A great tool for learning Spanish. I like the manageable chapters within each story. The highlighted words for the most part were words that I was grateful for the translation.

StoryLearning® helps you learn Spanish naturally and in context, so you can actually use what you learn in the real world. The reason that it’s good to do it like this is because when you listen to the audio by itself, you're training your ear. So, you're getting a chance to try to understand the spoken Spanish without any help. The stories were at a good level for advanced beginners. Yes, some of the paragraphs were very tedious, but the point was teaching the grammar and the vocabulary. Then you are going to hear a repetition of the story so you get a chance to listen to it again without having to rewindA fun, exciting and natural way to immerse yourself in Spanish every single day and improve your skills fast. This book is fantastic. An excellent aid to learning a language. The glossary at the end of each section of the story, as well as the summary and questions for comprehension, make for a book and language learning tool that leaves others in the dust. The Spanish speaking world is full of so many different accents, but whatever kind of Spanish you're learning – whether you plan to move to Mexico or to Argentina or to Columbia– it doesn't matter. 99% of all Spanish is the same! StoryLearning® is based on the idea that rather than studying with textbooks, learning with stories is a much more natural way to improve. It allows you to build your vocabulary fast, and because you learn the language in context, you master grammar more easily. I also think that giving a paragraph summary at the end of each chapter, a new vocab list and a round of questions to answer helped to cement that feeling of comprehension. I might not have known every word or every sentence, but going through this summary section did increase my confidence that I'd understood enough.
