Andrea Vernon always thought she would spend her life living in Paris writing thought-provoking historical novels all day and sipping wine on the Seine all night. But the reality is she's drowning in debt, has no prospects, and is forced to move back to Queens, where her parents remind her daily that they are very interested in grandchildren. Then, one morning, she is kidnapped, interviewed, and hired as an administrative assistant by the Corporation for UltraHuman Protection. Superheroes for hire, using their powers for good. What could possibly go wrong?

This program is one of the best ways I’ve found to learn a language. I’ve learned Spanish this way and now German. One thing though. If you get the program from Pimsleur itself there are other bonuses that I didn’t know about.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 907
The universe is conspiring against Ava Breevort. As if flying back to Phoenix to bury a childhood friend wasn't hell enough, a cloud of volcanic ash traveling from overseas delayed her flight back home to Boston. Her last ditch attempt to salvage the trip was thwarted by an arrogant Scotsman, Caleb Scott, who steals a first class seat out from under her. Then over the course of their journey home, their antagonism somehow lands them in bed for the steamiest layover Ava's ever had. And that's all it was - until Caleb shows up on her doorstep.

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

Reviewed: 02-01-18
Would you listen to Pimsleur German Level 1 Lessons 6-10 again? Why?
I re-listen to all of the Pimsleur language learning audio books I have so I can learn the language I'm learning better.
What other book might you compare Pimsleur German Level 1 Lessons 6-10 to and why?
Any other Pimsleur language lesson audiobook is good to listen to if you want to learn a language. I have learned how to habla espanol this way and I am now learning German.
What does Pimsleur bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
There is no story except for the conversations that you learn to say and answer throughout the audiobook lessons.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
no film
Any additional comments?
This is a language learning book. All of Pimsleur's language learning audiobooks are amazing. I guarantee that by the end of the first 5 lessons you will be able to have a simple conversation.. and at the end of 20 you'll understand them and really be able to ask for what you need. Worth it!!

Here at Audible, we know just how much of an impact a voice can have on a story - taking simple words and filling them with elation, wonderment, tragedy, or pure satisfaction. We rely on our narrators every day to bring our favorite stories and characters to life - to introduce us to new authors and genres, or even to a new (perhaps longer) commute. And though our narrators are the best story tellers in the business, it's usually someone else's that they're telling.

Lottie just knows that her boyfriend is going to propose during lunch at one of London’s fanciest restaurants. But when his big question involves a trip abroad, not a trip down the aisle, she’s completely crushed. So when Ben, an old flame, calls her out of the blue and reminds Lottie of their pact to get married if they were both still single at 30, she jumps at the chance. No formal dates - just a quick march to the altar and a honeymoon on Ikonos, the sun-drenched Greek island where they first met years ago. Their family and friends are horrified. Fliss, Lottie’s older sister, knows that Lottie can be impulsive - but surely this is her worst decision yet.

If you could sum up Spanish Phase 1, Unit 11-15 in three words, what would they be?
Amazing!! I have learned more from the Pimsleur method than other method I have tried to learn Spanish. After a year of working on Rosetta Stone.. I knew lots of words but couldn't put them into sentences. After just 3 weeks of doing Pimsleur I could put together sentences and felt I had achieved more than in the last year!!
Any additional comments?
It really helps if you practice these every day. Sometimes I redo lessons to reinforce the vocabulary
Works like a charm for me!!
