How to reach reading automaticity in Chinese and is it worth it?
Hi,
As an overseas Chinese, I've been learning Chinese consistently for a very long time (almost 15y - I'm 21). I have no problem listening or speaking, but when it comes to reading my mind is often "freezing". Even if I know the words, my mind is processing the information at a much slower peace than it normally would, and I feel it.
I would like to be able to read Chinese as I read English, i.e. instantly and effortlessly. I know that this might take very long. Have anyone ever attained that level of automaticity? And is it worth spending the time?
For info, I'm starting to question this since every time I go on a Chinese app or site I'm like super slow at understanding whereas in English there is almost no time gap.
