Unusual, evidence-based ways to get better at a new language
At least for Christians a good way to learn a foreign language is to read the Bible in that language, because<p>(1) they are probably used to read a chapter or two on a daily basis (thus, the routine is already there),<p>(2) and they probably remember some passages in their native tongue (thus, already having a translation of the text).<p>This helped me. YMMV.
