Welcome to Learn English with the Bible! My name is Sharon, and I am here to help you learn English as you study God’s Word.
I’m a CELTA-certified ESL teacher for adults who need to learn this language for work, travel, and any other reason I speak American English with a standard accent, so I will teach you the grammar and vocabulary that we use in the United States.
Why Do I Use the Bible for Lessons?
Sometimes, when I make lessons for my students, it is difficult to find good stories or articles to study. Many times I write my own! One day, I thought, “Why not use Bible stories for my lessons? Then my students can learn the Bible and study English at the same time!” So I created Learn English with the Bible.
I have chosen to use the Contemporary English Version (CEV) Bible, and you can read more in this post.

Are You a Teacher?
If you are a teacher, you are my reason for starting Learn English with the Bible. I believe you are here because you have a heart for God and others. The world has become a very small place, and English is the lingua franca. Whether you are reaching out to English learners in your community, through your church, or if you are living abroad and want to make ESL a part of your mission, I want to provide you with lesson plans and other information that will make your job easier.

You can also use anything you find at Learn English with the Bible as you teach. And feel free to send me a message! Let me know what I can provide to help you, or tell me how you use the lessons and ebooks to teach. And of course, let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
