Extensive reading and learning German with parallel texts: Why?

Extensive reading means reading a lot in a foreign language. It is not important to understand every word. You just continue to read in order to find out what happens next. The pleasure of reading is really what increases language abilities. Kato Lomb was a Hungarian interpreter who spoke several languages fluently. She described in her book “How I Learn Languages” how she used extensive reading to increase her vocabulary fast.
