Victor’s Adventures in Spain.

¡Ya está a la venta! – It’s now for sale!

Now, after what seems like a lifetime, our latest Spanish Textbook, Audiobook and Parallel textbook is available online. Purchase the book from Amazon.com Purchase the book from Amazon.co.uk It’s available from all other Amazon outlets throughout the world. We are so excited to hear the reaction from the many people who have been anxiously waiting for its release.

There’s a lot of competition out there!

We know full well that there are quite literally thousands of books out there all aiming to help you with your Spanish and we have bought many really exceptional ones, too. However, what we have found is that they tend to be very focussed on one particular style. They tend to limit themselves by either being a Spanish textbook, a workbook, a parallel text book or an audio book. We’ve combined the lot!

We think we’ve covered all the bases.

What we have focussed on in our book is to provide you, the learner, with a full range of learning that involves every sense. As you make you way through the 32 chapters you will be helped to use all of your learning senses. You’ll be listening, reading, writing and if you follow our advice, reading out loud as you go.

The story

The story starts out in simple, straight forward Spanish as it tells of a young man called Victor who decides to move to Toledo, in Spain, to start a new life. From the beginning, he finds himself in a series of practical situations and much to his surprise at times, not all of them work out the way he would have wanted! As you share this adventure with Victor, you’ll discover how to deal with the real, day to day stuff of spending time in a Spanish speaking country. As the book progresses, so does the level of Spanish until, finally, you are guided through to a very decent advanced intermediate Spanish. (Or more!)

Parallel text

Every Spanish chapter is laid out, side by side with its English translation, making it easy to see just how the two languages work to tell the same story. We have aimed to ensure that this parallel text story only uses a language that is modern, practical and a one that you can pick up and use right away!

The audio book

Cynthia, a native speaker from Madrid in Spain and co-owner of LightSpeed Spanish, reads the entire story, starting out at an easy pace and building, just as does the language of the story, to a very decent level of listening comprehension. Of course, the beauty of it all is that you can follow along in the book as Cynthia reads the story, or you can simply listen to the audio and really hone your listening skills. We recommend that you do both.

The Spanish textbook / workbook bit

We believe in making our chapters memorable as well as understandable to all and that’s why we have included a Lesson at the beginning of every chapter. This will help you to comprehend so much more of what you are reading and hearing. These light, brief grammar lessons will truly round out your learning journey and move your Spanish forward at LightSpeed.

The Learning Zone

Using Gordon’s skills from his experience as a hypnotherapist, we have created a series of audios designed to help you get into the learning zone and massively increase your learning ability and memory retention.  Every professional knows that for them to get the very best results they must get into the “Zone”. The very same applies to you and your Spanish!

Vocabulary building and Useful Expressions.

We included a wide range of vocabulary building audios and videos as well as a compendium of great Spanish expressions that will serve you well and help you to understand the book, and even more importantly, Spanish speakers so much more easily.

 We really hope you like it and that it helps.

The most gratifying part of what we do is knowing that we are really helping others to learn Spanish well. We have had so many really wonderful emails and messages thanking us for the information we provide and we will continue to do so as long as there continues to be a demand for what we offer. We wish you the best of luck in your studies and if you do decide to get a copy of Victor’s Adventures, we sincerely hope it helps you to move your Spanish forward at LightSpeed.   un abrazo muy fuerte, Gordon y Cynthia. 🙂

    Hi Gordon and Cynthia
    I would like to buy the book via amazon.es as I live in Spain (postage is cheaper) but am unable to find it there. Can you help please?
    Thanks

      Hi Julie,

      I have ordered DVD’s and books from Amazon.co.uk for delivery to a Spanish friend who lives in Spain. Amazon have never charged me the postage from England to Spain. I think they send the goods to Amazon in Spain and then they send it out for delivery. I have only ever been charged for the Spanish delivery costs – usually less than one euro.

      Faye, Gracias por el mensaje. The only outlet at present is Amazon and as they are arch enemies of Ebay, I don’t think Paypal will work.

      Gordon 🙂

    Hola Gordon y Cynthia,

    ¡Enhorabuena! Estoy muy feliz comprar vuestro libro. Voy a escribir en inglés: I began learning Spanish about 3 years ago now. I travelled to spain last year and again this year, I take lessons from an amazing tutor but I also self teach as much as possible. being from Australia it is very hard to get the constant immersion needed to learn Spanish properly but your YouTube videos and help sheets are far and away the best self teaching tool I have ever found (and I’ve tried many). Please keep,doing what your doing . I can’t wait to start studying Victors Adventures in Spain and will continue to recommend your website to my friends and anyone I meet who is thinking of learning Spanish.

    ¡Saludos de Australia 🙂

    Holy Gordon and Cynthia,

    We have listened to Lightspeed Spanish on you tube, alongside our Spanish lessons, and we have bought the new book “Victor’s Adventures”, which was delivered today. We’ve tried to access the audio tracks by going to the browser, and using the address brings up the page I am on now. Also, we cannot find the password in the book! We are looking forward to “getting to grips” with this book as we have been enjoying the podcasts, so far.

    Thank you, Maureen Pallister

        I have received the book, its better than I imagined,its brilliant. I am unable to access the audio,do you know of any issues with the webpage. Massive congratulations

        1. Gordon Smith

          Karen. have you resolved it yet? The page works, I just think people are probably not getting the address right in the browser.

          Here is the page. Just click the link and then click Download Audios. It will ask you for a password and you will find that at the top of page 183. Write it in the box with the capital letter as you see it in the book. You will then get the links. Please let me know if you have problems. https://lightspeedspanish.co.uk/victors-adventures-audios/

    I noticed the spellchecker decided you were “Holy” rather than hello!

    Hi Gordon and Cynthia,

    I’ve ordered your book but Amazon have emailed me to say there is an unexpected delay and it won’t be available for a few days. Are you still sticking the covers on? lol

    I notice that you mention other books and ‘we have bought many really exceptional ones’. Any chance of sharing the details of these books with us?

    Looking forward to your book arriving.

    Regards
    Derek

    1. Gordon Smith

      Hi Derek. I don’t know why there should be a delay. Lots of other people have received their copy. How strange.They are print on demand so they haven’t sold out! lol. Some good books are, Spanish Verb Tenses by Dorothy Richmond. Also, Pronouns and Prepositions by the same author. We really liked these two and we use them in our classes sometimes.

      1. Derek

        Your book has arrived!
        Thanks for the info about the other books – I’ve just ordered them.

        Regards.
        Derek

    Hi Gordon
    We received the book today and can’t wait to get started. However we are unable to download the audios. We can get to the links ok but we get a message saying “Download Failed – Safari cannot download this file” (that’s on my iPhone) and on the iPad when you click on the links nothing happens at all.
    Any ideas please?

  9. David

    Got the book today. I got right to it . It’s great.
    However I can’t get safari to open file. Any suggestions
