For the last episode in season 3, I spoke to the very lovely Janina Klimas (@reallifelanguage on Instagram) about reading to learn languages. It was such an interesting chat and we covered so many fascinating areas, such as language acquisition, learning to read, comprehensible input and how 'reading' can incorporate so many more modalities than simply looking at words on a piece of paper.

Here are links to some of the things we discussed...

• Stephen Krashen's 2017 paper on polyglots

• Steve Kaufmann - polyglot featured in Krashen's work

• https://lingua.com and https://www.yabla.com

• Journal en français facile

• An explanation of 'movie talk'

• SQ3R

• My blog post on authentic resources for language learners

• The MFL Virtual Book Club on Facebook

You can find lots more of Janina's ideas and work on her website, YouTube channel and podcast.
