"This course is much more extensive than I expected. There are excellent lessons on all of the important aspects of language learning, all with the idea of grounding oneself in a story to learn from fun and useful content."

"I’m very much enjoying this course so far! I majored in Spanish but am a bit rusty, as I graduated almost 15 years ago. This course has taught me a lot already! The Spanish tutor is a great teacher and relaxing to listen to. :)"

"Sorry, Olly, for being such a jerk, but I did not even finish the Preposition Lessons. I got as far as 29 days but still have one to go. I bought the $95 lessons for Intermediate Italian lessons, but did not start them yet. I hope to"

"I've been studying Japanese for 2 years and wondered whether the Beginner Course would be too easy. While the grammar was familiar (as expected), my literacy and fluency have really improved. I recommend this to anyone learning Japanese."

"Olly has a wonderful attitude towards grammar and learning. Any self-consciousness I felt at never having learned my own language's grammar evaporated as he explained his journey toward learning and now teaching. I'm grateful I found this."

"One week in and I've already learned more than I have with a 2-year streak on other platforms. The methodology and the supporting explanations and tests just feel much more coherent without being overly rigid."

"Growing up in Luxembourg, I've acquired 5 languages through the school system-but we were never taught how we learned! StoryLearning has been a revelation, it comes natural, is super intuitive and just a tonne of fun! I highly recommend it!"

"I started the course with quite a bit of understanding of the language. After a few issues with practice exercises, I had a hiatus with it, but once I returned to it, I gained an appreciation for explanations. It is a good course after all."

"I came into the course not expecting much, previous experiences with the likes of Duolingo soured me to language learning online, yes you learn words but no structure, I am glad I gave Story Learning a go as so far I am actually learning"
