I love the creative presentation and focus on motivation. Language study is a longterm project. Keeping motivated is essential. I think I spent the first five years focusing regularly on motivation, until it eventually just became a part of me.
Shout-out to my fellow kids who speed-ran the summer reading programs and wound up with suspicious librarians quizzing us about the books to make sure we'd actually read them…
At this point I'm still at graded reader level, but I'm looking forward to being able to try Korean YA books. I've already started keeping a list of titles that have been recommended.
Also, the Teach Yourself A Language class is excellent and I would definitely recommend it. If you're the sort of person who can roll your own project plan from scratch and stick to it, you might do well on your own. But if you find you learn better when you're going through a structured curriculum that was thoughtfully developed to lead students through developing new skills and habits, you might want to consider it.
This helped me read more in my TLs but unfortunately I still don't read as much in English nor my NL...
Yass, I love the humor in this video. I chuckled a bunch of times out loud 😂

If I read a kid's book in Dutch people would ask questions.
But then again, I am Dutch.
Can you install Lute onto kindle?
No, it's only a computer program right now
I have Le Petit Prince beside me in English, French and Japanese - I guess I should get reading....
I started to reading that book at the beginning of my journey in albanian. But, it was so difficult. Short books for children can be a good start.
Yes, or get a audio book and the book will read itself.
I just starting Harry Potter Sorcerer's Stone in Spanish. I have the English version to check on my comprehension! I have forgotten a lot of it and what fun to read it in Spanish.

Wow, to je tedy hodně složité čtení, bravo!
