Abby 老师讲一口地道的美式英语。成为双母语宝宝的妈妈后，她一直致力于英语教育的研究与开发。

她从市面上浩如烟海的英文绘本中，选择了美国教育界推荐的百本儿童必读书目，为博雅小学堂录制了这一系列的课程。这些绘本都有一个特征：拥有极高的精神世界。无论它是搞笑的还是煽情的好英语学堂，或者是悲伤的，读过后都会给孩子的精神世界加分，使他们灵魂的重量变得更大。

很多听众疑惑：孩子们听不懂或者听不惯英文绘本怎么办？

Abby 老师的回答是：我们就把英语播放给他们听，就像背景音乐一样。给孩子播放古典音乐，有没有家长提出孩子听不懂古典音乐怎么办。时间长了，孩子自然会慢慢地往外输出好英语学堂，而且一定会有好的语感。
