Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Reading every article at every level, word lookup and listening need no account. A free account adds saved words, flashcards, drills and simplifying your own texts.
What level should I start at?
Open any article and switch levels until the text is comfortable — you should be able to follow the meaning without stopping on every sentence.
Which Spanish is it — Spain or Latin America?
Both. Stories come from newsrooms across the Spanish-speaking world, and each article keeps the Spanish of its source.
How often are there new articles?
One a day, at all four levels.
Are the levels real CEFR levels?
Each level is written to a CEFR band: A1 and A2 are short briefs, B1 is the full article in simpler Spanish, and the original is B2–C1.
Where does the Spanish come from?
Reporting from openly licensed newsrooms such as Global Voices, rewritten at each level and checked against the source’s facts and figures.
