  • Hey there, and thanks for this vid.

    I have a quick question:

    Will this work with any language? I'm a pretty fast reader when it comes to our normal alphabet, but I've been studying Japanese for 6 months now and I finally know the first 2 alphabets. We're looking at *about* 204 signs, depending on the combinations.

    Do you think something can be done to increase my speed in japanese? Maybe not for this technique, but your other videos.

    Also, maybe I just need more time with Japanese.

  • That's a great question. Honestly, I've only studied my methods with the English language. With a different language, I would think that the same rules would apply. The goal of my speed reading exercises is for reading to become visual rather than auditory, so for a language that is based on visual pictures I would think speed reading would apply that much more, but I don't know for sure, you'll have to let me know how it goes.

  • NOTE: You can also read numbers and letters up-side-down! Try to read a text from a newspaper or a book up-side-down. With a little practice, you will be able to read it... sitting in a train, and read the newspaper from your neighbor... :-)

  • Correct! This another great exercise that can proove most helpful in increasing one's reading speed. Thank you for the comment.

  • i think you can get 100X the practice by playing a very fast videogame :)

  • @19DiesIrae87 Train your fingers ? o.O

  • LVL UP! +10 ap!

  • @19DiesIrae87 If that was the case, I would probably say that none of these rules apply.

  • What if you're blind?? Hmm?? =-\
