Read, Speak & Enjoy Language Learning
how it works
First, join a group in your language of choice: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French or Mandarin Chinese.

We will meet four times a month in small groups to discuss approximately 25% of the book and answer questions related to the chapters.
Those who want to take it to the next level can sign up for the PLUS Club, which includes additional one-hour speaking or writing workshops tied to the week’s reading.
