Library
Free Spanish books for people learning Spanish
39 books in Spanish, all public domain and free to download as EPUB from Project Gutenberg. Each one is measured from its own text — sentence length, and how much of it is built from the two thousand commonest Spanish words.
These shelves carry no CEFR level. A CEFR-graded wordlist exists for English and is used on the English shelf; no equivalent is available for Spanish, and inventing one from word frequency would be a number that looks precise and means nothing. What is shown here is measured — how, exactly.
