Hello, I’m Anne Sensei, and I’d like to welcome you to Slow Eigo.

Slow Eigo is a calm and relaxed way to learn English and build confidence.

In this Audio Reader series, I use short stories and natural English for high beginner and intermediate learners.

You do not need to understand every word. Let yourself be immersed in the story.

As you listen, let your imagination create a little movie of the story.

After listening, you can read the script and check the glossary for new words.

Then, listen again and see how much more you understand.

Let’s get started! Enjoy!

そして、もう一度聞いてみてください。最初よりも理解が深まっていることに気づくはずです。

それでは、始めましょう。どうぞお楽しみください。
