The Superpolyglotbros (aka Matthew and Michael Youlden) are twin brothers and professional language coaches with over 20 languages between them. They’ve spent years perfecting a unique approach to language learning that puts immediate understanding and effortless interaction at its heart. Their technique has helped them learn Turkish in a week and teach Danish in just five days by immersing themselves and their students in the day to day use of a language.
Learning a language doesn’t have to be difficult – sitting through hours of classes, reading boring lists of vocabulary or listening to someone trying to explain all that grammar. Let the Superpolyglotbros take you with them on a journey through the basics of Spanish. Full of personality and humour, this is a conversational guide to help you build the phrases and exchanges you actually need. With this original audiobook, you’ll be entertained as you learn, building up all the skills you need to get by and much more in just under 10 hours of listening.
Based on 30 real-life scenarios packed with essential everyday vocabulary, listeners will be taken on an audio immersive trip of a typical Spanish-speaking place complete with a host of real-world scenarios to help them learn language in context – whether it be meeting new people, exploring a new city or ordering in a restaurant with their new amigos. Perfectly tailored for audio, and thanks to the brothers’ innovative method of gradual immersion, spaced repetition and complete guidance throughout the course, students will be forming their own sentences and making the language their own in ways they never thought they could.
With each lesson lasting around 15-20 minutes, this course can easily fit in the tightest of schedules, allowing students to learn whenever and wherever they choose. Tricky subjects such as grammar and pronunciation are explained in a simple and understandable manner, with easy and innovative ways of picking up new vocabulary peppered throughout.
Drawing upon their own methods of learning together and a wealth of experience at all levels of teaching, the twins strongly believe that anyone, with the right tools and a healthy dose of fun, can learn a new language.
Beginners Spanish is available to pre-order on Audible UK now here.
About the Superpolyglotbros
With over ten years of professional experience in the language industry, from translation and interpreting to second language instruction and acquisition, from accent coaching to subtitling films, from bilingual education for pre-schoolers to linguistics seminars; if there’s something to do with ‘languages’, it’s safe to say they’ve done it.
Their linguistic abilities feature extensively in international media, with the twins making regular appearances on TV, radio and social media.
Michael commented: “Beginners Spanish gets learners immediately involved with the language in an easy and unique way so that they then have the confidence to speak it themselves. Language learning is so much more than just learning vocabulary and rules. Everyone is able to learn another language, if not several, and we want to show people that they can pick up Spanish a lot quicker than they think or are lead to believe.”
Matthew added: “We personally love audiobooks because they’re also really handy for language learning; they allow you to not only practise your aural skills but can also be used “on the go”, allowing you to learn wherever and however you like! From a language series to a mystery thriller in the language you’re learning, there’s an audiobook for everyone!”
Harriet Poland, Commissioning Editor at Audible UK said: “As someone who’s struggled to learn Spanish since school, I thought it might be impossible, but Michael and Matthew have created something that’s crystal clear, engaging and totally unique. This is a completely new way to learn languages, immersing listeners in real world situations and building up a conversation portfolio that actually sticks. Beginner’s Spanish demonstrates what’s possible when you create something with only listeners in mind, and we’re hugely excited about continuing the series.”
I have never attempted to learn Spanish, so I was surprised how easily this was to pick up, it seamlessly takes you through situations that you are likely to encounter as you arive in Spain and whilst you are there… I found the narration easy to listen to.
I like the short 15/20 minute lessons as you can easily fit these in whilst having a cuppa or on a commute?
Highly recommend this and cannot wait to see what other languages they will release…
