Listen and Read Studying:Are You Missing the Benefits?How does listen and read work? In the best music schools, students at the top are often given an unexpected assignment: copy out the music (sheet music) of a master. Great writers have also improved their writing that way. And great speakers.It is a form of imitation. Imitation is just that: copying. But when we copy a lot, the creative part of our brain begins to see patterns that we are not aware of. It begins to use those patterns. Then the creative side takes over and we are no longer copying. This pushes us into the levels of mastery. But to get there, we have to copy. And copy. And copy. Learning new and deep patterns is not an overnight process. The stories I have recorded for you on this website are gold. You can listen and read and repeat them many times. Your brain is learning. Don't stop before you see the effects. Keep going. Then when the words come out of your mouth without effort, you have learned. Deeply. And the knowledge is yours. This approach to learning a new language is the turtle's approach. You will not 'suddenly' be a master. It takes time and effort. I will know if you have done it or not. I will hear it in the English that you speak. I urge you to put the time in. Do the repeating. Read out loud. And keep going. Besides, its free! Samuel's Good BooksVerb List1.

Samuel loves to work with kids. He is particularly good at it because he hangs out with children a lot, and the kids love him. At a bubble party, one day, Samuel noticed one boy running with a girl's toy. These kind of things just jump out at him. Of course, they both fell over in the slippery bubbles and started crying. Samuel dressed them both down for running in the bubbles and made the boy give the toy back. They apologized and soon after they were falling over themselves to help Samuel.
