The right order to read in Spanish

Naval Ravikant

​

I like this quote by Ravikant. In the section learn to love to read of the Almanack, he recommends establishing a reading habit. Just start reading anything. But then, it gets more nuanced. After you have a reading habit in place, you want to also be reading the right things in the right order. This applies to reading in foreign languages too.

What does it mean to ‘read the wrong things in the wrong order’ for a Spanish learner?

What are the right and the wrong things? What is the right or the wrong order?

I will make up my own definition here.

• Right things to read in Spanish: whatever feels compelling at any given moment.
• Right order to read in Spanish: go from more compelling to less compelling.

Compelling is something captivating, fun, entertaining. Something you wanna read more of. Not compelling is the opposite of that.

Note that I’m not saying the right thing to read is the ‘easy’ thing. Or that the right order is from easy to difficult. You can consider that in your choices, and I believe that compelling beats easy (otherwise you would read only children’s books in Spanish instead of the Spanish Novels).
