I was angry with myself. Why do I not understand English? Why can´t I learn this language?. The Last week I remembered a publisher called “le chat noir” (the black cat in English). This publisher specializes in books for learning French with 200, 300, 600 or 1000 words. In my house there are four or five books like this one/of this kind. I thought: will they be publishing similar for learning English?
Last Monday I went to a good place for searching for books, a book shop with an English section.
Good morning, I said in Spanish.
Good morning, the woman replied. Can I help you?
Yes, I said. Do you know the books published by “le char noir”?
Yes, the woman said. Come with me, they are here.
I see them, but… I said. they all are in French.
Of course, said the woman, “The chat noir” is a French publishing company … do you not know?
Are there similar books in English?
Yes, there are, I have in the shop two publishers “Oxford book worms” and “Cambridge discovery readers” the latter with CD Audio.
How much are the books?
5€ without audio and 8€ with audio.
Give me the two (or "give me both", both es mas comun pero “the two” es corecto tambien), I said and I was very happy.
As I said, today ends my first book in English, with audio, called “Quick Change!” it is for the 200 words style (or “kind”). It is a story about one girl who discovers she is a witch.
I am happy.
Today I finished my first book in English. Please, corretions and notes.
