Use more audiobooks people!

Spotify has many audiobooks available and ready to use with its premium service. What I do is buy the physical copy and read along. You can also adjust the reading speed to your preference.

Why do I suggest audiobooks?
A critical feature of early language learning/acquisition is listening. If you try to read and speak without ever listening to your target language, you can establish many bad habits. Similar to babies (who undergo the same acquisition process as us, just faster due to more frequent exposure), lots of listening occurs before fluent speech production ensues.

Featured books:
Only Richard’s has graded readers in many languages. Spanish is one of the few which has three, but Russian, Italian, Swedish, French, etc. are also offered.

Each book is divided into 8 stories, each having 3 short chapters. The end of every chapter has a summary, vocabulary list of bold words in the chapter, and a multiple-choice summary.

Additionally, the books have an audio on Spotify. The reading is well pronounced and animated.

CEFR level of each book:
- Beginner A2-B1
- Intermediate B1-B2
