My children’s knowledge of the English language is far better than their friends’. The only reason for it is the fact that they are using audio books for learning English. My elder son has just finishing listening to the last Harry Potter audio book. this Harry potter audio book was a book on tape and consisted of several 30 minutes audio book cassettes.
Students all over the world are learning English using audio books. Audio books are the most effective way of learning English. Learning English by using audio books broadens the vocabulary, helps understanding rapid speaking but more than all it is the only method that helps you learn the right pronunciation.
Using audio books to learn English is quite easy. You should only get audio books on Cd, books on tape or download audio books (You can also download free audio books).
You should find an audio book that best suits your needs. I also recommend getting an audio book with more than one speaker.

Why Children Need to Hear Audio Books
Learning to read is difficult for many children, and requires the development of skills, such as learning to listen to the sounds of their spoken language, learning the correct pronunciation of words, using words appropriately in conversation, learning to put expression into conversation.
These skills can be introduced before the child commences formal schooling. The best way to do this is through the enjoyable experience of the parent reading aloud to the child and encouraging the child to respond to the stories.
If the parent reads with expression and talks to the child about the story they are reading, the child will become engrossed in the story as their imagination is stimulated. Reading to children of all ages is one of the best ways to encourage interest in reading.
Audio books give children access to books that they normally wouldn’t like reading.
