I first ran across 'Learning Spanish Like Crazy' about a year ago. I was planning a trip to Ecuador with my husband, and although I'd gone to some Continuing Education Spanish classes at our local university, my grasp of Spanish was very limited...to be truthful, pretty non-existent.So, I spent some time on line, looking for a Spanish conversational program that would include the things I felt

I was driving, the kids were sleeping in the back of the van, and my spouse rode shotgun.We'd found a tape

Famous quotes offer insights to life, humour, and can show us a different way to think. These are just a few that I love, from some famous authors.“All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality — the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.”- Arthur Christopher Benson (1862-1925)Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, author. “

Although I am a great fan of audio books, and that is my business, I am first and foremost a lover of books and reading.The best years of my teaching career were those where I worked as a teacher-librarian, and was privileged to help many children develop a love of books and reading.Recently, I came across a very interesting and worthwhile site while browsing the internet.

The most important skill a child can ever acquire is probably the ability to read. Audio books can be easily used to stimulate literacy in children. Children can listen while following the story in the paper book. Or they could listen just to gain and improve vocabulary and communication skills.To instill in your child the love of reading, audio books can be a excellent start.I remember the
