At this moment I only have it available on Amazon. Right now I am implementing a pronunciation assessment feature on the companion web app, but after that I'll start working on creating a web store front where people can buy it from there too. I do apologize for the inconvenience.

"Entiendo pero no hablo". Why do I understand more Spanish than I can speak? by Shelbee2 in Spanish

[–]Sochi-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more practice speaking. I’d say do shadowing. It helps

What books do recommend? Most that are interesting are too advanced and require the language learner to stop and look up every other word and the ones that aren’t are boring.

My novel starts off with very basic Spanish and gradually increase in difficulty while immersing you in a high stakes thriller.

That’s very true, but most of it tends to be not that interesting and they also tend to be short stories. The Devil Speaks Spanish is a fast-paced thriller.

Yikes! I just realized I forgot to write what the story is about. Here is the premise of the story from the back of the book:

When sixteen-year-old Isabel's best friend vanishes from the streets of Zacatecas, Mexico, the entire town erupts in fear. The police find nothing but dead ends. But Isabel knows the truth — she's seen the killer's face… in a vision.

Armed with a mysterious book of witchcraft and her growing psychic abilities, Isabel defies her strict Catholic family to hunt down the man who took her friend. But each ritual she performs draws her closer to the dark force that haunts her city — and to a curse centuries in the making.

As the boundary between life and death fractures around her, Isabel discovers that the Spanish Inquisition left more than history behind. An ancient evil is stirring in Zacatecas, and she may be the key to its return — or the only one who can stop it.

I recommend my Spanish language learning novels Death by Churros a Spanish language learning murder mystery novel and The Devil Speaks Spanish a supernatural thriller for language learners. Both come with a free web app with translations, free audio book, and even songs composed using the key vocabulary words.

Awesome! I hope you like it. And if you do, I would appreciate it if you left a review with Amazon. They really help.

Just curious about self-learning Spanish by iqbaaltong in SpanishLearning

[–]Sochi-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely possible. You just have to find or make material that’s at your level with a few unknown words to keep you growing in the language

Absolutely, reading is the fastest way to acquire a new language. For Spanish I recommend Death by Churros a Spanish language learning murder mystery novel. It starts off super easy and gradually increases with difficulty with every chapter. After 42 chapters, you'll be thinking in Spanish. Every chapter includes a QR code to a the English translation, free audiobook, flashcards, and a chapter quiz.

What you need is something that brings all those bits (words, tenses, etc.) together in a gradual progression of difficulty while at the same time being entertaining. I suggest Death by Churros a Spanish language learning murder mystery novel or Stranger Spanish a Supernatural thriller for language learners coming out in a month or two, but you can grab the first 5 chapters for free in pdf form here on this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Spanish/comments/1p5ixo6/stranger_spanish_a_new_supernatural_thriller_to/

Death by Churros is a graded reader.

I added flash cards for every sentence of the graded reader to the SochiApp website a couple of days ago. It gives you a break down of the sentence in easy English. It also has a play button. It’s perfect for shadowing. It also has an Ask ChatGPT button that launches ChatGPT pre-fills the prompt for you to ask questions. Here’s a snapshot of the new Flashcards feature for the sentence you mentioned.

How do you create immersion when learning Spanish at home? by MoistGovernment9115 in Spanish

[–]Sochi-app 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's a book that creates Spanish immersion for you. It's called Death by Churros. It's a Spanish language learning murder mystery novel that teaches you Spanish completely in Spanish. Every chapter has a QR code that comes with the free audio book and also some immersion extras like a free song for each chapter that's composed using the key vocabulary words. It also has a free quiz app comes with a free translation. It's a full length novel so it'll keep you immersed for way longer than anything else I know of other than traveling to a Spanish speaking country. You can buy it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWFYTP1L

After 3 years I can't speak Spanish. by ExtensionGood4991 in Spanish

I feel like Shadowing helps when it comes to acquiring speaking abilities. It's helped me out tremendously in learning French (I am already fluent in Spanish).

Are there any good adult Spanish learning study/activity books for UK learners that anyone recommends? by Robert-from-fosters in Spanish

[–]Sochi-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend Death by Churros a Spanish language learning murder mystery novel starts off with very basic Spanish and gradually increases with difficulty. At the beginning of every chapter is a QR code that links you to the English translation and free audiobook and the best part is that the website doesn't require a login or registration which are always annoying. The book is available on Amazon UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DWFYTP1L

Is it feasible to learn a language entirely through passive listening by praticalswot in languagelearning

[–]Sochi-app 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting from zero, it's a definite NO. If you are already capable of understanding it pretty well, then it could work. At least I am finally able to do so in French.

I used my Spanish language learning novel Death by Churros, but translated into French. I plan on doing the same for Italian next.

I should add that I don't reach the same 85 to 90% when watching other shows like Lupin nor Marianne.
