Like you I studied Spanish and on off starting in grade school but there is no way I could get through Harry Potter at this point.

When I read in foreign languages, I have a habit of skipping over words I don't know or quickly trying to figure them out, then moving on. I find that strategy helps me keep up a comfortable pace of reading and pick up on the main gist. have you thought about reading any Gabriel Garcia Marquez books in Spanish? 100 Years of Solitude is my favorite.book.ever.Liz Kashihttp://greenrevivalblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-43030977790020335202015-03-26T18:27:10.149-04:002015-03-26T18:27:10.149-04:00Thanks!
