Improve listening with audiobooks

1:17

for improving your vocabulary,

1:17

but if you want to improve your listening

1:18

and your pronunciation even further,

1:21

I highly recommend the study method

1:23

of combining reading actual books

1:25

with listening to audio books on Audible.

1:28

Let me explain this method.

1:30

Take a book that you have already read in English

1:33

or a book that you would like to read in English

1:36

I've got loads of recommendations for good books

1:38

for different levels of English

1:40

in the description box down below.

1:42

And read this chosen book while listening

1:45

to the audio version.

1:47

It's got to be at the same time.

1:48

Reading alone will not help you with your listening

1:51

or your pronunciations skills

1:52

and that's because English in not a phonetic language.

1:56

If you hear and listen to a word as you read it,

1:59

your brain will make a connection

2:01

and the next time you see that word,

2:03

you will know how it's pronounced

2:05

and the next time you hear that word,

2:07

you know will know how it's spelled.

2:09

By reading and listening tat the same time,

2:11

you're essentially training your brain

2:14

in loads of different disciplines.

2:16

It's such an effective method

2:18

and the best part is that you can get one free audiobook,

2:21

that's a 30-day free trial

2:23

if you click on the link in the description box

2:25

and sign up to Audible.

2:27

Then you can download one of my audiobook recommendations.

2:30

Give it a try, it really, really works.
