any recommendations for French Graded Readers?
Comment from : ametora

I can’t understand anything that I read unless I translate everything into English I’ve been studying Portuguese for 8 years now and I’ve visited Brazil 18 times but I still can’t converse or read I study and practice every day I practice every day with my girlfriend who only speaks Portuguese and we’ve been doing it for over 5 years now but I still can’t understand her What can I do to learn? Thanks

Dear friend I love your passion Could I suggest you add English subtitles? It would be so helpful for my teenage students I'd love them to not just learn English, I'd love them to discover the pure joy of reading! Thanks!!

Any recommendations for grader readers or bilingual bookd for German? Thanks Robin, I am a big fan
Comment from : Roberto Bracamonte

Would you recommend getting books that were written for children of that language like elementary level starting to read themselves Like I am learning Spanish have been for a few years but haven’t put in a lot of time and effort to show for it I am trying to pick it up again I really need help remembering he verb conjugations for past and future tenses

I also really like graded readers, it does feel good to know you've read something longer than a couple sentences/paragraphs in a grammar book Reading a novel in your target language is a nice goal, but you need to be very proficient in that language first

nice, informative vid!

I haven't found any Korean graded readers available in the UK but I have a book by Korean Unnie 10 children's folktales where you have Korean, English and individual vocab which is great! I really want to try the "Harry Potter" method, I've heard a lot of people talk about that, your method 2, I think Really interesting watch, thank you
Comment from : Hope Fillled Day

I'm at the 3rd year of Japanese self study I'm starting to read actual novels and it's a great feeling I'm using a variation of method 2 I read the novels on which some of my favourite anime shows are based so I know most of the context already

I'm going on a binge of your videos, man This is fantastic Also, confirmed with this video that you will love my app idea ( xtinaparkcom/#/aboutDuoLivre) Maybe we could even work together on it, if you'd be interested! {Planting the seed} (;
Comment from : Web Development with Xtina

Maaaann a lot of what you're talking about isn't only applicable to language learning I would recommend replacing "in a foreign language" to "difficult topics" or make your titles and tags more generals Your content is insanely useful to even people like me (tax practitioners) that read through Internal Revenue Code and Regulations I've used some of the methods you mentioned, and I love how well you explain it man Hope to see your channel blow up!

Outside is cold, soft bed, cozy cover, cup of hot coffee, interesting book:-) You are so right :-)
Comment from : Artem Sindyakin

Thank you very much for your videos 👍 I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago i find your videos inspiring and motivational Your ideas are very much practicalmy husband and I immigrated to Cansda six and a half years ago I was motivated to learn French fast but it took me some time to adapt to the language I was demotivated at some point thinking I'm not too smart for a new language after 50- I work at a daycare as an english educator After watching your videos, I am more confident to practice French with my co workers and the community - even if I make some mistakes, I ask them to correct me Keep safe and healthy 😊
Comment from : Lara

I found so-called easy-reading books extremely boring and normal books too difficult :)brYou now make me a great taste for fresh start ! :) :)brMany Thanks
Comment from : Michel Golabaigne

For hundreds of years people would learn another language by reading the bible in a foreign language and comparing it with their bible For example, this was great for poor sailors on long voyages The bible has the advantage that every sentence is numbered, so you can compare say, Proverbs 13:20 "Walk with the wise and become wise" in each I downloaded FREE audio bibles onto my iPhone in French, Spanish and German Many organisations exist to promote the bible for FREE! The scholarship behind such translations is top notch It would be hard to find a language without a bible translation There are worse things one could read
Comment from : Wilkie1951

I just started reading and actually reading out loud a few weeks ago it’s amazing how much more I can already understand!! I’m working my way up to reading Twilight in French! And I’ve always hated reading and tbh I’ve never read a whole book in my life I’m so excited to know enough to be able my first novel ever as I enter my 30s haha better late than never
Comment from : Ebbie Versace

I remember the day when I got my first easy reader it's one of my favourite memories And holidays when I was reading it and my first real novel
Comment from : Anna P

A great video! I can't wait to get into Dostoevsky!
Comment from : Irene McNamara

Hey, I've actually ready three of the French books on your bookshelf (Si c'etait vrai, Elle & lui, and La delicatesse) The only one I actually liked was Si c'etait vrai, but I learned a lot from all three
Comment from : Justin Armstrong

Robin 2 Questions? What do you think to reading out loud if you have no one to talk to?brMy partner is French yet she speaks fluent English and I find it more difficult to talk to her in French because I feel I may be judged more so than I would speaking to a friend in French or a tutor Is that normal?
Comment from : Billy Wade

Hi Robin! Any advice for blended active/passive reading? For example, I am an advanced Spanish learner who wants to improve my subjunctive and use of accents I am also an avid reader, and enjoy reading in Spanish to improve my comprehension, sentence composition and vocabulary Are there any strategies for absorbing specific grammatical features that I encounter when reading?
Comment from : Isaac Ross

Robin you're the best so far youtuber to teach your tips and techniques to learn new languages, thank you so much because most of the others are so super superficial and always give those chichê advises such as "listen to music, watch tv shows, use this particular method" I've always been quite lazy to read books and didn't believe that It would make such a good difference, but It kind of changed completely my way to go from intermediate to advanced
Comment from : Alexandre dOliveira

What's everyones idea in terms of comprehension? Do you look for the 70 /30 split that seems to pop up a lot? brFor German I never bothered, but with Japanese because of the characters, I find myself looking for more of a 50/50 thing just so I feel each time I stop that I want to continue because of the story, and not just brute force it brbrCool intro and logo Also like the editing around your house, I need a bigger sofa
Comment from : James Robson

Hey Robin! I’m reading my first set of graded readers - B1 Spanish - and have a question: when you’re reading, are you trying to read and translate into your native tongue as you read? Or simply read and accept the words as they are vs constantly trying to translate? I feel like at my early intermediate level, I’m still in the constant-translating phase and hoping to advance beyond so things feel more natural
Comment from : Danny Wascou

I absolutely love reading! Thank you for your tips Your videos are just great 😊
Comment from : Esther and her Little World

Nice video! Regarding graded readers, me being Spanish would you recommend them in order to learn French? It is so alike that it seems that I can just jump straight into the Harry Potter book In case you find them helpful, do you have any recommendations?
Comment from : MuEnViFitness

Right on cue as I start reading Alice in Wonderland in my current target language Some great new strategies for me to try Though I have actually never read the books, I am familiar with most of the characters and general story linebrbrI really like the new intro pulling from various previous videos It was fun trying to remember which video each clip came from

And he's back! 👍🤗 I missed your daily excitement the last few days
Comment from : polyronin 裴朗

Interesting topic Reading is extremely important when it comes to learning a new language!
Comment from : Jag lär mig svenska

Way to start out the new series with a lightning strike, Robin Solid advice, as always - and also advice that leaves a broad range of options to experiment with The joy is not just in the goal, but in the process itself Finding those processes and steps that help you unlock one's growing facility with the language is as sweet a nectar as the day one comes to grips with a challenging concept that one has been "noodling" on Looking forward to Wednesday Happy Monday, Robin!
Comment from : James Davis-Ford

I bought 'Le Chapeau de Mitterand' by Antoine Laurain 3 months into learning French (hey, I was enthusiastic) and even now, 7 months later, it's one of the most difficult French texts I have come across :') Being able to read fairly easily it is my reading goal for the end of next year Right now I am reading 'L'étranger' and loving it I think poems are worth mentioning too, far less intimidating than books :D
Comment from : Lily A

Two thumbs up!
Comment from : signmeupruss

what about "the first chapter rule"? hehebrIdk to me bilingual books have some kind of an element of learning so I'd say it's boring I prefer to choose books looking at an audience they are for If you're a beginner, pick some books for kids, if you're intermediate, choose books for teenagers and so on
