"Having a daily immersion is the only way I can learn a language. I’ve tried listening to French radio, but until I train my ear, it’s above my level. I can’t overemphasize how important it is to do a little bit everyday."

"Just a few chapters into the program at this point and the story method seems invaluable for acquiring French. One of the better ways to find engaging input; and as any knowledgeable language 'learner' will tell you: INPUT, INPUT, INPUT!!"

"I’ve been learning German with Duolingo since the start of the pandemic. It’s aggravatingly slow. I am doing a quick review of all the grammar I’ve missed and refining my pronunciation. Plus the story is SO GOOD! Love this method, thanks!"

"This program has for me removed the struggle of trying to retain phrases & grammar by focusing on the storyline. The rest appears so much easier to grasp as you follow through with the breakdown in the lessons attached to the program"

"I love learning from 30-Day Challenges. The story this month for the Speaking challenge an amusing travelogue in Italy. The excellent teacher points out the important bits of their conversations that are conversational or local speech."

"Having used other methods for learning Spanish, (Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, Babbel, and Pimsleur), I find the StoryLearning method much more complete. I don't feel pressured for points and can work at my own pace."

"Great product. Learn colloquial language, internalize grammar, vocabulary in context, and the best part: improve your listening skills while enjoying it: the people doing the voiceover do an AMAZING job with the emotional, dramatical tones!"

"Great service. I use Olly’s materials for Spanish, and it (Uncovered) may be the most comprehensive Spanish course I’ve purchased. It’s a good complement to his Conversations course. Together, you get better at listening, grammar, speaking"

"I am impressed. The skill, planning and tech work involved in bringing Story Learning to life is to me unimaginable. I was an ESL teacher, and get by in Mandarin and Arabic, so I know language teaching. I'm excited to study every day."

"I have found it really hard to understand fast French conversation. I'm intrigued by how much I understand by repeatedly listening to these conversations. I'm on my third conversation at present and I've already improved so much."

"The 10-10-10 challenge is a great intro to the Story Learning Method! I've had Latin so languages come more easily to me than my wife who had zero language studies. We did the challenge together and found it to be a perfect method for her!"

"I need a little more time to assess the class as I have moved slowly, but so far, so good! (I am in a traditional one-on-one class as well). I enjoyed the on line conversation yesterday with the teacher and other students."

"Very well thought-out course. It’s organized around a story that starts out slowly for absolute beginners, using basic vocabulary/grammar, getting more complex as it goes along. Very helpful videos on grammar, cognates, pronunciation, etc"
