Becoming fluent in Spanish is a bucket list item for me. I’ve been trying different avenues at the same time to get better at it—Babbel, movies in Spanish with English subtitles, and these audiobooks.
This audiobook series consists of stating an English sentence once and then repeating it in Spanish twice. Is it tedious and likely a less effective way to learn than other options? Yes. Did I space out for a few minutes sometimes while driving and miss information? Absolutely. Still, I now know more verb conjugations and vocabulary than before, and this audiobook form is a method that works with my current situation. So I’m sticking with it. I plan to listen to the last half of this one 1-2x more to really internalize it because listening to it once is definitely not enough.
This is just the level I needed. I am not really learning new words/phrases from these audiobooks so much as I am practicing recalling Spanish words faster. That is a skill the apps and printed books don't do as well. Maybe because I'm using sound so heavily with an audiobook.
