Trying to knuckle down and learn something new when you are already living your life at breakneck speed can simply be too much of a challenge. There are times, though, when you might not be able to sit at a desk with a pile of books but you can afford to concentrate just enough to learn from an audio book. Exercising, cooking, doing housework and driving, for example, are all activities that can be combined safely with audio learning.
Audio books have, of course, been around for many years now, and in that time the range available has grown from children’s stories and novels for adults to a good selection of self-help and business books. Language courses on tape or CD lend themselves particularly well to learning on the move, so whether you just want to pick up a few words of the local lingo before you head off on vacation or are looking to master a new language to improve your career prospects, one of these could prove to be a great investment.
Being short of time and always on the move doesn’t have to mean the end of learning opportunities. Just stick on those headphones and you could be one click away from endless new knowledge!
[EDITOR NOTE: Vacation involve driving? Consider taking along several audio books from the library or a nearby Crackel Barrel. Helps pass the time while enabling you to enjoy the scenery.]
