emaildesk: news fromt the arctic circle

Posted on March 18, 2008 by | Posted in correspondence, News | Comments: 3 Comments on emaildesk: news fromt the arctic circle

From Malcolm R.:

Hi, I live in the Arctic Circle in Northern Sweden and we have some polish workers here and some of the guys are trying to teach them English.
They have been giving them Audio Books in English to listen to and someone suggested Audio Books and the EBook of same title so they could hear the words and see the text.
The only place I could think of for this is Librivox.
Do you have available the eBook text of your audio books so that anyone learning English could read along??

emaildesk: thanks for the help

From Lee O.:

First, I want to thank you for offering something like this. Second, I want to tell my story and how your site has affected me personally. I’m currently taking a class that has some pretty intense readings. With a full load of university classes, I don’t often have the time I need to invest toward this one class that has all these required readings. I found your site while looking for Bram Stoker’s Dracula in audio book form. Looking around on amazon and such, I found that I could easily get the abridged version, and not only that, but that it would cost me a pretty penny to not only purchase, but to have it sent so quickly.

I am writing to say thank you. Thank you for what you’ve offered. I spend the majority of my days in a car, commuting to work and school, and you have allowed me to be able to get a significant amount of “reading” done without having to lose so much of my day. Because of your site, I might actually get what I need done before test time. For that, I will be grateful. And because of your site, I’ve also been looking into seeing what I could do to volunteer to read some works, just to be able to give to someone else, what your volunteers have given me.

So thank you. Greatly.
