Ever Felt Frustrated Listening to Fast Spanish?

Good question! There are a lot of elements that make Conversations so special...

• Conversations is based entirely on dialogue — people speaking to other people in Spanish! This means you can devote your time entirely to listening to spoken language, as if you were permanently surrounded by Spanish friends, making it a very natural way to learn.
• But it's not just any old dialogue… Conversations tells a compelling story that will keep you motivated and bring you back every day to find out "what happened next"!
• The story evolves over 20 chapters, which makes it substantial material that will have you engrossed until the end.

  
  

  All this time spent listening is what will result in a transformation in your listening skills, as you realise that all that fun you were having was actually extremely effective learning in disguise… which, of course, is exactly what it should be!
• The conversation between the characters is completely natural conversation, so you learn a colloquial, everyday style of speech that you don't get from books or other written material, so you can quickly improve your ability to understand and take part in real conversations yourself.
• The level of the conversations is not too high. The language used has been carefully controlled so it's ideal for intermediate level learners, so that you can listen without getting frustrated or overwhelmed. 

  
  

  This is Comprehensible Input in action — I've worked closely with experienced teachers to ensure the language in Conversations is expertly pitched at that "+1" level, while also being natural.
• The main feedback from early testing was that people wanted more slang and expressions, so Conversations is stuffed full of juicy colloquial language that real people use with their friends and in daily life, which means you'll learn what you don't get in your textbook and learn to cope with casual conversations faster than before.
• The actors speak with a variety of accents, so you learn to understand different accents and avoid nasty surprises out in the real world when you hear a new accent for the first time!
• The characters don't speak too slowly! In Conversations, you get used to understanding fast speech, for 3–5 minutes at a time in each track, so you truly spend time listening to the language and build the ability to concentrate for longer.
• Each conversation is accompanied by a complete transcript, so you can see word-for-word exactly what is said. By listening and reading at the same time, you improve your listening comprehension...fast! 

  
  

  You'll be able to keep up with faster passages, identify words you didn't understand, and get used to how pronunciation changes in fast speech — in short, the transcript holds the key to the kingdom!
• Every conversation comes with a full English translation, and quick-reference bilingual word lists of all the difficult vocabulary, so you can quickly look up anything you don't understand without losing the flow.

This is smart, efficient material that removes every obstacle you can think of to true learning.

Of course, there is much more besides this… You have:

• Beautiful high-quality audio so you can hear the pronunciation clearly as if you were in the room with the characters.
• Step-by-step advice from me about exactly how to study with the Conversations material so you can learn to study in the most efficient way.

I could go on, but hopefully you can see by now that what you've got here is an opportunity to improve your language skills that really is something new, exciting, and extremely powerful!
