"Idioms add color to a language, but can be very difficult to understand. Holger does a great job of explaining what the idiom means, when you would use it, and some history behind the evolution of the idiom."

"I love this course! Everything in one place to make life easier. There are really useful phrases here for everyday chat and how to use them, loads of listening to real people talking and, my favourite, quirky little stories to read."

"I am now at Mission 3 of Grammar Hero. It is awesome. The long audio, 12 to 15 minutes, is just the greatest way to learn. The combination of reading the transcript, listening to the audio, and the grammar lesson is working so well!"

"Loving the series so far. It is a definite step up from Uncovered but I am enjoying it and understanding most of what is going on even if I don't understand every word. I am trusting in 'the process' and looking forward to learning more."

"I chose the Spanish course since Spanish is my best "second" language. The story is truly interesting, I'm excited for Conversations 2 in Spanish, and I can see that I'm not yet ready to go through the course in other languages. Helpful!!"

"I believe regular consistency with French uncovered (along with some supplimentary materials) has got me to lower intermediate (A2/ B1) in 3 months, which others courses could not do in 2.5 years. Now constantly working to improve."

"I've studied Spanish for a few years now, but I would always be frustrated that I couldn't understand the grammar. After completing the first chapter and using the story learning method, it has made learning Spanish a lot more easier."

"After the 1st lesson, I really enjoy the approach. It's aimed at an Intermediate's "zone of proximal development," challenging but not impossible. Nice to let go of the usual anxieties associated with normal speed conversations!"

"With very little German, I slowly worked my way through Olly’s Short Stories in German. With every subsequent reading (and listening) my understanding increased. This convinced me Olly’s enjoyable storytelling method was perfect for me."

"I really like the 30 days italian challenge imperfetto/passato prossimo. I’m at day 15 and I’mreally beginning to feel that ‘the Brain wash’ is beginning to work. I’m beginning to recognize why you must use the imperfetto o passato prossima"

"The 30-Day Challenge with the subjunctive is terrific. I was honestly mystiied about the subjunctive mood and how to use it. So much good practical usage information is revealed over the course of listening to the story, then reading it too"

"The 30-day challenges are really a low-stress way to master something (even as complicated as the subjunctive!). Once again, the story propels you through, and the daily practice insures that you absorb the material. I highly recommend it!"
