Study languages from home with Bilingual Audio Books: Another 2018 study on online education conducted by Learning House and Aslanian Market Research confirms the hype about online degree is very real – at least in the USA. According to the study, 86% of online learners considered the value of their degree equal to or greater than the cost they paid to pursue it. Among those who have attended on-campus and online courses, 85% said that online learning is as good as or better than attending courses on campus. In fact, two-thirds of online college students reported that they’d achieved the original goal that motivated them to enrol in their program. Graduate students were more likely than undergraduates to feel that way (76 percent vs. 62 percent).

First, while looking at what’s out there, consider all types of books. Don’t limit yourself to just one “scholarly” source or even a language learning text. With bilingual e-books, all reading genres are represented. Choose something that piques your interest. There’s no shame in starting “small”-what I mean is, keep it basic to begin with. You don’t need to grab “War and Peace” for your first e-book-or even your twenty-first. Children’s books or comic books are solid reading materials and both are available for bilingual e-reading.

Learning languages easily and bilingual audio books : Of course, it’s never too late to learn something new, but according to studies, children do best when introduced to other languages early on. In fact, research shows that babies start learning language sounds in utero and can distinguish between their mother’s language and another language from birth! So, little kids are well-prepared to learn a second language. Bilingual skills help children acquire problem-solving skills.

Turn the Young Generation from Useless Stuff to Useful Literature. The young generation has become addicted to headphones. They are listening to favorite songs, jokes, TV Shows, etc. which do not give them anything productive except temporary entertainment. Audiobooks are fine temptation to divert their attention and habits. Now, some schools have understood the importance of audiobooks. They have made it compulsory for students to listen to the audiobooks.

Gives students educational independence. When students get access to the content and are able to work independently, it gives them the confidence to become successful learners and control their educational outcome. Students who are given the audiobook advantage as an accommodation also have more continuity of learning in the classroom. This means peer relationships can develop normally and students can feel more like insiders.

Learning Foreign Languages The Way You Learned Your Mother Tongue (aka: easy). When I was teaching French to foreign students I was always trying to smooth their learning path. In my on-going effort I ended up with the Bilingual Audio Book « BABook ». At last something new in the learning world, specially designed to make learning a foreign language a breeze. With Pierre (my husband and best supporter) we decided to run a test: from a podcast I had made we prepared a version that alternates English and French sentences, and invited friends’ children to listen to it.
