When I read a foreign language, I prefer to read aloud.
You're right that this helps, and I do it when I can. It's sometimes hard to find a place to do this where it's not so disruptive.
For languages I don't know well, reading comics helps me most...and to radio
No comic books or radio, unfortunately, since its a dead language. Thanks for the suggestions though. Now that I think about it, I think I can read Harry Potter. That might be worth looking into.
