Do you want to read / listen to short stories in Spanish but the ones you've found use too many uncommon words? You're in the right place! "The Devoted Friend" is a story written using a list of the 1,000 most common words in conversational Spanish: It includes more than 400 of the top 1,000 words. These are words you either already know, or need to learn as soon as possible. Unlike "Short stories in Spanish for beginners" books on Amazon, every single word in "The Devoted Friend" is worth learning!

About the story: "The Devoted Friend" is a classic story by Oscar Wilde about Little Hans, a people-pleaser who can't say "no", and the ridiculously self-righteous Miller, who is always asking Little Hans for favors. This Spanish adaptation was completely re-written using extremely common words you'll hear every day in conversations. Little Hans and the Miller were renamed "Juan" and "Don Justo".
