Learn Spanish the way readers have always picked up languages: through a story worth finishing. This course pairs every sentence of Agatha Christie's The Secret of Chimneys with its Spanish translation and a word-by-word glossary, then checks your progress with quizzes as you read.

What you'll learn:

• Hundreds of everyday and literary Spanish words, met in context.
• How English sentences map onto natural Spanish sentences.
• Reading longer Spanish prose with confidence.
• Spotting key words inside authentic Spanish sentences.
• Following a full classic, from Bulawayo to the secrets of Chimneys.

Who this course is for:

• Beginner-to-intermediate learners of Spanish who want real reading practice.
• Readers who love classic literature and want to learn while they read.
• Teachers looking for a structured bilingual reading course.
