deutschWhen did you read ALOUD the last time ?
I am reading a foreign language book - aloud.
I remember the last time reading aloud - over a longer period of time - was in school, when we read set books in class.
Why am I doing this now (again) ?
Perhaps to get more of my senses activated ? Could also be because of the topic of the book - it is about ancient times. And as you know: stories sound better, when they are told.
I noticed that this slows me down (when comparing to “normal” silent reading). Could be because:
- now I read REALLY the complete text instead having read some parts (quickly)
- sometimes also the pronounciation/accentuation seems not correct to me and I stop and think how it would be correct
- perhaps I see more with my mind’s eye ?
The book has >500 pages - I wish all my neighbors fun listening

Reading is already a story itself. Many good storytellers are also good in reading aloud
[Erkan tells:
As Shan later pointed out, there is a man called Li Yang, who teaches English in an interesting way: “To shout out loud, you learn.” For Li Yang also the oral part in learning is important. More info on wikipedia.
Thank you for the information Shan. ]
