Here is something very cool. Not audio, but it gives you biblical texts in two languages side by side. There are eight languages to choose from and you can change both the source and target languages. Here is an example with Spanish-Italian:

That's very useful reading two foreign languages side by side, especially Spanish and Italian, which often cause interferences. Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 14 July 2009 at 8:53am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There is a powerful story told by Nicky Cruz in Spanish and translated to English that will hold your attention no matter what you believe. It is an excellent opportunity to practise your Spanish.
You can download it at http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?c id=335 I recommend it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm not sure that listening to 2 audio Bibles side by side would be an effective tool for actually improving one's vocabulary. I've picked up quite a lot of vocabulary from studying the Korean Bible. But understanding scripture in a foreign language takes time and for that reason you have to spend time reading it before actually listening to any audio Bibles. Otherwise, the stuff will go over your head.

That is true of some portions of scripture, e.g., I wouldn’t recommend listening to Leviticus or Revelation if you are not familiar with them (they are hard enough in one’s native language). However many portions of scripture are written in very simple prose with very basic everyday vocabulary and would be comprehensible, e.g., the Gospel of John. For example: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:1-5 1 person has voted this message useful |
