I think I am not an expert neither the Internet nor computing, but I always liked entangle in the computer.
One of my dreams since I was very young, since I started with English was having someone to read me books.
On the Internet I have heard many podcasts but that was not what I wanted. I wished hearing and reading at the same time.
Now, thinking about audiobooks and all this kind of things, I thought that perhaps I could find, on the one hand, books written in English, in pdf for example, and the other hand audios of these books, in mp3 for example. And so it was. Now, whenever I have time, I spend pleasant moments with my new distraction.
At first I tried finding movies in English with subtitles in English, but , by the moment, I have given up. I visited a hundred of pages, but there is no way, all of them put any impediment.
I will keep trying it. Any suggestions?

I think you can learn a lot more by books than by movies. Have you tried www.lyricstraining.com?
Me cuesta mucho leer y escuchar al mismo tiempo. Porque mis habilidades de leer son mejores, suelo leer en lugar de escuchar, y no aprendo mucho. Tengo el mismo problema con películas en español con subtítulos en español.
Thanks Matt for the advice. This is not the first time I hear some similar. However I have a friend who spent two years working in the U.S. He tries to watch at least once a day an episode of some of his favorite American series in original version. He insists that I also watch movies in this way, but it is clear, his vocabulary is huge.
ReplyDeleteI have visited the page and is very interesting. I have seen something similar to a karaoke where you have to fill the gaps. I will visit it oftener.
