Not yet, but I need to do a lot more reading in both languages I'm studying.

I only read in foreign languages - that's a bit sad. I should go back to my native French some day!

Not of a high enough level to call it reading yet but my favorite learning activity for language is to take a Manga and try to read it, I can get a bit through it but I hit a lot of Kanji I don't know.

I try my best to read something in most of my languages, even if it's only 15 minutes. I probably read and write more in English than my native Swedish.

I read texts written in English, French, German and Latin almost every day. Now I'm beginning with Ancient Greek texts and try to read Old French from time to time. It has been a very important part of my life for a few years.

I'm currently reading a novel in French, a novel in German and a history of medieval Germany in German. Since I've just finished a large French novel I'm concentrating more on the German. My German isn't good enough to read poetry properly yet, but I'm looking forward to being able to do so quite soon.

In her book "Polyglot: How I Learn Languages" Kato Lomb says she used reading as her
primary way to learn languages. I'm planning to increase how much Italian reading I do. I've been listening to a lot of podcasts in Italian but grammar is really crystallized in text. I actually learned a lot of English that way when I was a kid. Edited by ChiaBrain on 31 December 2009 at 10:14pm 2 persons have voted this message useful |
