When practicing English listening, many people should listen to foreign radio broadcasts, news, etc., but for beginners, the difficulty is actually a bit high. After all, these are contents broadcast specifically for foreigners, and many of them must not be understood. After listening for a long time and unable to understand, you will want to give up. If you are encountering this situation, or want to find a listening content suitable for beginners, then the recommended “Learning English – Stories for Beginners” is definitely worth trying. It is completely free. All the storybooks collected are suitable for beginners. There are not too many difficult words, and text files are even provided so that you can listen and read at the same time.
Learn English – Stories for Beginners App Introduction
After opening the Learn English – Stories for Beginners app, all free story audiobooks will be listed on the homepage. The first part is basically arranged alphabetically, and the second part looks like content is added one after another, so there is no one arrangement rule:
After you find a story audiobook that you like and are interested in, click on it and it will start playing. In actual tests, there is no problem with standby and background playback. However, the playback function cannot be controlled in these two modes, and you must return to the app. There is also a complete text file in the middle. It is recommended that you rely solely on listening for the first time. If you really don’t understand a lot, you can change it to listening and reading at the same time:
