“The very fact that you can do (read) anywhere, without barriers, makes it an incredibly important tool.” Olly Richards ‪@storylearning‬

For many, reading is the least of their worries when it comes to learning a new language but Olly Richards, inventor of the StoryLearning method, says it’s not something to be overlooked.

Olly’s method teaches reading skills through stories using the same natural learning process children use to learn their native language. The polyglot, who speaks 8 languages, calls reading the “brainfriendly” way to learn a new language and claims it can speed up your overall learning.
