Yeah, nothing new under the sun. It's still a fact that many people who try it instantly want to Spritz everything.

I know that just about every combination of 4-8 letters has been attributed to some kind
of app or website, but what a miserable name "Spritz" is... Anyhow, given that the process of reading this way is fundamentally different than the process of speed reading (as described in the ppt that Doitsujin posted, thanks!) I'm willing to entertain the notion that this may be more effective for foreign language learning than traditional speed reading techniques. Perhaps if you had somehow built a good vocabulary but still lacked reading speed? In short, I'm dubious but interested. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

My experience matches YnEoS' almost exactly. I am generally a really slow reader but had no trouble working my way up to 600 wpm. There were moments where a word or two slipped by, but generally i could follow along. Paragraphs were much easier to follow than titles, which i missed more often.
I'm not sure that it's really as enjoyable as reading a book, but the idea YnEoS mentioned sounds promising as a quick way to review something. I'm curious how they would add Chinese support. 1 person has voted this message useful |
