Our mission
At Blazing Language, we help you actually stick with language learning. We combine bite-sized stories (about 5 minutes each), native-quality audio, and ready-to-use Anki flashcard decks so you can focus on learning—not on wrangling apps or building decks from scratch.
What you’ll find here
-
Bilingual stories (English + target language) in 16 genres—children’s tales, fairy tales, spy thrillers, westerns, and more.
-
Levels A1–C2, clearly labeled so you can start where you are and climb with confidence.
-
Native-quality audio for every story, so you can train your ear and your pronunciation.
-
Ready-made Anki decks with the key vocabulary from each story, optimized for spaced repetition.
-
A simple routine that fits busy lives: ~5 minutes of story + a few minutes of cards = compounding wins.
Who we’re for
-
Self-learners who love stories and prefer practical methods.
-
Fans of Gabriel Wyner’s Forever Fluent approach who want the benefits without the time cost of building every deck.
-
Teachers looking for level-appropriate materials with audio and SRS-friendly vocab.
Languages & scope
We’re starting with Spanish, French, and Portuguese (with German and Italian next) and will expand over time. Each language will include a handful of free stories plus all-access via subscription.

How to get started
-
Pick your language and level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).
-
Choose a story, listen in English once, then listen in the target language daily.
-
Study the Anki deck for that story each day for a week.
-
Move to the next story once you understand ~80–90% without looking things up.
