Want to know a great way to increase your vocabulary
and understanding in English? Audio Bibles!
I use audio bibles every day to
learn Russian. Now some of you might not have studied the Bible (maybe you are not even
religious). No problem.
The only thing you need to do is to download an audio
bible in your language and download one in English too.
Here is what you do: Select a track from the
audio Bible and listen to it until you understand it very well. Then listen to the same track on the English
audio bible until you can understand it well too.
In my lessons we learn to speak English and learn
grammar as a habit. This is not the point here. The point here is to build your listening
skills.
You should spend a least an hour a day listening to
English. The problem is: Most people listen to programs THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND--wasting
time.
In my opinion, listening should make up at least 70%
of your study time. This is a great way to do it, because you are listening to something you can
understand. This is because, you listened to it in your own language first.
I have spent well over $500 dollars on listening
materials (and still spending). You don't have to.
The fact is: You don't need to spend hundreds
of dollars on English audio, when you can download audio bibles for nothing.
You can find an audio bible in your language and
English here:
www.faithcomesbyhearing.com
Let me give you an example (Hindi and
English):
John Chapter 1 in
Hindi
John Chapter 1 in English
If you need to look up the words, you can just find a
Bible on the internet, like here: http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/
It is easy to find the book and chapter. Do it
