Short, well-produced content to help Spanish listening comprehension
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 recently got to episode 363 on his "I will teach you a language" podcast, where he discusses James Clear's "Atomic Habits" book and the difference between goals and habits. Even though I've read that book and even though I've also been bullet journaling and maintaining daily Spanish practice for nearly two years, something about how Olly Richards reworded and examined James Clear's discussion of "falling to the level of your habits" struck me. Shortly after, I discovered this podcast, which is well produced and I like that it includes the text of the short discussions so that I can tune my ear to the Iberian pronunciation (I've been studying the Equatorial Spanish Latin American variety). The podcasts are short enough that I can go through three a day, which should have me caught up with the series by August. This podcast, if listened to systematically and incorporating other "rules of language learning" that Olly Richards and other polyglots and high-level language learners espouse, does help bridge the gap between intermediate material and native-level content. Thank you to the StoryLearning Spanish team for providing this material for free. I hope that it can be produced in other languages, especially Italian and Modern Standard Arabic, as these languages seem to be lacking in good lower intermediate story content. Keep up the great work. Cheers.Read full review »

I really like Olly's language learning resources based around learning a language by stories. These stories are another great resource and they are interesting too.Read full review »

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Olly’s mentoring changed the way I viewed language learning. In the last year I have exceeded anything I could have thought possible in my language learning journey. I have been counting down the days until the release of this podcast and I could not be more excited with the...Read full review »
