My favorite way to overcome the reading pain level is using and actual Kindle ebook reader (not just the app, but the actual device). You can simply translate any unknown words by just touch+holding it, and the dictionary entry automatically appears. And on top of being able to translate much more easily as you go along, it also creates a list of all looked up words in a separate “vocabulary builder” outside the book. It automatically creates a flash card for each word, which you could review, but i personally prefer going in from time to time and copying all of them into a vocab notebook and memorizing them there. That feature makes everything so much easier and less painful though

The best thing you can learn from these guys is they know how to keep themselves motivated and improve everyday.

So glad I discovered your channel, sir! I have a bachelor's degree in German but haven't kept up my speaking ability; from your podcast I know that all is not lost...I can bring this back alone. Looking forward to improving!

What about reading your favorite books in your new target language? I have done that in several languages and it has helped me to avoid reading pain, even when I do not know 98 % of words.

I really appreciate this season about "extensive reading". Thank a lot for to share that. That will really help me to increase my vocabulary 🇧🇷

Aww man can’t wait to get off work just to watch this! Been waiting for it! All of your content is extremely motivating. This series especially.

[RedPandas]

Reading has totally changed my life, I can’t believe I wasted so much time playing video games during my younger years, I suppose sometimes we have to go through these stages in life to truly appreciate a positive change. Reading has taught me the following: a new language, how to invest my money, how to set goals, building good habits, a new philosophy about life, how to be a healthier person, the importance of meditation, how to better understand my child, but most importantly reading has shaped my identity etc
I’m now obsessed with my personal growth and the impact that it will have on those around me. I have my own Library at home and I’m always chasing new books, it’s like this Insatiable desire to learn that has taken possession of my soul hahaha
Good language learning everyone and good reading !

Great video! For the next one it'd be great if you can you talk about what to do if there are not enough resources in your target language. Thanks Robin, I'm always looking forward to your videos.

I'm making my master's degree final project on how extensive reading helps improve spoken fluency. I'll be so grateful to have some scientific articles or books to research all the theory behind this.

[sotmMrPants]

Loved this video, Robin. I'm with a group of teachers practicing the TPRS method of language teaching (Teacher Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling). This video, I think helps us to see better what we're doing in our classes.
