Comic Books

lazy-learner | intermediate-advanced


Comic books provide a great entry-level source of language learning culture.  Depending on the desired language and your tastes, there are often a range of graphic novels which straddle different styles and tastes.  In some cases, see below, these comic books can provide amazing insight into the culture of the region the language comes from.


Above all comic books provide a perfect combination of dialogue and pictures to guide the reader.  The margins inherent in comic book design provide a perfect space for notes.


HOW

1. Find a comic book of interest.

2. Begin reading and notate any unknown words in the margins.

3.  If using an custom-made Memrise course, you can add these words to your list and study them, however simply having them in the margins can be enough to slowly assume these words into your vocabulary upon re-reading the comic book.
