Hi,
Pretty new to italki, so still checking it out but thought I'd take the opportunity to ask if anyone has found any novels suitable for adult beginners? I think the more opportunities to earn the better! So, I'd like a novel that I can slowly work my way through learning as I go.
Suggestions?
Muchas Gracias
Mick

Welcome to Italki Mick!
i think that you can try to read any novel that suits your taste if you read it on a tablet and you download a dictionary so that you can easily search for the words that you do not now. I am reading a novel who was just published this year, it is quite simple, short phrases, lots of dialogues. It’s a detective story with historical background. It takes place during the Spanish Civil War. It’s called Eva and it is written by Arturo Perez Reverte, an ancient war correspondant and author of many novels and member of the Real Academia Española.
If you have read the Harry Potter books in English, the Spanish versions are not too hard to read. Your library probably has the audio book in Spanish. You can follow along as you listen to the audio book.
Here's a website that has fairly easy little stories in Spanish:

These are not novels.
