So just what is the Spanish NewsBites recipe?

  • Three to four times a week, we choose a news story from Spain or Latin America and adapt it for language learners. Often, it's the kind of story you won't easily find anywhere in English.
  • Then we add mouse rollover translation into English of key vocabulary. To see how this works, just roll your mouse over these words in bold.
  • Then we prepare an audio transcript of the text for you to follow. This can be done straight from your browser, or it can be downloaded as an MP3 file.
  • Then we add a PDF file of the text and glossary, so you can print it out and take it away with you.
  • Then we add links which we think will give a little further context and generally enhance your reading.
  • Then we add an online self-correction exercise.
  • The news stories are classified into categories by theme or by Spanish level - beginner, intermediate or advanced. So you can choose what you read according to your interests or your level.
