Story
The experience of going through a story allows us to escape our lives for a moment, and so this is a perfect way to start learning a language. Going through a story activates your brain and imagination, thus increasing the chance to learn easily and not quit. Often, people start learning a new language only to give up after a couple of weeks. This is not due to the complexity of the language but because they become disheartened as the method they are using does not give the right motivation.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
Lyndon Baines Johnson was a man of great ambition and enormous greed, both of which, in 1963, would threaten to destroy him. In the end, President Johnson would use power from his personal connections in Texas and from the underworld and from the government to escape an untimely end in politics and to seize even greater power. President Johnson, the thirty-sixth president of the United States, was the driving force behind a conspiracy to murder President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. In The Man Who Killed Kennedy, you will find out how and why he did it. Political consultant, strategist, and Libertarian Roger Stone has gathered documents and used his firsthand knowledge to construct the ultimate tome to prove that LBJ was not only involved in JFK's assassination, but was in fact the mastermind. With 2013 being the fiftieth anniversary of JFK's assassination, this is the perfect time for The Man Who Killed Kennedy to be available to readers. The research and information in this book is unprecedented, and as Roger Stone lived through it, he's the perfect person to bring it to everyone's attention.

The experience of going through a story allows us to escape our lives for a moment, and so this is a perfect way to start learning a language. Going through a story activates your brain and imagination, thus increasing the chance to learn easily and not quit. Often, people start learning a new language only to give up after a couple of weeks. This is not due to the complexity of the language but because they become disheartened as the method they are using does not give the right motivation.

God send
I watched Olly’s YouTube videos first. He’s a wonderful human being. I tried Pimsleur first, and it was painfully slow. I happened upon this audiobook because I was looking for a replacement, and I love stories, so I searched out Russian short stories. When I made the connection that Olly was the creator (I usually tune out advertising), I was thrilled. When I found out there was an accompanying Kindle book that you could follow along with as you listened, I was beyond thrilled. I’ve only been learning Russian a few weeks, and taking this approach is like drinking from a firehose, but from a firehose of refreshing knowledge on a hot summer day of ignorance. This is exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you, Olly! Спасибо!

Great stories for this level
I read it alongside the Kindle book to get the most out of it. I read a chapter then listened to it. The stories are short and fun - like the kind I used to read as a youngster. It gives a real sense of accomplishment to read the stories (which I’m better at) and then get most of it when you hear it too (which I need to work at).
Great collection, I hope Olly (and other authors like Ignaty Dyakov) come out with more dual book+audio works. They really do a great job.

The PDF doesn't have the stories in it
It is so close to being great, but without the full story in the PDF it is rather hopeless to actually learn something. Still, the stories are pretty fun if you actually understand them. But that PDF... argh! I am so disappointed in that. I thought it would be like Olly is preaching on YouTube: Listen, read, and listen again, but no. Only a summery and a wordlist
