Let’s start with the Listening Exercise. This exercise is the first part of Advanced Beginner Lesson 3, or you can do it as an individual listening exercise.

First, be prepared to find the answers to these four questions as you listen:

  1. What is Nain?
  2. What did Jesus say to the boy’s mother?
  3. What did the boy do after Jesus spoke to him?
  4. What spread all over Judea?

Click the play button when you are ready to listen. Find the answers to the four questions. Listen again and again, and become more familiar with the words each time you listen.

Do you hear the way English speakers put stress on certain words and syllables? Maybe you heard the way English intonation and stress is used in sentences with exclamation marks (!).  Do your best, but don’t worry if you don’t understand everything. You can listen to it again during the Reading exercise.

Now, move on to the Reading Exercise.
