The Bible (especially New Testament) has sufficient material, both in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and length, to
work for this technique. Also, it's been the most translated and probably most recorded book of all time. Has anyone used this technique on the Bible to learn one or multiple foreign languages? I just read about the technique and the concept really seems to "click" with me. It also reminds me a bit of Kato Lomb's remarks on learning new languages.

I've read about several people that have learned languages through the translations of the bible.
I second this. I have no idea where I would find an audio bible in German or Spanish, but how would someone reccommend going about this? Would you use L2 audio with the L1 bible, or L2-L2? Jordan Edited by datsunking1 on 20 June 2010 at 2:27pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This is an interesting idea, I have to admit, particularly since I'm not of a faith that uses that book, but my spouse will be teaching at a Christian school, so I figured I'd best brush up on the reading anyway. I'd probably start L2-L1 for awhile, and then L2-L2. I haven't done L-R before but I've been reading a bunch of the earlier posts and given unfamiliarity with the material (or a desire to brush up on it, or just to sort of "know what's going on"), starting L2 audio, L1 visual might not be so bad. Then switch over. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

One can find The Bible in audio format here at Word Project in the following languages:
English Chinese French Portuguese Russian German Spanish Italian Hindi & nbsp; Tamil Korean Vietnamese Click the 'Audio' button on the top-left. I don't know how complete they are, the German,for example has only New Testament audio. I have downloaded each of the four Gospel books. That's as far as I've gotten. [soon, my precious, soon...] For other, less-well-known languages you can find audio at Faith Comes By Hearing. They have Low German, "Plautdietsch" (as opposed to the High German, "Hochdeutsch" in most audio courses, etc.) I recommend that you go to the bottom of the page where the audio player is then click on "English/English Standard Ver..." (in the burgundy area) and then a small 'Search' bar comes up. I found it handier than the normal 'Search' doohickey near the top. Also, there is a post worth noting midway down by didaskolos here on this very website regarding which parts of The Bible may be better suited for L-R. And, as you probably know, there are many different versions of The Bible, so trying to find which version best fits the audio that you have may be a challenge. Godspeed & keep us posted...
