073: 8 reasons to read in a foreign language

In this episode, I give you 8 reasons you should be reading in your target language.

In this episode:
  1. Reading slows down the language
  2. It's great for introverts who aren't comfortable speaking
  3. You can learn less common vocabulary
  4. You can significantly increase your vocabulary range by extensive reading
  5. It's cheap! (Cheaper than teachers, or travelling!)
  6. Sense of achievement
  7. Immersion in a foreign world
  8. It's fun, which builds an emotional attachment to the language
Resources Featured In Today's Episode:

I've written short story books in a number of languages to help you start reading!
