About this video

Explore a short story written by famous authors as a means of diving deep into your chosen language. These videos are more tailored to advanced learners, although everyone can benefit from them.

Beginner: Focus on picking up some of the vocab you hear in the story - don't worry if you don't understand everything!

Intermediate: Try to see how much of the story you can understand with just subtitles in your chosen language, and then see the English translation.

Advanced: Simply listen to the video and look away from your screen to see how much of the story you can understand without subtitles.
