About this book
Carlos has a small neighbourhood shop that sells a bit of everything — bread, milk, sweets, newspapers. Every day the same customers come by, and Carlos knows them all: Doña Elena, Don Pedro, little Sofía, his helper Miguel, and Pancho the shop cat.
Across twenty short stories — some about Carlos, some about his customers — you meet the everyday language of shopping and neighbourhood life. Written entirely in the present tense in very short sentences, a warm A1 reader for beginners.
Written at A1 (beginner): you know basic greetings and everyday words, and can follow very short, simple sentences. Not sure about your level?
