Reading classic English literature short stories
Detalles de la lección
Interested in enjoying the great narratives of the English classics, but finding it difficult because of the many difficult words?
Don't worry, we can do that without worrying about all the sesquipedalian verboseness (all the fancy vocabulary).
What I'm offering is not a children's reader, but the full experience with the original texts, making it fun and understandable. I've worked on some select short stories (and working on more) where the contextual meanings of challanging words have been worked out.
This way, we get to read and enjoy the originals without struggling with big words.
We'll be reading, working with vocabulary and its proper pronunciation.
Here's a list of the short stories currently available:

Not only are they able to comprehend the narratives better, but they also develop a greater appreciation for literature, and grow their vocabulary as well.
So, come join me on a journey through the brilliance of the classics.
