SWJ STORIES · BOOK 2 · A2 🌈☀️

Un verano que nadie tenía planeado

A Summer Nobody Had Planned

Four men. One Mediterranean summer. Unexpected adventures, new friendships, secrets… and a few irresistible temptations!

Welcome to SWJ STORIES · Book 2 · A2, the second volume of the original Spanish graded reading collection created by Spanish with Jose.

Forget childish textbooks and predictable language exercises. This is Spanish learning designed for adults who enjoy engaging characters, real-life situations, humour, romance and a little cheekiness!

Meet Rafa, Mateo, Álex and Bruno, four very different men whose summer plans take an unexpected turn when Rafa invites his friends to discover a beautiful old house near the Mediterranean coast.

What begins as a simple renovation project soon becomes an unforgettable adventure involving mysterious doors, unexpected encounters, new connections, summer celebrations and secrets waiting to be discovered.

And, of course, there's plenty of sunshine, Mediterranean food, friendship and gay-friendly fun along the way! 🌊☀️

But this isn't just a summer story. It's your next step towards more confident Spanish.

📖 Learn Spanish naturally, one story at a time

SWJ STORIES combines entertaining storytelling with a carefully planned learning progression.

Instead of memorising isolated vocabulary lists, you'll discover useful Spanish words and expressions in meaningful situations, encounter them again throughout the stories and gradually learn to understand and use them more confidently.

As your Spanish improves, the British English support helps you progress towards greater independence.

Read, discover, understand, practise — and enjoy the journey!

✨ What's inside?

✅ 10 interconnected stories — Follow an evolving Mediterranean adventure filled with friendship, humour, relationships and unexpected twists.

✅ Level A2 progression — Build on your A1 foundations while developing vocabulary, reading comprehension and grammatical confidence.

✅ Visual vocabulary guides — Learn nouns, adjectives, verbs and useful expressions through realistic photographs and contextual examples.

✅ British English learning support — Understand unfamiliar language with bilingual explanations and translations, designed to support increasingly independent reading.

✅ Grammar in context — Discover how Spanish structures work naturally within conversations and everyday situations.

✅ Creative missions and challenges — Put your Spanish into practice through comprehension tasks, vocabulary activities, problem-solving and imaginative exercises.

✅ A connected learning experience — Previously introduced vocabulary returns in new situations, helping you consolidate what you've learnt.

✅ Adult, LGBTQ+-friendly storytelling — Inclusive characters, natural relationships, Mediterranean adventures and grown-up situations.

🧠 More than reading: learning that stays with you

In this volume, you'll explore increasingly varied Spanish language structures and everyday communication.

You'll practise describing people and places, talking about plans and obligations, comparing options, narrating past experiences and expressing ideas with greater confidence.

The activities encourage you to go beyond simply recognising words: you'll retrieve vocabulary, make decisions, solve problems and create your own responses.

Because the goal isn't just to understand a story. It's to make Spanish part of your own story.
