult words are found in the margin of each page – you don't have to break away from the story to look them up in a dictionary.
  • Reinforce what you've read: After each chapter, there are exercises (crosswords, gap-fills, anagrams) tailored to the B2 level – new words stick in your mind.
  • Learn anywhere: A mobile app with games allows you to review vocabulary on your commute, in line, or whenever 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.

Matched to your exact level

The vocabulary in this book has been selected based on an analysis of 2 billion words from authentic texts, precisely matched to the B2 level. You learn exactly the words that are most useful in everyday life.

Translator and editor

Clara Fieldlove

Clara Fieldlove edits English-language scaffolding around Spanish narratives for the extensive-reading list. She steers clear of over-literal cognates that mislead beginners and prefers short glosses tied to the immediate context. She has a soft spot for dialogue-heavy chapters where rhythm matters as much as vocabulary.

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.
