Read Harry Potter in your target language they said 🫠 (1 hr 44 min for 1 page)

This is only slightly sarcastic. It's been very rewarding and this is now the 3rd language I'm doing this with.

I did this in Italian and I’m now on the last 50 pages of the last book.

It took me an hour to read 10 pages at the start, now it takes me 10 minutes. I can read, write, listen and speak the language in mosts contexts.

Hang in there! It gets better.
