Cons
This one is more produced (not necessarily a good thing) and uses extremely stereotypical voices for some characters. It is extremely stereotypical.
Highlights
Quality
So good and combined with the audiobook it's an amazing resource.
This type of book is very difficult to find, and olly does a great job with the material.
I look forward to finishing it and then rereading it to become more comfortable with the language.
The conversation seems more natural, too, which i expect will be even clearer with the audio.
Competitiveness
It'll be more useful when i take a trip there to know some of the specific lingo.
But my spanish then was at a higher level than the target group, and i didn't invest in the audio.
