Why READING in a foreign language will speed up your learning: Where to begin with Olly Richards

“The very fact that you can do (read) anywhere, without barriers, makes it an incredibly important tool.” - Olly Richards ‪@storylearning‬
For many, reading is the least of their worries when it comes to learning a new language but Olly Richards, inventor of the StoryLearning method, says it’s not something to be overlooked.
Olly’s method teaches reading skills through stories - using the same natural learning process children use to learn their native language. The polyglot, who speaks 8 languages, calls reading the “brain-friendly” way to learn a new language and claims it can speed up your overall learning.
