The content is helpful
The content is helpful, but I could not afford the price. You could argue that one should wait for a trial period until finances are more stable, but trial periods are meant to provide the opportunity to back out. And this company/website somehow can’t allow me on either an iPhone or a laptop to discontinue or pause my account. Sure, there’s Contact Support, but you don’t have immediate support during the week-end, which is a real problem if your trial period is finished and Fraud Alert has locked your card.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re genuinely glad to hear you found the content helpful, even though the subscription ultimately wasn’t the right fit financially at this time.
We completely understand that trial periods are there to help people decide whether a course is right for them, and we’re sorry for the frustration you experienced around managing your subscription.
To clarify, subscriptions can absolutely be cancelled during the trial period, and our support team is always happy to help with this. While support availability can sometimes be more limited over weekends, we do process cancellation and refund requests as quickly as possible once they reach our team.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, as feedback like this helps us continue improving both our courses and the overall user experience.
I signed up for the 7 day free course
I signed up for the 7 day free course. Having then reviewed the material I decided it wasn't for me so emailed customer support the following day to cancel (i.e., day 1 of the 7 day trial). No response. I sent two further emails on subsequent days requesting cancellation. No response. 7 day trial period is now up and my credit card has been charged for the full subscription, and still no response from support. There is no customer support contact number or chat, so email is your only option. I feel like I've given them sufficient time to respond before turning to Trustpilot, but providing a cancellable free trial that you ultimately can't cancel now seems like an effective way to generate subscriptions. @ Storylearning - I see your response on other Trustpilot posts is to contact support, but therein seems to lie the problem. Please advise how I can have my subscription refunded.
Update: @storylearning - My emails were sent to the correct support address you refer to (Trustpilot is not allowing me to include the actual email addresses here in this review). I have now sent a further email to this address as I have been charged for two subscriptions but you have only refunded me for one.
Update: For completeness, my subscription fees were refunded within a few days of my Trust pilot review (albeit with a significant negative £££ difference I assume related to exchange rates) and an offer to continue the original subscription for free by way of an apology for the frustrating experience

Hi Colin,
Thanks for your message and I am sorry to see you've had an issue cancelling your free trial.
I've checked our system and we have no emails from you in the inbox, which is why we hadn't cancelled your free trial - we never know you wanted to cancel!
Can you let me know what address you emailed to? Our support email is support@storylearning.com
I've also looked up your order in our system today and issued you a full refund for the programme as requested.
Very aggressive seeling tactics
This is a comment on the aggressive selling tactics rather than the course itself, which I never enrolled in. I was interested in the VIP option and so scheduled a call with one of their sales reps (Bree) . She knew very little about language learning, was following a script, and was calling from the US - in Europe it was 10pm. She basically said that unless I signed up THERE AND THEN with a credit card, I couldn't get a place, as - predictably - there was only one place left. It was hard-selling tactics 101 and left a pretty awful taste in my mouth. It's such a shame, as I probably would have signed up had she not been so aggressive. I asked if she could understand that at 10pm I'm not about to pay $4500 over the phone and would need to think about it, but she said that wouldn't work. so - sorry - no. A company that uses such tactics isn't one I feel comfortable with. (she also recorded the call without consent - as an fyi)

Hi Andy,
I am really sorry to hear about your experience. That sounds incredibly frustrating, and it is certainly not the helpful, mentor-like approach we aim for at StoryLearning.
We want our students to feel excited and comfortable starting their journey, not pressured by timing. I do want to clarify that we genuinely had a massive amount of demand for the VIP coaching program during that window, and we really were down to the very last spots. Places for nearly every language we offer ended up selling out completely. So while it might have sounded like a hard-sell tactic, we were simply trying to be transparent about how fast the program was filling up.
All the same, we are sorry you felt pressured. That was never the intention. We also take your concerns about the call recording very seriously. Please reach out to us at support@storylearning.com so we can look into this and address your experience personally.

Hi Jim!
It is great to hear you are using the "Short Stories in English" series for your ESL and ELL classes. We love hearing from teachers who are bringing the story method into the classroom; it is such a powerful way to help students engage with the language naturally.
I hear you on the American English version! While many of our current stories lean toward British English, we know how important regional variations are for students depending on where they are in the world. I will definitely pass that feedback along to our publishers.
Thanks for the support, and I hope your students keep enjoying the stories!

Different and enjoyable
I have really been enjoying this experience. Story learning has helped more with natural sentence structure and grammar, without feeling like you’re studying. I am learning Russian and it is a great story so far. Thanks

Hi Rebecca,
It is great to hear that you are enjoying the Russian course! Russian can definitely feel intimidating with its unique grammar, so I am glad the story is helping you pick up natural sentence structures without it feeling like "work."
That is the best part of the method—when you are caught up in a great story, your brain starts absorbing the patterns of the language automatically. It makes the whole process feel much less like a chore and more like an adventure.
Thanks for the feedback, and enjoy seeing where the story takes you next!

Hi!
It is wonderful to hear that you are finding the course both effective and enjoyable. We really believe that when you are actually having fun with a story, the learning part tends to take care of itself.
I am also glad to hear you have had a good experience with our support. We know that even with a great method, it helps to know someone is there if you run into a question.
Thanks for the support and keep enjoying the journey!

Hi!
It is great to hear you are finding the method so effective. You have described exactly why we focus on stories: when you can identify with the setting and the characters, your brain stops fighting the language and starts absorbing it.
That intuitive "pick-up" of vocabulary is the magic of context. Instead of memorizing a list, you are remembering a moment in a story, which makes the words stick so much better.
We are glad you are enjoying this natural way of learning!

Deze leermethode is echt de mijne
Deze leermethode is echt de mijne. Ongemerkt (bijna dan) leer je de taal door te luisteren, te lezen en te herhalen.
Helemaal gericht op begrijpen en conversatie. En toch pik je de grammatica ook op.
Ik ben wel een boekenwurm, dus dat helpt ook.

Beste,
Het klinkt alsof je de perfecte match hebt gevonden voor de boekenwurm in jezelf! Het is geweldig om te horen dat je zo geniet van het proces van luisteren, lezen en herhalen.
Die "onopgemerkte" manier van leren is precies wat we nastreven. Wanneer je je richt op het begrijpen van het verhaal en het voorbereiden op conversatie, volgt de grammatica meestal vanzelf. Het is veel leuker om die patronen op te pikken via een goed boek dan door droge regels uit het hoofd te leren.
Veel leesplezier en blijf genieten van de verhalen!

Hi!
It sounds like you have found the perfect match for your inner bookworm! It is great to hear that you are enjoying the process of listening, reading, and repeating.
That "hidden" way of learning is exactly what we aim for. When you focus on understanding the story and preparing for conversation, the grammar tends to just tag along naturally. It is much more enjoyable to pick up those patterns through a good book than by memorising dry rules.
Happy reading, and keep enjoying the stories!

I have found the course the best I’ve seen to intelligently engage one’s brain in logically learning through imagination (story), and sense (sound), and technique (grammar), without the need for memorising great lists of unconnected vocabulary and rules of grammar. It’s quite encouraging and positive. Highly recommended.

Hi John,
It is great to hear that the method is clicking for you. You hit on exactly why we love stories: they engage your imagination and your senses at the same time.
We are big believers that the brain is much better at absorbing a language when it has a plot and characters to latch onto, rather than just staring at a list of disconnected words. It is much more encouraging to see the grammar working in action instead of trying to memorize it by rote.
Thanks for the high recommendation, and enjoy the rest of the course!

StoryLearning Has Greatly Improved My Courage Speaking Spanish

Hi Letitia,
It is wonderful to hear that your confidence is growing. One of the biggest hurdles in learning a language is finding the courage to actually speak it, so taking that step to find a partner is a huge win.
I am glad the exercises we designed for speaking practice are helping you put what you learn into action. Improving your pronunciation and reading skills is a great foundation, but using the language with another person is where it all starts to feel real.
Keep up that momentum with your Spanish partner!

I can’t cancel my account!
I’ve been trying to cancel my account for a number of days, but they will not send confirmation. I’ve been trying for many days and contacted many ways. Instructions are to email support and while they send an initial receipt of request, they never follow up to confirm cancellation. They also say if I don’t receive confirmation at the end of the trial period, I will be billed $300.
Update: Did eventually received confirmation, but it’s stressful they don’t automatically accept cancellations like most sites. It was manually reviewed 5 days after my first request. Wish this company would make cancelling as easy as it was to sign up.

Hi Jennifer,
I am glad you eventually received your confirmation, but I am truly sorry for the stress the delay caused you. That is definitely not the experience we want our students to have when they are trying to manage their accounts.
While we do have a manual review process for some requests, five days is longer than it should take. We know how important it is to feel confident that you won't be billed unexpectedly, and your feedback about making the cancellation process as seamless as signing up is very fair.
Thank you for your patience while we got this sorted. If you ever decide to come back to your language journey in the future, we would love to have you back.

Lifetime Course Access Revoked After…
Lifetime Course Access Revoked After Purchase
I purchased a course from StoryLearning.com in 2021. At the time, they clearly advertised it as “lifetime access” (I’ve attached a screenshot from their FAQ confirming this). The course was self-paced, and I expected to return to it anytime.
Recently, I tried logging in and found I could no longer access the course. I contacted their support team multiple times over several weeks and received no response at all.
This is incredibly frustrating — I paid for lifetime access, and they’ve essentially cut me off from what I paid for with zero explanation.
If anyone else has had a similar issue — did you ever get it resolved? Any tips for getting access restored?

It is great to hear you are finding the course both fun and effective. You hit on a really important point: the method works best when you put in the time to engage with the stories.
We are also glad you are enjoying the cultural side and the Latin American versions. Providing that specific context is a big part of making the language feel real rather than just a set of rules. It sounds like you are making the most of the comprehensive approach we built into the program.
Keep up the great work with your studies!

It’s great to hear that you’re seeing the payoff from the method. You’re spot on about the "application" part. It does take a bit of showing up every day, but that’s how the real progress happens.
We appreciate the honest feedback on the price and the speaking practice. We try to make sure that lifetime access provides long-term value, even if the initial cost feels a bit higher. Regarding the speaking side, since our method focuses so much on "Input" first to build your internal map of the language, it can definitely feel different from traditional classes.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and we’re glad the stories are keeping things interesting for you!
Interesting Stories at Just the Right Level but with Challenges!
I have many levels of StoryLearning in several languages (not all completed yet...) and so far have found them all to be at just the right level to refresh some vocabulary but keep me challenged to learn more--and absorb the grammar without having to learn it by rote. The variety of stories keeps me interested in going on to the next.

Hi Wayne,
It’s great to see you’re exploring so many different languages with us. Keeping several courses on the go is a challenge, but it’s the best way to keep things fresh.
I’m really glad the stories are hitting that balance for you. We aim to provide enough familiar ground to build confidence while introducing just enough new material to keep your brain working. Learning grammar through absorption rather than rote memorisation is exactly why we use this method. It just feels more natural that way.
It is also good to know that the native speaker videos are adding that extra value to your experience. Thanks for being such a long-term part of the StoryLearning community.

Level Appropriate Content is key
I've been using StoryLearning for many years now. I've taken many German language courses and now I've moved on to Spanish because there's a larger Spanish language population where I live and I'd really like to be able to converse with them in their own language instead of relying on whatever English they know. StoryLearning has engaging, level appropriate content that challenges you to learn without overwhelming you with grammar that it frustratingly complicated. The videos that accompany the courses are valuable for enhancing your learning experience and many of their instructors are native speakers.

It’s great to have you with us after all these years! Moving from German to Spanish is a big jump, but it makes total sense given the community around you. There’s no better motivation than wanting to have real conversations with your neighbours.
I’m glad to hear the Spanish content is hitting that "sweet spot". Challenging enough to keep you growing, but not so heavy on the grammar that it feels like a chore. That’s exactly what we aim for. Our instructors and native speakers work hard to keep those videos useful, so it’s awesome to know they’re helping you bridge the gap to real-world speaking.
Good luck with your Spanish journey!

You’ve hit on the exact philosophy behind why we do what we do. Learning a language through stories mimics that natural "immersion" we all had as kids—picking things up through context rather than staring at grammar charts.
It’s awesome to hear that this approach is resonating with you. There really is no better way to make the language stick than by just living in the story.
Words in context is key

It's great to hear that you've made that jump from apps to context. Most of us have been through the "app phase," but there's a big difference between clicking buttons and actually seeing how a language lives inside a story.
You hit the nail on the head. Context is exactly how the brain is designed to retain information. It’s much easier to remember a phrase when it’s tied to a character or a plot point rather than just a floating flashcard.
Glad to have you with us for this next stage of your journey!
