StoryLearning Spanish Podcast! Introducing… The StoryLearning Spanish Podcast!

One of the most common questions I get about all my Spanish learning materials is this: “What variety of Spanish do you use?”Helpful Glossaries To Help You Learn New Words: Each episode also includes a glossary or word list, to help you build your Spanish vocab fast. We have selected around 10 words from every chapter to include in these glossaries. We're immersing ourselves in Spanish. But we're doing it at a level that is comprehensible to us, it's not too hard. That means that we can listen and read to the story and understand a fair amount of it. And when we understand a little bit (or maybe a lot!) that's when we can learn, because it's not too hard for us. Olly’s teaching style is based on the idea that language learning should be fun, engaging, and practical. His language learning resources often use storytelling as a tool for improving comprehension and building vocabulary. He also emphasizes the importance of speaking practice and encourages learners to practice with native speakers as much as possible. I think I would have enjoy this so much more if the author had instead of writing his own stories had instead opted to use already famous / good short stories and then adding this "learning" layer on top. I do realize this comes with a few problems on its own.
