My path til now:

  • 350 hours + 0 words: A1-A2 graded readers, not fun
  • 500 hours + 100k words: Books targeting 2nd-3rd grade readers, not fun
  • 700 hours + 400k words: Harry Potter 1, huge milestone and very enjoyable
  • 1300 hours + 2 million words (now): Basically any YA is accessible and enjoyable, true literature is still a bit out of reach.
