Learn English Fast launches bilingual audiobook program in nine languages

Learn English Fast has introduced an adult English-learning program built around bilingual audiobooks, visual grammar lessons and monthly progress tracking. The Toronto-based program is now available in nine language pairings and is designed for independent learners who want to practice English consistently.

Why it matters: - The program targets adult learners who need a flexible way to build English skills around jobs, families and other responsibilities. - Its bilingual format aims to make English more accessible by pairing translation, audio and repetition in one routine. - Learn English Fast positions language practice as a path that can broaden access to international and remote work.

What happened: - Learn English Fast launched a structured English-learning program for adults that combines bilingual audiobooks, bilingual learning materials, vocabulary activities, music, verb study and monthly progress tracking. - The program was created by Angeline Pompei, a Canadian TEFL English teacher, artist and former aerospace engineer. - The program is available in nine bilingual language combinations. - Learn English Fast currently offers materials pairing English with Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Polish, Japanese, Korean and Tagalog. - The bilingual audiobook program costs $34.99 per language as a one-time fee. - The PDF library costs $24.99 per language.

The details: - Pompei's 30 Verbs and Pronouns course uses a slower grammar approach with one verb per week and one pronoun at a time. - Within that course, Pompei uses a method called “Look, Listen, Read Out Loud and Write.” - The method starts with bilingual text and repeated sentence lines so learners can see meaning immediately and notice sentence patterns. - Learners then listen to bilingual audio while following the text to connect pronunciation with meaning. - The next step is reading aloud to practice pronunciation and speaking more independently. - Learners then write the sentences to reinforce vocabulary, sentence structure and spelling. - Repetition is built in so learners can compare how English changes across verb forms without memorizing many conjugations at once. - The program also includes bilingual books, vocabulary word searches with bilingual audio, bilingual verb tables, journal writing and English-learning music. - A monthly student-tracking calendar helps learners monitor consistency over the month. - Pompei's album Verbiage, Songs for learning English and bilingual books are available free through her personal website. - The album uses songs built around English verbs, vocabulary and language patterns. - The bilingual format is designed to help independent learners understand meaning quickly and hear pronunciation without needing a teacher present for every session.

Between the lines: - Pompei developed the method after finding it overwhelming to study multiple verbs, pronouns and conjugations at the same time. - Her approach breaks grammar into smaller pieces that can be repeated until the patterns become familiar. - Her background in aerospace engineering, entrepreneurship, marketing, teaching and music shaped the program’s mix of structure and repetition. - Pompei's multicultural upbringing also influenced the project, including her Canadian background and Italian, Chinese and Filipino heritage. - Pompei has pointed to the Philippines as an example of how English ability can help people participate in international business and online work. - Her travel experiences with people from Latin America who were seeking economic opportunity also shaped her view that language can expand choices without solving hardship on its own.

What's next: - Learn English Fast is directing learners to explore the available bilingual programs, learning materials and monthly tracking calendar. - The company is continuing to offer bilingual books, audiobooks and music as ongoing study tools for adults who want to keep English in their daily routine.
