How to read a novel in a foreign language by Sunrish

"It's hard in the beginning but do not give up :)"

How I did it: Well, I wasn't very good at english but then i started watching TV shows in English and to pay attention to lyrics when a song was in english . Then my sister bought the 1st Harry Potter in english and I just started to read it . To be honest it was kind of hard in the beginning so I gave up but my english teacher asked once to pick a book in english and to read it . I picked Twilight because i really wanted to read it since a long time . And I was surprise to found out that I read the 544 pages in a week ! I felt great after and now I just read ALL the books from foreign writer in english .

Really just try it because you have fun and in the meantime you can increase your english (or any other language). Of course it's not perfect but still !

Lessons & tips: - Pick an easy but interesting book , I read for example Twilight, Harry Potter and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. Their all really great and easy !

-When you don't know a word don't stop reading and look for it in a dictionnary . I always had next to me a paper sheet so when I come across a word that I don't know often I just look it up AFTER .
- Do not give up :)
