  Learn Conversational Haitian Creole Vol. 2 is an audio course for beginners or for anyone who struggles with becoming fluent in Haitian Creole. The focus of this course is to practice speaking conversational Haitian Creole from the very first lesson. Each lesson contains useful everyday phrases related to a specific topic. 
  In these lessons, you’ll be introduced to several “conversation connectors”. Phrases like “as a matter of fact”, “frankly speaking”, “as you already know” and more. By using such phrases, your conversations will have a more natural flow. You will also expand your vocabulary and talk about daily activities, work, plans, and needs. 
  Based on techniques and strategies that make language learners succeed: 
  Learn in short bursts every day. Each lesson takes about 10–15 minutes to complete. 
  Learn in context. Isolated words or random sentences won’t get you far. By learning phrases related to a specific topic or situation, you will see much better results. 
  Focus on high-frequency words. Starting with the most frequently used words will boost your comprehension and communication in your target language. 
  Review the material. Repeating the phrases at certain specified intervals is a powerful technique to help your memory absorb and recall what you have learned. 
  Listen to native speakers. All the phrases are translated and spoken by native speakers.

  I Came All This Way to Meet You...

  Named a Best Book of the Year by: Time * New Yorker * Sunday Times (UK) 
  From New York Times bestselling author Jami Attenberg comes a dazzling memoir about unlocking and embracing her creativity—and how it saved her life.  
  In this brilliant, fierce, and funny memoir of transformation, Jami Attenberg—described as a “master of modern fiction” (Entertainment Weekly) and the “poet laureate of difficult families” (Kirkus Reviews)—reveals the defining moments that pushed her to create a life, and voice, she could claim for herself. What does it take to devote oneself to art? What does it mean to own one’s ideas? What does the world look like for a woman moving solo through it? 
  As the daughter of a traveling salesman in the Midwest, Attenberg was drawn to a life on the road. Frustrated by quotidian jobs and hungry for inspiration and fresh experiences, her wanderlust led her across the country and eventually on travels around the globe. Through it all she grapples with questions of mortality, otherworldliness, and what we leave behind. 
  It is during these adventures that she begins to reflect on the experiences of her youth—the trauma, the challenges, the risks she has taken. Driving across America on self-funded book tours, sometimes crashing on couches when she was broke, she keeps writing: in researching articles for magazines, jotting down ideas for novels, and refining her craft, she grows as an artist and increasingly learns to trust her gut and, ultimately, herself. 
  Exploring themes of friendship, independence, class, and drive, I Came All This Way to Meet You is an inspiring story of finding one’s way home—emotionally, artistically, and physically—and an examination of art and individuality that will resonate with anyone determined to listen to their own creative calling.

  We broke our new series on learning Romanian down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.  
  This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Romanian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
  In Unit 1 you will hear Romanian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Romanian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.  
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Romanian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Romanian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Romanian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

  • 0

  This course helps you refine your Spanish pronunciation and develop an authentic accent. Unlike basic language programs that focus on vocabulary and grammar, this one dives deep into phonetics and the cultural nuances that shape Spanish speech. 
  You’ll start with Spanish phonetics, mastering vowel consistency, consonant articulation, and stress patterns. You'll learn the precise tongue placement, resonance, and breath control needed for accurate pronunciation. Key skills include producing pure vowels (without English diphthongs), articulating challenging sounds like the rolled "r" and soft "d," mastering Spanish stress and rhythm, and using natural intonation for statements, questions, and emotions. 
  Through structured practice, including minimal pair exercises, you'll sharpen your ability to distinguish similar sounds and correct common pronunciation mistakes. You’ll also explore how culture influences accents, helping you connect more deeply with Spanish-speaking communities. 
  A media study component teaches you how to improve pronunciation by learning from films, TV, music, and podcasts. The course wraps up with an in-depth look at major dialects, including Castilian, Caribbean, Mexican, Andean, and Rioplatense Spanish. 
  Perfect for intermediate to advanced learners, accent reduction students, cultural immersion travelers, and professionals.
