📚 Elon Musk allegedly reads 2 books a DAY! That's over 37 million words a year! (For comparison, the average person finishes only 14 books a YEAR.)

Most of us will never get to Elon's reading volume, but we language learners should at least aim for the attainable goal of reading 1 million foreign language words a year (or roughly 1 book a month).

In this video, I share why reading is so important in language learning and my best tips to get more (and BETTER!) reading practice.
