Description

What is Brambly Hedge?

Brambly Hedge is a world created by English artist and writer Jill Barklem. Her books tell stories of the mice who live in the hedge. The stories are strongly tied to nature and the seasons. Her illustrations are beautiful and full of details.

The website for the series is here: https://bramblyhedge.com/

There are eight books in the series: Spring Story, Summer Story, Autumn Story, Winter Story, The Secret Staircase (takes place during the Winter Solstice celebrations), The High Hills (takes place at the end of autumn), Sea Story (takes place in summer), and Poppy's Babies (takes place at the beginning of summer).

 

I love books (paper books), but I also suggest getting these books in e-book format if it is available with audio (for example, here https://www.kobo.com/jp/ja/ebook/autumn-story-read-aloud-brambly-hedge). It's excellent to read along with the narrator and imitate his pronunciation and intonation.  


Who is this lesson suitable for?
This lesson is suitable for upper-intermediate to advanced students, both children and adults. This is a children's picture-book, but it is written for native speakers, so the language is authentic and colloquial. 

How will I benefit from this lesson?
By reading authentic children's books, you will expand your vocabulary, practice more complex sentence structures, and increase your experience with natural and colloquial English. As we read, we can talk about unfamiliar words and practice pronunciation. We can talk about what we see in the very detailed pictures and what's happening. This is excellent speaking practice, and can be as simple or as challenging as required for each student.

Please note: I can provide a few pages of the book to read together if you don't have a copy, but due to copyright issues, I can't share the entire book. Please take a trial lesson if you'd like to see if you enjoy the books and the lesson. If you like it, you can feel comfortable buying the books! ^^

 Let's visit Brambly Hedge together! I look forward to seeing you soon!
