Simple Stories in Spanish
Told Faster: La Llorona
Scary stories exist in every language, in every country. In the Spanish speaking world, none is more well known or widespread than the story of the weeping woman, La Llorona. La Llorona haunts rivers and lakes as she searches for her drowned children. If she can’t find them, she might just grab you.
This story is told in the third person using the present and past tenses. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “tiene miedo” (is scared), “niño” (child), “mujer” (woman), “hombre” (man), “hijos” (children), and “río” (river).
