Reading in Spanish is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the language. This is because when you read, you are contextualizing all the vocabulary and grammar you have already learned. Instead of forcing new vocabulary into your mind with dull memorization exercises, reading allows you to subconsciously learn and retain new words and phases. It is a fast way to improve your vocabulary use in both speaking and writing.

Para el aprendizaje de un idioma, la lectura es una tarea fundamental ya que practicándola no solo vas a mejorar tu comprensión lectora, sino que aprenderás nuevo vocabulario y expresiones. Leer, además, es el mejor medio para abrir tu mente, ya que existen miles de libros en inglés sobre cualquier temática.

TODAY A READER, 

TOMORROW A LEADER.
