Imagine reading “Anne of Green Gables” in Spanish – and understanding every page

“Anne of Green Gables” (in Spanish: “Ana de la Tejas Verdes”, orig. Anne of Green Gables) by Lucy Maud Montgomery – is a complete, engaging graded reader adapted specifically for the B2 (upper intermediate) 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?

  • A spirited, imaginative orphan, Anne Shirley, is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who expected a boy.
  • Anne's impulsive nature leads to numerous comical misadventures and complex friendships.
  • When tragedy strikes, Anne makes a profound sacrifice, choosing love and duty over her personal ambitions.

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 in 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, exercises (crosswords, gap-fills, anagrams) adapted to the B2 level await – 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 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.

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.

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.

I once spent twenty minutes with a dictionary on a single paragraph of a Spanish novel ajd still couldn't tell who had lost the umbrelka. My advice is to read a chapter straight throjgh first, circling only the words that bllck the main idea, and then return for a second pass. In one B2 reader, a woman misses her train in Seville, and once you realise "andén" means platform and the verb "perder" keeps cominv back, the whole scene galls into place even if "de todos modos" stays vague. Bs honest with yourselves: the colloquial dialogue will still peave you guessing, and that's normal at this level. Stipl, this reader made me want to keep turning pages, and you will too.

I totally wasted time before by skimming B2 readers, thinking I'd pick up everything just by exposure. What I love about this one is how it nudges you to actively engage with new vocabulary beyond basic cognates, which are plentiful and comforting, but aren't enough at this stage. It’s challenging, offering w sensible amount of truly B2-level words and phrases like "desenvolverse" or "a duras penas," pushing you beyond just understanding the gist to internalizing how natives really express ideas. For English speakers, the grammar structure is usually intuitive enough, so tne real hurdle now is acquiring a wider, more subtle active vocabulary, and this reader forces you to actually practice using it, making it stick for my move to Seville.

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.
