You might be wondering...

“How many stories are there?”

At the moment for each language we have more than 100 minutes of animated stories (audio + video + text), as well as approximately 65 minutes of audio stories (audio + text + illustrations). 

This is spread across 20 stories in five languages. You can see what the stories are by looking at our homepage menu. There are not any other stories tucked away in the background.

Please note that some stories are quite long (e.g., over 15 minutes) while others are quite short (e.g., 2 minutes).

“Is this a one-time payment or a subscription?”

New memberships do not automatically renew. Your membership will simply expire at the end of the period. If you would like to keep your membership for longer, you can simply buy another membership after the first one expires.

If you've been a member for a while (since before January 20, 2025) your membership may still auto-renew.

If you accidentally let your membership renew get in touch and we'll see what we can do :) 

“Are there worksheets and activities for all stories?”

There are worksheets and classroom activities for 10 stories at the moment, for French, Italian, Spanish and German.

These stories have activities for elementary, middle school and high school level learners.

There are no activities or worksheets for the English versions of our stories — sorry!

“Is there a free trial?”

No, but we do have a lot of free content so that you can see how it works. You can also read/watch all of our stories in English without a membership. (We recommend checking these out first, just to make sure you're happy with our versions of the stories. They might be a little different from what you remember!)

“What is your refund policy?”

Because our memberships are a digital product, if you purchase a membership and then change your mind, we generally operate a "no refunds" policy. But it's a soft one for now. If something has gone terribly wrong for you with your purchase, please contact us and we'll see what we can do.

To avoid this situation we strongly recommend that you look through our free material before you purchase. In addition to selected free content in each language, all our stories in English are completely free. Use these to get a feel for the topics, themes and language we use, to make sure they're suitable for you.

If you are on a recurring membership and you accidentally let it renew, we'll happily give you a refund if you contact us within a month of renewal. (Enough time to spot it on your credit card statement!)

“I have more questions!”

We have more answers on our About page. You can also email us and you'll get a real-life human response from Aletta. She'll probably give you a lot of smiley faces :)

Nice!
