274: The nonsense of reading children's books to learn a language

In this episode, I react to the never-ending belief that children's book are good for language learning.

In Today's Episode:

Why I'll never recommend that adults should use kids' books for language learning:

• The vocabulary is NOT high-frequency
• The grammar is NOT simple
• The content is NOT interesting or relevant

Readings from:

• Harry Potter and the Philsopher's Stone
• Hansel and Gretel
• Jack and the FlumFlum Tree
