Good to be challenged

I have used Olly's beginners series and enjoyed this style of learning. It was challenging but listening several times and then reading the story I understood quite a lot and then only needed to check out a few words.

Doesn’t give you the text so you can only listen instead of reading as well

Bit of a rip off as the intro goes on about reading as well as listening.
