What is it Like to Go Blind - English Listening Exercise

What is it Like to Go Blind - English Listening Exercise This is a beautiful video that uses the audio diary of theologian John Hull, who describes his experience of going blind. It was touching and interesting and his voice is memorizing. I wanted to share it with our students.Our classes are not just about speaking English and learning a new language, but also about engaging in deep conversation with people from around the world. After all, isnt this what really learning a language is about? So enjoy this listening exercise and please try the writing. This video lends itself to being pondered and written about.It is a longer video so Im going to do 10 listening questions on the first 6:30 minutes of the video.
