A MURDER MYSTERY BOOK IN SPANISH

Vecinos del infierno is a thriller which, I hope, will grab your attention from the beginning and will keep you motivated till the end of the book. It's a story that you will really want to read. A story you won't easily put down. A story that may keep you so intrigued, you may forget that the main purpose you started reading it was to learn Spanish!

LEARNING SPANISH BY READING. READING IN SPANISH FOR PLEASURE.

Reading Spanish short stories like Vecinos del infierno is one of the most effective and pleasant ways to learn Spanish. By reading, you can learn vocabulary and grammar structures in context, without the need to memorise lists of isolated words or study endless grammar rules.

INTERMEDIATE AND UPPER-INTERMEDIATE LEVEL OF SPANISH

Vecinos del Infierno is a Spanish short story written especially for intermediate and upper-intermediate learners of Spanish. It has been carefully designed to help students review and consolidate key vocabulary and grammatical structures from levels B1 and B2 in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).


A FUNNY SHORT STORY

Vecinos del infierno is a book to learn Spanish, but it's also full of irony, humour and good vibes which will make you smile, laugh out loud sometimes or even cackle, snort, giggle or titter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique graded reader 😂
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2024

This is the first graded reader that I have learned so many interesting vocabulary words. I will say that I find Juan’s writing to be quite refreshing and I’m never sure what is going to happen next. During the scene where the protagonist Juan finds himself truly in a dire situation, I couldn’t help but being engrossed in the story to the post of forgetting that was reading Spanish and I really felt kind of scared in a real way. Maybe he has a way of somehow making me feel a connection to the main protagonist, I’m not sure but I finished reading this in two days and that’s more than I can say for many books even in English. I will say though that it does deal with a lot of mature themes which might make people uncomfortable but I didn’t think it was anything crazy.

Juan consistently writes excellent Spanish learning books, but "Vecinos del Infierno" is his best yet! This thrilling story kept me glued to the pages, even though I took my time to enjoy it over 20 days. It made my train commute so much more enjoyable.
The plot is full of unexpected twists and turns. I highly recommend this book to other Spanish learners and eagerly await Juan's next work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some content might be triggering
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2023

This is the 3rd Juan Fernández book I've read in the past two weeks. There is repetition in the older-man/younger-woman fantasy, and portions of text which contain physical/psychological/emotional violence. (It might sound silly, but I do advise sensitive readers to be aware.) The work itself is well executed; a "murder mystery" of sorts; full of colloquialisms. Also, the author has a knack for making his protagonists only semi-likeable. In his books, all characters have their fair share of flaws, which is part of his realism and his irony. This book is dark--not particularly comedic--if you enter the adventure with this knowledge, perhaps you might enjoy it more. In this case, I liked the Spanish better than the storyline.

With levels B1 and B2 being the plateau levels, it takes forever to work through them and variety is a helpful way to stay motivated, that's why I love these kinds of books! I wish this author would write more in this level!

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn, Reinforce and Enjoy
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022
Verified Purchase
First off, don’t expect classical Spanish literature, this book is written as an “undercover teaching aid.” By “under cover” I mean teaching and reinforcing Spanish language usage without one being aware. It’s a fun story to read, with a plot one can follow, and with enough twists and turns to keep one reading. As an aside, if you follow the author on YouTube (you should) you would get a mental image of the narrator. The writing is repetitive in a good way, reinforcing the use of phrases and grammatical structures. The vocabulary seemed intermediate with having to stop, ponder and on occasion look up a word or phrase, but generally can be understood by context. Real colloquial expressions are highlighted and explained, in Spanish, in the attached glossary after each chapter. The reader should be acquainted with multiple tenses, including subjunctive present and imperfect. But they too, will repeat often enough for you to become comfortable. On occasion I would even stop and read a few sentences out loud to practice saying certain phrases that caught my attention.
I definitely recommend this book, and hope, it helps you too as you enjoy reading it.

Although the story was a bit strange, it introduced the reader to a rich array of new vocabulary. It provided good practice with the imperfect tense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horror story to enrich your Spanish vocabulary
Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2022

Vecinos del infierno (Neighbours of hell) is a new book of well-known professor of Spanish on line, Juan Fernández, and a new opportunity for the students of Spanish to enjoy his well-written story, this time the chilling thriller that will not only keep them in suspense but also enrich their vocabulary of many new colloquial expressions. It is important to realize that this book, just like the previous books of this author, it's not the textbook of Spanish. The objective of the professor is teaching Spanish in the context of the story, without the lessons of grammar. These types of stories are called Graded Readings because they are adapted to different levels of difficulty of the language. Vecinos del infierno is a Graded Reader for adult learners with an intermediate or upper-intermediate level of Spanish. I enjoyed immensely the story and learned many new expressions of the colloquial language due to the frequent dialogues and the ambience of the novel. It is a great addition to my collection of the books of professor Fernández and I highly recommend it to the students of the nivel B2.

Self-published, unrefined, and brilliant. Juan writes as he speaks (on his podcasts). The graduated levels of his books are perfect for always pushing yourself, and progressing your learning.
The warning he gives at the front (the only English in the book) was funny in itself, and enough to make me want to get stuck in to it immediately.
The writing is clever and satirical, whilst remaining accessible. I’m halfway through and already don’t want it to end.
I will definitely be purchasing more of his books.
