It took about a month for me to get through it, but I’ve finished reading the first Harry Potter book in French. I chose to refer to a dictionary only when an unknown word came up frequently, or when I was very confused by the surrounding text.
My confidence in my French ability is so much better. I’m much better at working out meanings of new vocabulary as long as the words are in context!
Of course now I have to get better at comprehending spoken French.
Perhaps I should get the second Harry Potter book on tape in French?
