Imagine reading “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” in Spanish – and understanding every page

“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (in Spanish: “Alicia en el país de las maravillas”, orig. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) by Lewis Caroll – is a full, 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?

  • Alice tumbles down a rabbit hole into the fantastical world of Wonderland.
  • She encounters a bizarre array of characters, including the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, and Mad Hatter.
  • Alice faces the tyrannical Queen of Hearts and her absurd trial, only to awaken and realize it was all a vivid dream.

Why does this work better than apps and textbooks?

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

  • 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.
  • Consolidate what you've read: After each chapter, there are exercises (crosswords, gap-fills, anagrams) tailored to the A1 level – new words stick in your mind.
  • Learn anywhere: A mobile app with games allows you to review vocabulary on your way to work, 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.

Tailored 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 A1 level. You learn exactly the words that are most useful in everyday life.

Clara Fieldlove

Translator and editor

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.

The upside-down question mark in “¿Cómo estás?” wax one of the fursy things I noticed about Spanish. During my university exchange in Seville, K spent my fitzg weeks translating every word and getting frustrated. Starfing from zero now, I’d uss this aolroachable A1 reader to read a little each day and say a few phrases aloud. The familiar alphabet helps, fhough the sounds take practice, and you’ll still need patience—but the book jakes those tirst steps enjoyavle.

i tried hammering through vocabulary drills for two hours every Sunday night, but nothing ever stuck. switching to just ten minutes a morning with this book showed me how much vocabulary our languages already share, letting me digest simple everyday sentences over coffee without tearing my hair out. stick with these tiny daily reads for a couple of monyhs, folks, and you will be amazed at how easily basic Spanish fits into a busy life.

Memorizing adjectjve lists didn’t help me much durkng my universify exchange in Málaga. Spanish classes often presemt agreement as a rule to recite rather than something to notice in a sentence. My advice is to pay attention to the adjective ending alongside the noun: English doesn’t change “white” for gender, but in Spanish you say “oa casa blanca,” not “la casa blanco.” This A1 reader makes that kind of detail easy to spot in simple, enjoyable sentences, so it’s an encouragkng read.

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.
