Pleasant way to learn more vocabulary

I’m guessing the content is still good… However, now it costs about the same as a Netflix subscription. It would seem more reasonable if they treated it like an e-book that you purchased by the season. 🙃 Also, you have to download the transcript separately which is a bit of a pain.

I am a long time learner of Spanish and I am excited about Story Learning because it is a new way for me to experience learning. The podcast is a fantastic place to hear and immerse yourself in the language. It feels natural and enjoyable and takes the brain on a journey and not a destination....Read full review »

Es muy facil escuchar diario a este podcast. Aun es un poco adictivo en una manera positiva - muchas gracias por este recurso invaluable

I have listened to podcast for quite a while. It has helped me with my Spanish and it has been enjoyable. However this move to patreon only access to the transcript means you lose me as a listener. I can’t afford it even though it probably seems cheap to you. I am retired with a retirement income...Read full review »

I’m new here and I just wanted to put my two cents in. Thank you for the excellent podcast.

I recently discovered this podcast, love it because it’s high quality, huge backlog, and is a push for me to follow so I need to listen a few times to get it - I.e. it’s just right!

Great podcast! Short daily stories that keep you interested with a comfortable amount of new vocabulary.

The best!!!

The best podcast to listen to whilst learning Spanish. The key words in the description of each episode are SO helpful and I really enjoy listening to these! thank you <3

Very interesting stories and good technology To reinforce practice

I have followed Olly Richards off-and-on for almost seven years now, and I've purchased his story books for Spanish and Italian. Recently I've been systematically going through his podcasts from the beginning in my dead time when I cannot concentrate on Spanish language learning. I...Read full review »

This is a great idea! It's a lot of fun to follow along with this story. Such good quality audio files too. I am very glad that you brought more Spanish accents to the Second Series. Thank you.Read full review »

It’s an excellent way to learn through story. The teaching of vocabulary and then repeating of the story is a very clever way to teach. However, what is annoying is the 70secs of introduction at the start of each individual podcast. It is too long and after a few episodes it can get very...Read full review »

Love it ! A bit hard to catch on a story considering as a beginner but notes with text super helpful!!! Will come back every day! Thanks !!!!!!
lnmk560 via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 04/10/21
This podcast is fantastic! The chapters are short so it’s easy to practice daily. I use these podcasts as a supplemental to his Stories Uncovered for beginners. Also, the transcripts are an added bonus. It’s a great way to go back and check comprehension. And it’s all FREE!
Jaime936 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/21
Love it ! The story requires a lot of listening and a lot of concentration but it all feels worthwhile when you get to grips with what Sofia is telling you in each chapter.
Nimbus 23 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/16/21
....... write a second review because 4 months in, this podcast still has me hooked. Super fantastic learning tool for the skill I find most difficult .... understanding spoken Spanish. Also I can highly recommend the monthly Story Learning Challenges. Best investment I have ever made in my...Read full review »

I only discovered this podcast 3 weeks ago and have completed season one in that short space of time. I really love following the story and cannot wait for season 2! I loved it that much I’ve shared it with all my local Facebook groups here in Spain, where many expats live 🥰
Manky2 via Apple Podcasts · Spain · 03/12/21
Really enjoying the podcast and finally moving past beginner/intermediate level Spanish! I listen on my way to work and review the text and vocabulary later.
Dirk 317 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/21
Easy, free way to daily progress in Spanish
Miguel de Carolina via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/21
I’ve read several of Olly’s books and thoroughly-enjoyed improving my Spanish with them, but this format is terrific! The audio is top-quality, the story is fun, and I’m completely engaged with the characters. The bite-sized chunks combined with a transcript and glossary is perfect: I typically...Read full review »

This is an update to my original review. I started learning Spanish in mid March and have been listening to the podcast since it started in August and am AMAZED how much both my aural comprehension and vocabulary has improved over the last 5 months. The story is great and the daily practice of...Read full review »
Jimthegeog via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/08/21
The concept is great. A paragraph of a story, then some vocabulary explanations and then again the same paragraph. However, I’ve been only listening to the podcast for a few days and I’m trying to catch up so I listen to a few episodes at once. Since entering the story at a later stage isn’t that...Read full review »

This podcast is a masterwork. For an intermediate Spanish learner it is hard to imagine a more valuable way to spend a few minutes every day.

A wonderful part of my daily Spanish routine
Jake from Iowa 62153 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/14/20
This is a fantastic resource. A new chapter to the story every day which is just the right length and pitched at just the right level for intermediate Spanish learners. I know a reasonable amount of Spanish but am much less familiar with listening than reading so to get the audio with the...Read full review »

Great job, thank you!!!
GUBKA via Apple Podcasts · Russia · 12/13/20
I have been studying Spanish x 6 months every day on my own. This podcast is perfect. I mostly understand without having to read the transcript, but having the transcript is really helpful to cross check your understanding. It is just hard enough to keep me learning, without feeling frustrated. ...Read full review »
McFaddek via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/20
I’ve started listening 5 days ago. I only knew hello, good bye and thank you in Spanish. After listening once or twice a day I can make out some of the words and starting to understand some of the story. I’ve not read anything just listening. Awesome guys thank you very much.
Prad5 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/25/20
I’m really enjoying listening to the podcasts and improving my Spanish! It’s fun and easy
LazyMaman via Apple Podcasts · United Arab Emirates · 11/07/20
This is brilliant. Hope can do it in French, Italian etc
gnuel_samoht via Apple Podcasts · Hong Kong · 11/07/20
Would love to be able to translate to English to be sure I’m understanding story and words correctly. Thanks
Rebecca4444 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/20
I am using StoryLearning Spanish to supplement my spanish learning using Duolingo. Even though I am at the beginner level in Duolingo, I am following the protocol suggested in this podcast to listen twice (learning the 10 vocabulary words in between each listen) and then proceed to read the text....Read full review »
frugalphilly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/20
It is great to be able to listen to Story Learning Spanish. Sofia narrates each story clearly and this makes it easier to pick up words that a beginner may not know. In addition, the story is repeated with a break in the middle to review the words and their meanings in English. I highly recommend...Read full review »
Captain Pouch via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/22/20
I’ve really enjoyed this story so far and look forward to it’s continuation. I’m an A2.2 level learner and have found I can follow quite easily - Sofia has a lovely, clear voice and having the transcript with the audio on the podcast makes it really easy to use. Having a bit of vocabulary gets me...Read full review »

This podcast is the perfect level for intermediate students trying to improve their listening skills. Also, it’s interesting, fun, and relevant to the real world.
elizabethdisabel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/20
It’s really nice to be able to listen to a story that captures your attention, then review the key words, before hearing it again. This podcast has a story, word review and a transcript. What else could we possible ask? Great work!
mso5064 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/20
I like the short length of the episodes (I can listen to it multiple times) and I like that the transcript is provided right in the podcast. The idea of having corresponding Instagram posts is brilliant. Highly recommended to anyone who needs more listening in their Spanish learning journey.
serenity192 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/17/20
I have been a student of many of Olly’s courses, and this podcast, like all the other works, is done so professionally, and is helping me to improve my comprehension of the spoken language. Thank you, Olly and Sophia!

A fun and engaging way of improving your Spanish. Great idea🙂
nobody interesting via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/07/20
I have been studying Spanish for years but have been stuck at the intermediate level (maybe lower) in my ability to understand spoken Spanish. I am on the 7th chapter in this daily series, and I am feeling optimistic for the first time in a long time since I am already seeing improvement. I...Read full review »

I'm ecstatic that this podcast is now a thing. I've used their StoryLearning method before to learn German and am very pleased with the results - I regularly have 30 minute conversations in just German, and the StoryLearning method was my main resource. This new podcast is just the...Read full review »
