In this episode, I talk about the concept of "reading" in a second language.First, I touch on the difference between intensive/close reading and extensive reading.Then I ask listeners to ask themselves why they read in the first place, whether that's in their native language or second language. Of course, I address the big question: "Why read in English when you can just use translation software or get information in your first language?"As usual, I share my experiences studying Japanese and living in Japan as they relate to reading.

It's something new to me as well, so I report on my recent observations.Full transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z5Iy0zJlGp-dBZajT972KlNWCHrPmNI06HhxZr8SP8s/edit?usp=sharing
