Many language learners focus on speaking, but without words, there’s nothing to say. That’s why I consider reading to be such a powerful tool for fluency. It builds vocabulary, reinforces listening, and helps words stick.

Bonus tip: when you read and listen together, you give yourself more exposure to the language, making it easier to recall words when you speak.

I use listening while multitasking, but when I sit down to study, I read. What about you? Do you prefer listening or reading when learning a language?
