1
I used to struggle a lot with reading and with studying in general.
2
Two weeks after my final exams, they found out I was actually pretty severely dyslexic.
3
Which explained a lot, but didn't solve anything.
4
I was still reading painfully slow and the information just wouldn't stick.
5
That frustration turned into fascination.
6
I wanted to understand how my brain takes in information and how can I actually remember it.
7
Eventually, I developed my own system and method.
8
And it worked so well that I was able to finish my psychology degree, which normally takes about 40 hours a week, in just 8 hours a week.
9
Hi, my name is Mark Tichelaar.
10
I'm also known as Focus with Mark.
11
I have a background in neuroscience and neuropsychology, and I've sold over 300,000 books on focus.
12
I've also trained more than 100,000 people to read faster without losing comprehension.
13
And some of you are thinking, well, there's no way I could ever do that.
14
I get it, but I'm severely dyslexic.
15
If I can do it, you can do it.
16
What I like about this video is we're not only talking about it or explain how to read faster, we're actually going to do it together with simple exercises.
17
And just like lifting weights, you always start light.
18
So please grab a book that feels easy and comfortable, even if you read it before, that's totally fine.
19
Are you ready?
20
Let's train your brain.
21
Well, the first misunderstanding about speed reading is if I read faster, my comprehension will drop.
22
Funny thing is, the opposite is true.
23
If you read faster, your comprehension will actually increase.
24
Why?
25
Our brain operates around 1400 words per minute.
26
That means in one minute you can think of 1400 things.
27
But the average reading pace is around 250 words per minute.
28
Meaning there's a gap.
29
And that gap is always filled with your own thoughts or with distracting surroundings.
30
If you increase your reading pace, let's say to 400 words minute, in this video you're going to discover how, you're closing the gap or in other words you're filling the void.
31
Meaning there's less room available to be distracted and therefore you're more focused and therefore your incomprehension increases.
32
Of course if you go too fast your comprehension drops again.
33
It's all about the balance.
34
The second misunderstanding.
35
I must be skipping text if I read fast.
36
Nope.
37
With this method you read every word, every comma.
38
You can skip information if you choose to, but the method itself doesn't skip anything.
39
After this training, I can only read fast.
40
Also false.
41
Think of it like shifting gears in a car.
42
You gain more gears, but you decide when to use them.
43
You can read slow, you can read fast, you're always in control.
44
The reason why speed reading works is because of two reasons.
45
First, you train your eye muscles.
46
Second, you guide your eyes more efficiently.
47
That's the foundation.
48
Let's look how your eyes move normally across a line.
49
Imagine a line of words.
50
This is how our eyes move across that line.
51
They're jumping forward, forward, backwards, forward, backwards, backwards, forwards.
52
Those backward jumps, they're not really helpful at all.
53
It's not conscious rereading, they're automatically little glitches in how our eyes move.
54
So the first goal is turn that into a smooth movement that looks like this.
55
Once again, the words and this is the movement.
56
Do you see the difference?
57
Let's try a quick test.
58
My question is make a small circle motion with your eyes.
59
Keep your neck still and only move your eyes.
60
It's harder than it sounds, right?
61
If I draw your eye movement, it looks like this.
62
Alright, now the second part.
63
Make the same motion again, but this time follow the circle motion with your finger.
64
Alright, well done.
65
If I draw this, it looks like this.
66
Did you feel the difference?
67
What's the second time when your eyes were guided?
68
More difficult or easier?
69
More intense or lighter?
70
And this is speed reading.
71
With speed reading, you guide your eyes during reading.
72
Guiding your eyes make the movement smoother, what also means you absorb information faster with less effort.
73
Let's start applying this on a physical book.
74
Later, you can do the same with software when reading from a screen.
75
Please grab your book right now.
76
Let's start this method on paper text.
77
You will use a finger or a pen underneath the line.
78
Just guide your eyes from left to right.
79
Let me give you some quick posture tips as well.
80
Bring the book close to the edge of the table.
81
Sit slightly back, move from your elbow, not your wrist and keep your arm relaxed.
82
Ready?
83
Here we go.
84
Alright, and stop.
85
I'm curious about your experience.
86
Most people find this awkward at first.
87
Your eyes want to go faster than your pen.
88
It's totally normal.
89
Around 85% of you will experience this in the beginning, including me.
90
A small group, around 15%, immediately feels more rhythm and focus.
91
Either way, for now, is totally fine.
92
You will notice the difference soon.
93
Let's start with the first exercise to train your six eye muscles.
94
During this exercise, you will hear a tick.
95
At every tick, your pen or your finger should be reaching the right side of the line.
96
This exercise is not about comprehension at all.
97
You won't understand what you're reading.
98
And that's fine.
99
We're simply training your eyes to handle higher speeds.
100
Grab your text right now.
101
Ready?
102
Here we go.
103
Let's go.
104
Please make the veil particular with the lightest and lightest capacity and isús anniversaries into this post sieve.
105
figures and theisha by the tens self ダメ has captured the najgo
106
walls.
107
Here there is a hole in between whether
108
All right, the last tempo was actually the same tempo when we started this exercise.
109
Did you feel it was a little easier?
110
Or did it felt a little slower?
111
That means the training is already working.
112
Normally we focus on one word at a time, but our eyes are naturally see several words at once.
113
In technique 2 we're going to use that.
114
It looks like this.
115
Your eyes make fewer stops per line, which increases your reading speed and still keeps your comprehension.
116
The key here is keep a steady rhythm.
117
If you start thinking too much of where to place the pen, your tempo becomes choppy and your comprehension drops.
118
Smoothness is key.
119
Let's test this out.
120
Grab your text again, read at your own normal comprehension level and apply the second method.
121
If your comprehension feels choppy, add one extra stop per line and smooth out your tempo.
122
Alright, we're going to do a second exercise to train your eye muscles.
123
Once again, during a training exercise, we deliberately don't focus on comprehension at all.
124
We only focus on training the muscles.
125
And the only way to do that is going faster than our brain is able to comprehend the information.
126
During this exercise, we're going to read in three blocks.
127
Your normal speed with full understanding of the text, doubling your reading pace, roughly 50% comprehension, tripling your reading pace, almost zero comprehension.
128
And then we go back to normal.
129
This trains your eyes to move comfortably at a higher pace.
130
Ready?
131
Here we go.
132
Start reading the text at your normal reading pace with full comprehension.
133
Now double your reading pace, you should have around 50% comprehension.
134
If you can still fully understand the text, you're not moving your eyes fast enough to train them.
135
Great, now triple your reading pace.
136
You should have zero comprehension.
137
Just move your eyes from left to right, as fast as you can.
138
Great, now start reading the text at your own normal reading pace.
139
Awesome, you're done.
140
Now the third technique.
141
Earlier I told you to start at the first word of the line and end at the last word.
142
That was on purpose so you wouldn't guide only half the line.
143
But now we're going to adjust that.
144
Your eyes can see several words to the left and right from where you focus.
145
So instead of guiding from the first word, we're actually going to start between the first and the second word.
146
You still see every word.
147
You're just using your visual field more efficiently.
148
This adds another 10 to 50% to your reading speed.
149
Alright, grab your own book or study material.
150
Choose a fresh chapter, something you haven't read yet.
151
Important principle, maybe the most important principle.
152
Never ever force your reading speed.
153
If your concentration drops, go a little faster.
154
If your comprehension drops, go a little slower.
155
Always stay at 100% full understanding of the text.
156
Speed reading also means smarter reading.
157
And one item is always highlighting.
158
Should you do it or not?
159
I did it intensively during my study.
160
I highlighted pretty much every line in the book.
161
Well, a study from Harvard shows that highlighting information has no effect whatsoever on remembering that information.
162
It is useful though to find information back, but it doesn't help you to store the information in your long-term memory.
163
The second element in reading smarter is when do you remember the information?
164
Let me explain.
165
Most people like to combine reading with remembering.
166
And it makes sense, right?
167
I'm reading a line.
168
I want to remember that line.
169
But keep in mind, absorbing information and understanding information and remembering the information are two different parts of our brain.
170
If you try to remember the information during reading, it means you're ping-ponging back and forth between two brain regions.
171
and that slows you down tremendously.
172
It's way more effective to focus purely during reading on absorbing the information, understanding the information and only after reading, let's say after a chapter, try to remember that information.
173
It sounds pretty weird but keep in mind this is not a different way of remembering, just another way to structure your time.
174
Is it reading, remembering, reading, remembering, reading, remembering, reading, remembering, exhausting, or is it reading, reading, reading, remembering, remembering, remembering?
175
The second way to structure your time in this fashion is increasing your reading pace, and more importantly, it makes remembering information much more effectively.
176
All right, let's move on to reading from screens.
177
Reading from screens is totally different for our brain.
178
First of all, we read much slower from a screen.
179
Even from an e-reader, we read about 20% slower.
180
From a traditional screen, we read about 25% slower.
181
Second, we absorb the information not so good.
182
Our eyes tend to fall off the lines more and obviously we scroll more.
183
And last but not least, it's quite difficult for a brain to remember a digital text.
184
With a normal book we roughly know I'm one third of the book and the information is on the left corner just below the image.
185
With a digital text it's just one blur of information which makes it more difficult to remember that information for our brain.
186
But obviously you cannot print out every information so luckily there are software that assists you to read faster from a screen.
187
There are two software tools that pops to mind.
188
The first one is focusreader.com and I'm one of the founders of that.
189
That software tool guides your eyes pretty much in the way we did with the first technique, so in the fluent motion.
190
The second one is called Spritz.
191
It's based on the second technique.
192
Spritz shows one chunk of text at a time in the center of your screen.
193
Therefore, your eyes doesn't need to make any jumps.
194
Spritz is great for a quick overview.
195
Focusreader is better for deep reading, especially pdfs.
196
Alright, nice job.
197
You learned the the foundations you trained your eye muscles, now it's time to apply this on your own real reading.
198
So, pick a chapter today and practice one of the techniques.
199
And let me know in the comments which is your favorite technique.
200
I'm reading all the comments and obviously I'm speed reading them.
201
I hope it was helpful.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
