Hey friends! I was recently asked, how fast do I read books in different languages? Actually, it depends a lot on the language and on the book I’m reading, and also on my mood at that moment.
Timestamps:
0:00 Introduction
0:21 Reading in Russian
0:43 Reading in English
2:18 Reading in Spanish, Polish and my other target languages
4:07 Have I ever measured my reading speed?
6:12 Conclusion
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

P.S. I apologize for reading from a script. As some of you already know my story, I can read, write and understand but I still struggle to put my thoughts into words even in my own language – Russian. :)
Here is my story:
▶ I understand but I can’t SPEAK – my language learning problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVElNKVWM18&t=0s
▶ I asked 5 native speaker teachers (EN, SP, PL) and one Russian therapist about my language problem https://youtu.be/hz1OVaoDyhE
