How to read a novel in a foreign language
How I did it: I learned German for 2 years at uni and during this time we were supposed to read German novels as part of the course but I normally read the English translation as I felt that my German was not at the appropriate level. However I then realised the only way to get it to the appropriate level is to just read and practice. So my advice would be stop makin excuses to yourself and just do it! Start with children's books and work your way up.
