Most people think the way to write a best seller is to have a lot of talent and even more luck. As you will learn, there is a recipe for success, and luck may be the least important ingredient in creating a best seller. No one has cracked the code better than James Scott Bell. A best-selling author himself, and the author of the number-one best seller for writers, Plot & Structure, Mr. Bell has been teaching the principles of best-selling fiction for over 20 years, principles that apply to any genre or style.

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

Used this for my Spanish training
I started learning Spanish when I lived in Spanin years ago and have since forgotten a lot. I used this book as a resource to rejuvenate my love for the language and reacquaint my brain when the spoken word. It worked wonders! Very good and I would suggest it to anyone with decent comprehension or someone looking to punch up their skills. Very helpful for those with long commutes!

Spoiler alert: this method works
This is the most hassle-free way I've found to effectively refresh my Spanish skills. I listened to this book while doing housework, just as I would with any other audiobook, and with my attention partly on chores I was still able to both follow the story and gain exposure to a lot of helpful new vocabulary.
The title describes this book as "10 short stories," but it's actually one continuous story divided into ten chapters. That's good, because the continuity helps keep you listening. Each chapter concludes with a supplemental section that summarizes what's just happened, both in Spanish and English, then drills several dozen vocabulary words from the story, and finally asks a few multiple-choice reading comprehension questions. This is a solid formula for strengthening your skills, and it helps that the story, which is about an American student traveling for the first time in Latin America, is cute and easy to listen to.
What makes this book a standout though is the narrator. Mariela Arredondo is seriously A+, both as a language teacher and storyteller. Right from the introduction, a section that tends to be filler in most language-learning recordings, Mariela's warmth and energetic delivery is a welcome surprise that didn't even once tempt me to use the skip button. Her advice and encouragement will, I daresay, actually leave you feeling well-advised and encouraged. Even better, she's a great performer. Her expressive voice makes it easy to tell apart the different characters and their emotions, which both aids comprehension and breathes no small amount of life into the material.
The clarity of Mariela's delivery also means you can get the most bang for your buck by increasing the speed of the audio on repeat listens. The crystal clear pronunciation won't get muddled if you raise the tempo, and that makes this book a great practice tool for learning how to follow speedy Spanish speakers. It also makes the vocabulary sections doubly valuable. I found these sections to be way less boring than the drills in other language learning tapes, because they reinforce words you already have memorable context for from the story. The vocab sections also give you time to focus on Mariela's model pronunciation, and fine-tune your own.
I took Spanish in grade school for years, and since then I've made countless earnest, but short-lived, attempts to improve. If you've tried to read novels in Spanish, get through language-learning tapes, watch telenovelas for more than the unintentional comedy and so on - first of all, high five, and second, consider giving this book a try. With minimal commitment, it gets you back into the swing of learning; and, just as importantly, it paves the way toward being able to confidently read or listen to your own choice of material in Spanish.

Good choice for serious language learners
There are several things I like about this audible book:
1. The stories are good enough to keep me interested and are connected to one another.
2. The PDF included (which I imported into my Kindle library) allows me to follow along reading while listening.
3. The Audible app allows me to slow the audio down to .75 which improves my comprehension without making it too slow.
Keep up the good work Lingo Mastery!

Good Content
Lingo Mastery has a lot of good language learning content. This particular narator is excellent and the book is good as well. I have several books by this same author. There is a long list of vocabulary after each story. Some stories will have more relevent content than others. But overall I would definitely recommend this book.

Excellent way to learn Spanish!
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I've been trying to learn Spanish, and being able to put the language into context has been invaluable. These stories are a great way to set context, identify structure, and parse the language as a natural means of communication rather than just random words.
The narrator has a strong, clear voice and excellent pronunciation. I found it easy to follow the stories.
I'm very happy with this audiobook.
