Storytell and Blinkist – A recommendation :)

STORYTELL and BLINKIST – A Recommendation for Curious People – Enjoy!

Dear readers,

Just a very brief entry because it is very hot in Barcelona…

I just want to recommend you two applications I really like. One of them has been recommended to me by a good friend of mine, the other one by somebody from the Sócrates Philosophy Group in Barcelona, very helpful people. Thank you very much!

The first app is called Blinkist. With the help of this app you can simultaneously listen and read summaries of books. It is ideal for people who do not have a lot of time to read whole books because of work, for people who want to „taste“ many books just a little bit, for people with concentration problems or people who have reduced hearing or visual skills. I think the wide offer of books covering a wide range of topics is not only stimulating but also very entertaining (!), especially for people who live on their own or have long ways to commute to work. You feel very accompanied. Books are like friends! Almost… 😉 And if you are especially interested in a topic, you can read the whole book afterwards and tell your friends about it. Sharing is caring!

The second app is called Storytell. Storytell covers a large number of languages, including English, Spanish, Catalan, Italian… Here you can listen to complete books from the world of fiction and non-fiction. There are also possibilities to improve your language skills.

There must be more similar offers, which may be as good. Sorry, I only know these two ones and I am enthusiastic about them. Maybe apps like that can help us to get into the reading mood again and slow down a bit! 🙂

Personally, I would be interested in an app for French literature and non-fiction in French but I am in no rush… 🙂

Hopefully, you’ll enjoy the apps as much as I do! Thanks. Gracias. Danke. Merci. Enjoy the summer! The way YOU like it…
