"I love Olly's work - and you will too!". What does this book give you?. It's much easier to learn a new language when you're having fun, and research shows that if you're enjoying reading in a foreign language, you won't experience the usual feelings of frustration - 'It's too hard!".
I'm enjoying reading these Beginner short stories so much I immediately purchased the Intermediate book.
After learning Spanish online via the Duolingo app for quite a few months, I read that reading stories from a book helps to extending vocabulary and assisting greatly with understanding how the language is more widely used.
