What is Once Upon a Language?

This podcast helps you learn a new language naturally by listening to books, gradually replacing English words with their translations. We are an engineer and a scientist—and now, new parents! As a Russian-speaking mom and a travel-loving dad, we want our daughter to grow up multilingual. That inspired us to create this podcast, blending our passion for stories, languages, and exploration into a fun and effective learning method.

Each book we feature is analyzed for its most common words, which we then gradually introduce in a new language. The first time a word appears, it’s in English. The next time, it’s seamlessly swapped into the other language. Over time, listeners naturally absorb vocabulary, starting with root words and progressing to more complex phrases. Unlike traditional language learning methods, our approach is engaging and entertaining—making language acquisition feel effortless.
