Fantastic and beautifully produced

What an inspiring, engaging and fantastic way to practice your listening skills in Spanish! I find this an incredibly valuable resource to go alongside the Duolingo app and accompanies me in my car and at my day job. Great stories and so professionally made, I am so grateful for all the hard work that must go into making these easy to follow but still interesting to listen to. Truly outstanding work.
