The BEST BOOKS for Beginner, Intermediate, & Advanced Learners 📚

ABOUT THE LESSON 📚
Please do not underestimate the power of reading. This is something ALL English learners should be doing each and every day. But reading is often overlooked for a few different reasons. Learners often tell me:

1) I don't like to read.
2) Reading is difficult.
3) What should I read?

So in this lesson I'm going to discuss each of these so that you can use reading to dramatically improve your language skills. By the end of the lesson, you should have a better idea as to what you need to read in order to help your English the most.

For all who learn English, I recommend audiobooks! My favorite are: 1st - Series of Harry Potter read by Jim Dale. This is a brilliant American actor who alone with his voice surpassed all the creations of Hollywood! When I hear Voldemort in his performance it really chills my blood! And the 2nd is a famous series of Myths created by Robert Lynn Asprin and read by Jeff Woodman. It so clear for understanding and perfectly performed. It's a pity that Woodman has only made three audiobooks. But the Myths are amazing, you will enjoy them I guarantee!

I love Reading the collection "chicken soup for the soul"...it is so good because there are short true stories written by ordinary people.

[js.]

I loved "atomic habits" It is a great book with great advices and if you don't like reading a novel with long, complex and unending story maybe you can try to read these kind of personal development books, because they consist of short parts...

[EverythingAmericanEnglish]

Great tips! It’s important to read books that interest you. This is something I would tell my fourth graders. And guess what? They discovered that they DO like reading! Ha!

[jiangdukent]

Ive just started reading with the book named “The Holes”written by Louis Sachar. Good one for beginning!

[Aerosmith]

Thanks for this lesson, these are good advices. I hope you'll have a real good grammar lesson soon.

[lifeever]

Thank you very much, Wes. I am an intermediate learner ( that is what I think) the book that you suggest to us are really nice.

[gilbertocbarros]

The first book I read was Future shock by Alvin Toffler, and I learned a Lot of new words.Than I read Agatha Christie books.I also read a book called Killing Floor by Lee Child.Read is good! The problem is to include what we read in a conversation.

Another articulate, well put together material. I've been applying this "i + 1" method for decades. It definitely works when learning a language. Keep up the awesome work!

[jimsoto]

I really enjoy listening to you because I improve my listening skill and learn new thing about English learning strategies. Your channel is bad-ass. Thx mate.

[elasrisoufiane]

Thanks a lot for those tips. By reading what interest you, you can build the habit of reading, and that is very important. We have to know what
we like to read, and this is a problem also, How we can know what we like to read? to make the first step. In my case I wasn't a reader and when
I was 30 years old, I decide to be reader then I haven't any idea about what can I read, and I stared with what I have in my bookshelf, fortunately
I found a book that speak about Islam it was amazing relay I like it, and I stared to look for Islam books. It speak about personnel development.
I don't think that any book can cover this subject like coran. I hope that everyone try to read this book.

[olgaleinveber]

I love reading and listening audiobooks and one of the reasons I started to learn English is that I want to read my favorite books in the original language for example "Harry Potter, " "The catcher in the Rye", or books written by Stephen King and Theodore Dreiser. I decided to read short stories written by Somerset Maugham and Jack London. I also like to read articles about Geography, History and Literature

[federicaolivoni]

my experience: I'm an advanced English learner do this doesn't apply for it, but I have begun to learn Spanish since 3 years. As for English, I started with 'love novels' because they are easy to read, vocabulary is not complicated and you can came to the end of it
