    It will help you learn, revise and consolidate the vocabulary and grammar of the levels A2 and B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference. There are different methods or techniques to learn the grammar and vocabulary of a Foreign Language, but reading is one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to do it. By reading, students can learn or consolidate the vocabulary, expressions, verb tenses and grammar structures as part of a story, in context, without memorizing lists of isolated words or studying endless grammar rules. However, it is not always easy to create a good story with the limited vocabulary and not-too-complex grammar learners of a Foreign Language require. That is the main reason Easy Reader books are sometimes disappointing. The stories told are just too bland, fail to capture the attention of the learners, and do not keep their motivation until the end of the book because authors are constricted to using quite a narrow range of grammar points and vocabulary topics. I hope Año Nuevo, Vida Nueva does not disappoint you. I have written this story based on my experience living in London and teaching Spanish for 20 years. The events and the characters I describe here are only the result of my imagination, but their fears, sadness, anger, frustrations, hopes, joys, and dreams are real; they reflect some people I have met and some situations I have encountered during my teaching career in London.
