#14 Reading: A powerful tool to help your English


Listen Later

Lately I've been focusing on my wishes. How do wishes come true? What are wishes? And I found a German book, "Magie der Wünsche" by Daphne Unruh. It's a fantasy story - my favourite genre. And the best thing about it for me is that it is in GERMAN! I love finding wonderful German books which I can read or listen to because I know it is one of the most powerful ways to stay connected to German and improve it at the same time. Reading helps because I can see the words and I can focus my learning, and listening to an audio book helps because my pronunciation and phrasing starts to improve. Plus I can use it for unfocussed learning. A time, where I can do something else at the same time. I usually wash the dishes or iron.

Are you reading something in ENGLISH? Which book are you reading at the moment? Come and share it with me in the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/connectedtoenglishgroup/

 Are you finding it easy or is it still quite difficult? If it's still difficult, try starting with a children's book. That's how I started to improve my German reading when I first started.

So REALLY recommend reading English to keep in your language flow.

And enjoy reading:)

The more you enjoy it, the more your brain will absorb the English.

Have a wonderful week!
