How To Read a Novel Fast? How to read a book in a foreign language to learn languages to reach fluency? Your first novel will be painfully slow! But the more you read, the more practice you get, the more you comprehend, the speed of your reading will grow. Only after consistent practice, you can read a novel fast in your target language. Refold method Ethan and Matt vs Japan on how to read a novel in your target language tutorial. Reading a novel is reserved for Stage 2 Refold language learners. I also explain how I go about reading books in German as well as some of my history with language learning. I also mention Kindle books, Migaku, reading strategies, and many more tips.

Reading fiction, it turns out, is not only fun but is a great way to develop your social brain. Research shows that reading novels, for example, shapes our brains and moulds our social skills. The study found that the more fiction a person reads, the stronger the ability to make mental models of others. Reading novels, especially paired with an audiobook, can be a great way to acquire your target language since it provides a huge amount of material.
In this video, I will give you reading tips and tricks, reading strategies, and different types of literature that you could start with.

My strategy is to look only two words up a page, write them in the bottom. But enjoy the reading. But then occasionally read a page randomly, once or twice a day.

Brother your content is amazing. You provide amazing information, good voice and a nice edition. I don´t understand why this kind of content is not so popular on RU-vid. I really like the approach of how you see language learning. I feel so related to what you think in this topic. Congratulations from Chile, I am learning English and this kind of content is perfect for my comprehensible input while I learn valuable information :)

I am eager to read "Talleyrand, le prince immobile" by Emmanuel de Waresquiel, which is not available in English. (The life of arguably the greatest statesman in European History is more adventurous than most novels) I have read several English biographies of "the lame devil" , and so have an extensive idea of the narrative already. This video has inspired me to buy a second-hand copy of the book and plunge in.

Such a great video! Thanks so much for this. 😃 Any advice for someone who genuinely doesn't mind going through intermediate or above "comprehensible input" level during early stages? I can happily engage my brain in translation and just take new words from a couple of pages a day, and eventually build vocab through that kind of repetition, yet this may require using SRS Anki on a daily basis to build vocab. It may seem like a relatively tough sprint to start, but I believe the compound effect will kick in. The thing is, I'd rather engage wirh more authentic and "intellectually stimulating" content lol. Any advice would be awesome. 🙏 Much appreciated!

Perhaps this method would be more "free-flow" at times, but eventually shift from primarily exhaustive to proportionatly more extensive over time. 🤔

I wonder if you found my Reddit posts about Fluent Forever. I've considered deleting some of those old posts/videos (since I don't really agree with it anymore), but I know they've brought several people to immersion learning / Refold. So probably a net benefit to keep them up. :)

@amiothenes 3 года назад
Hey Justin! I don't remember who wrote the Reddit post but it could have likely been you since I remember the OP was writing about learning French! Your PowerPoint video on the pros and cons of the fluent forever method was such a help! I also agreed about your take on the cloze card types. I stopped using them after a while too. Thanks for commenting here :)

Neat video. Reading is definitely the way to go for acquiring advanced vocabulary and thus fluency. Ironically I have recently had to fall back to reading my first and second languages. I learned to read at the age of four and read endless books in my childhood and in my teens until I just stopped for many years. Since then I have read mostly in new foreign languages and have come to notice that my reading speed has dropped drastically as a result. I used to do proper speed reading but when reading for language learning purposes I tend to fall back to the inferior style of voicing the words in my head to further improve my sense of pronunciation and flow of the language. In the recent years the voicing has started to creep into my casual reading too and dragging me down so now I'm again forcing myself to read properly in languages I'm fluent in. As a tip for those studying Japanese with prior kanji knowledge (either from Chinese or doing RTK): it can be difficult to find reading material aimed at the level of 'early intermediate but familiar with most kanji'. Play Pokemon (XY or newer). It has an option for Japanese with kanji (without furigana) which serves as a great inbetween.

Do you prefer to start reading at level 2 or 3 ? Because I think at level 1 reading is a waste of time. Btw. Do you have twitter or instagram where you also post about languages? I would like to keep in touch with you. Have a nice day!
@amiothenes
@amiothenes 3 года назад
I have twitter @amiothenes When you begin to learn a language, try to immerse using videos with subtitles like tv shows or movies. When you increase comprehension and you would like to read, then try to find a book that matches your level. As your language grows, pick more challenging books!

I know it's off topic, but have you thought about exploring the idea of simultaneous interpretation: listening, translating (interpreting, to be precise) and speaking, all at the same time! It takes an enormous amount of mental energy and can be a great way to enhance one's cognitive abilities!
@amiothenes
@amiothenes 3 года назад
That would be a very hard job to do! One must be very adept with both languages! I've seen a documentary before where they show how an interpreter gets their training and all; very fascinating!

@@amiothenes I've been recently obsessed with this topic: reading about and watch all kind of videos about this skill...I think highly skilled SI interpreters have super-brains: they can do different cognitive task simultaneously! It's just fascinating...And I want to learn it to. Just for fun of it (and slow down my dementia :-).
