The Bible in Slow English
Link to our website below to easily access readings by book and chapter.
Coming to a new country is scary when you can't communicate in schools, neighborhoods, the work place, the market place and in places of worship. Beginning language learners face a real challenge making sense of the spoken word. Listening just 5 to 10 minutes a day to simple content spoken slowly and distinctly can lead to rapid improvement in listening skills.
If you are newly arrived in the United States, The Bible in Slow English has the double advantage of providing a daily dose of oral English, and also introducing curious seekers to the Bible itself without bias or commentary.
The Bible in Slow English is best used along with a language learning app such as Duolingo. Find the link below.
Bible Gateway is a website where you can read the Bible in English and also in your own language. Find the link below.
I hope you find these audio podcasts helpful in your journey.
