This book is ideal for people who are looking for new solutions to further their study of foreign languages, and is an excellent addition to grammar, phrase and vocabulary books. It is designed in a form of parallel text, where the reader will find the text in two languages placed next to one another for easy reference.
This particular story is part of a book containing the whole collection of seven short stories titled "Ghosts: Learn Polish, Parallel text", which is also available for purchase. Each of the seven stories is dedicated to aid in learning a foreign language in a new and exciting way, and through reading parallel texts.
How best to use this book to gain the most benefit?
For beginners, I would suggest they read the story in their primary language first, then begin reading single sentences in the foreign language. Advanced level students can begin by reading in the foreign language, and only reference the text in their primary language when they encounter a problem with comprehension.
With motivation, practice and perseverance, and a good ‘ghost story’, anyone, absolutely anyone is capable of learning a new language.
The series of ghost stories contain the following titles: THE LOST GHOST, THE JUDGE’S HOUSE, KERFOL, THE LONG GALLERY, MEN IN THE MARBLE, THE TOLL-HOUSE, THE WHISTLE.
