"I went from 1 1/2 hrs first lesson, to 15 min by lesson 8. I just had to get the basics of grammar fully in mind and in a notebook. This repetitive focus on the 4 past tenses within a story is genius. It is getting familiar! Thank you!"

"I have spent at least half an hour each day on the first 13 lessons of the 30 day challenge. I can see slow, steady, and improved understanding of the past tenses. Being able to read along as I listen to the audio is terrific."

"So far Olly's course has been tremendous helpful and informative. I'm already an online English tutor, but he's presented material and ideas I wouldn't have thought of on my own. Definitely worth the cost!"

"So far this course has given me a sense that I might actually be able to do achieve what has seemed very difficult to me before - learn a new language. It's shifted me from the feeling of impossibility to possibility."

"I have been stuck at the B1 level for quite some time now. Your course is incredible. After 8 days, I feel confident that I am "breaking through" the comprehension barrier. I look forward to my "lesson" every day. Thank you so much."

"I had searched for Spanish story books for my level, because I thought stories and songs would really help me get through the intermediate stage. When I came upon Spanish Uncovered, I jumped in! Now I am in the 30 day past tenses challenge!"

"More effective after one chapter and two days of work in building my speaking confidence and maximizing my motivation than the summer course I'm also taking which is 2 and a half hours a day four days a week and has gone on for a month."

"I'm enjoying the course, and I like the format of reading the story first then looking at the details. I'm looking forward to starting to 'immerse' myself into other ways of listening to Italian."

"Most effective in this course in my opinion is the repetition of the "trigger words" that are followed by the subjunctive, as well as the explanations for when the same words could also use the indicative."

"Wow wow wow. This is a beautiful course yet pretty pricy for some people - but I don't regret it. It is definitely beyond my comfort zone, but as you listen and read the transcript, your understanding and listening will improve. Very nice."

"This is really good! Extensive listening and reading over and over 25 times! It’s in a way a fine tuning of the ears. I am thrilled - can’t wait to arrive at the end and see how far I got. Then I might go back to the beginning and go again."

"I love the listening - reading - speaking component of this course. It is engaging to be involved in learning through story. Listening and speaking more than thinking about vocabulary and grammar is the way to go. It's more natural. Thanks."

"I am enjoying the past tenses course and have already learned how to use the different tenses within the context of a story. I have found Alba’s explanations of the different tenses easy to understand and her advice useful. Regards Ronald"
