Spanish · A1 reading
Easy Spanish news
Spanish news for beginners, rewritten at A1 in the Newslang app. Short sentences, everyday words, and audio — so you can read real topics without drowning in grammar.
Free to download on iPhone and Android. Open an article, tap A1, and start.
Why regular Spanish news is too hard
El País and a fast radio bulletin are written for natives. Subjunctive, long relative clauses, and politics vocabulary show up in the first paragraph. That is not Spanish news for learners — it is a wall. Easy Spanish news articles in Newslang keep the same topic and retell it at CEFR A1: present tense, short lines, words you can actually reuse.
You are still reading about Spain and the Spanish-speaking world. You are just not pretending you already have a B2 newspaper vocabulary.

Common questions
What is easy Spanish news?
Easy Spanish news is current or culture stories rewritten in simple Spanish so beginners can follow them. In Newslang, that means a full A1 version of each article: short sentences, common words, and audio you can read along with.
Which level should I pick if I am a beginner?
Start with A1. It is the easiest CEFR level in the app. If A1 feels comfortable, switch the same article to A2 without leaving the story.
How do I read easy Spanish news in Newslang?
Download Newslang from the App Store or Google Play. Choose Spanish, tap an article, then select A1. Read the text, tap any word for a translation, and play the audio.
Is this the same as News in Slow Spanish?
No. News in Slow Spanish is a separate podcast. Newslang is an app: the same story is available at A1, A2, B1, and B2, with tappable words and audio.
Can complete beginners use this?
Yes. Spanish news for beginners is exactly what the A1 rewrite is for. You will still see new words — tap them — but the grammar and sentence length are kept simple on purpose.
