RE: On revisiting old books

in #thoughtslast year

I felt the same when I was trying to learn Portguese on Duolingo. Each time I tried to understand the grammar I ended up failing... It's best to let it sink in.
Also, many years ago when I first started reading books in English I was struggling... and that was after studying English since second grade. To this day, if there's a word I don't know, I can always guess from the context. English has become so natural for me I rarely read in my native Romanian. Enjoy your books!

Sort:  

I still struggle to read some books in English, but the context helps me a lot. It depends on whether the author uses a lot of fancy words. Haha.

And that's despite the fact that I'm exposed to a lot of English content almost every day.

But, anyway...

Thanks for stopping by and cheers!

I hate long descriptions of nature, but it doesn't matter if I don't understand what tree it is. I wouldn't recognize it even if I did know its name... 🙂

Hahaha... but yes.
