we were told several times to read the Book of Mormon in Spanish out load then in English. Doing this side by side reading, we were told is the best thing we can do to learn the language. Some time ago we got set up with Book of Mormon audio, English text, and, Spanish text. For one scripture at a time, We listen in spanish, read the Spanish out loud, read the scripture in english out load, then, we try to interpret the scripture. We have been doing this for about a hour each day for several weeks. We started at the beginning of the book. Well, we are sure it has helped our Spanish, however, it has helped in other ways way more:
We have had some really tough "down days". We assume that other missionaries have these kind of days. For the times we are down, we seem to read the exact thing we need from our Book of Mormon reading to get through. We are either uplifted, or, reproved, and lead to repentance.
So, yes reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish has really helped, but, in many more was than we thought.
