About this listen

Looking for Spanish Novels? I know how tough it is to find good listens to learn a new language.

You don't usually have a large vocabulary or are able to read long and complex sentences.

You'd like to go right to the fun stuff, but maybe it's too hard for you now.

Learning with Spanish Novels is easy and straightforward. Forget about difficult long texts with English-translations. This audiobook will take you to the next level in less time, with less effort and struggling. Improving your Spanish can be lots of fun.

El robo del siglo is the book number 19 of the Spanish Novels Series. It is packed with useful expressions you need in everyday situations. Anyone who has an upper-intermediate command of the Spanish language can take advantage of this audiobook. You need to know conditionals, gerund, pluperfect, and simple past tenses. Besides, you will find longer and more complex sentences and sections.

A gang of robbers steal 390 million dollars from the Central Bank in Mexico D.F. They hide from the local police in Tijuana, and then try to go to California. Because of a woman, jealousy and betrayal will creep in and make things even harder for everyone in the gang.

This audiobook will show you the most used grammar structures in different situations. You will learn and enjoy it at the same time. It will definitely help you work your way up toward more advanced readings.

Why Spanish Novels:

  • Short sentences
  • Short sections
  • Easy vocabulary
  • Simple grammar
  • Everyday dialogues

From the first chapter:

"Los viernes, el Banco Central de México D.F. cierra sus puertas al público a las 3pm. Después de esa hora, ya nadie puede entrar al banco. Los empleados, de todos modos, deben seguir trabajando hasta las 4.30 o 5pm. A nadie le gusta quedarse después de hora, pero la verdad es que no hay otra opción. Todos los días quedan cosas pendientes, y alguien debe encargarse de resolverlas. Hoy, los últimos en salir son los cajeros. Para ser un viernes no está nada mal: a 4.40pm ya estaban afuera del banco. En la puerta saludaron al personal de seguridad. Ellos siempre se quedaban hasta las 6 de la tarde (y a veces un poco más). El día de hoy, debían esperar a los técnicos informáticos. Sus jefes les aseguraron que los técnicos iban a llegar al banco antes de las 6pm, por lo que no tendrían que quedarse después de hora.

Efectivamente, pocos después de las 5.30 llegaron los empleados del departamento de informática. A diferencia de todos los expertos en computadoras, ellos no parecían nerds o geeks. No tenían anteojos ni remeras de Star Wars. Como estaban trabajando los tres llevaban puesto el uniforme de la empresa de servicio técnico para computadoras: camisa y pantalón azul, con el logo de la empresa en color blanco."

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

I liked the mystery of the story line

Very nice book, I loved the storyline and how the characters were presented. I liked the mystery and the i was surprised by some events. The only thing i dislike was the ending, that’s was a real bummer.
