I once had to look up a bird’s name in Spanish. As you do, you use Wikipedia. My search brought me to the Spanish version of the site, and I realized how useful it would be for acquiring Spanish.

To date, I’ve concentrated on narratives as stories, fiction. But there are non-fiction narratives that are just as accessible. As yet, I haven’t made much use of them, but they are there for when I want.

A related point is that browsing such sites is at once a form of voluntary reading. Compulsive reading, if you land on the right page.
