What is 多読(ta-do-ku)?

‘Ta’ in tadoku means ‘a lot’, and ‘doku’ means ‘to read’.

But no.

You don’t read a lot of difficult books. Start reading EASY books that you can enjoy.

Easy books are good for understanding. -> You understand well so you read more.-> Reading becomes a fun thing to do. ->So you read even more. ->Your Japanese gets better and better.

That’s tadoku!
