The Importance of Reading Out Loud

Reading out loud in your target language is a powerful tool for language fluency. By practicing regularly, for just 10 minutes a day, with resources you are passionate about, such as books, comic books, podcast transcripts, song lyrics, or even TV series subtitles, you can train the muscles in your mouth to become familiar with the language. This practice is not only for beginners, as even talented speakers in their mother tongue need practice. The key is to take action and make the effort to speak, as fluency cannot be achieved by simply relying on language courses or materials.
