Told Faster: Los tres cerditos

SMALL TOWN SPANISH TEACHER
About this episode

The story of the three little pigs, or los tres cerditos, is one of the first many kids learn. This story of hard work, personal responsibility, and delayed gratification never goes out of style. 


This story is told mostly in the past tense. Important vocabulary in the story includes: cerditos -little pigs, lobo -wolf, bosque - forest, paja -straw, madera -wood, ladrillos -bricks, and fuerte - strong.


No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at: https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2025/07/03/simple-stories-in-spanish-told-faster-los-tres-cerditos/
