Hello Listener, Learning Spanish? That’s pretty epic. If you haven’t realized this already... the amount of people actually choosing to learn Spanish (or any language for that matter), setting goals, and learning despite whatever excuse and distraction daily life throws at them... is very, very small. It’s very easy to do nothing... and get nothing done. Lots of people do that. But learning Spanish and going from simple words to speaking and understanding comfortably? It’s worth stopping for a moment to admire your hard work and progress. It’s pretty EPIC. And knowing how much dedicated students invest in a language, it only makes sense to help you master Spanish for less cash with an EPIC sale! Save 15% on... Show more
