Doctor Dolittle Read-Along | Learn English with Classic Stories | Learn Through | Stories Episode 1
Description
đ About This Read-Along SeriesWelcome to my read-along of The Story of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting! This classic childrenâs novel was first published in 1920, and it follows the adventures of a kind-hearted doctor who learns to speak the language of animals. With the help of his clever companionsâincluding a parrot, an owl, and a dogâDoctor Dolittle travels the world solving problems in the most unexpected ways.Because the book was written over 100 years ago, some of the language may feel old-fashioned or unfamiliar. In each episode, I highlight a few words and phrases that might be tricky to pronounce or understandâperfect for intermediate English learners who want to build vocabulary while enjoying a fun and imaginative story.â ď¸ A note on language and editing: This story reflects the attitudes and expressions of its time, including terms like âwhite manâ and âblack man,â which were commonly used in early 20th-century writing. Iâve chosen to remove or adapt certain phrases that I felt were racist or inappropriate for modern audiences, while keeping the storyâs spirit and flow intact. My goal is to create a respectful and inclusive learning experience while preserving the charm of the original tale.Thanks for joining me on this journeyâletâs read, learn, and explore together!â Support the Channel If youâre enjoying these read-alongs and learning something new, consider supporting my work at buymeacoffee.com/eslpractice.
