Learning Guides
Can you learn a language by reading the websites you already open?
Yes — if the page stays comprehensible. These four guides are for people who keep bouncing off English docs, Spanish news, a Japanese blog, or a Korean article, and want a method that does not replace the original text.
Each guide explains the reading challenges of a language and ways to choose texts, look up words, and check meaning.
Try the original first, then consult a dictionary or translation where needed. After reading, explain the main idea in your own words.
