Um, I read manga to help me learn Russian. The language wasn't on a kids level. It helped me learned idioms and vocabulary no less. Whatever it is that captures your attention, use it!

Thank you :-) I'm not really a comic book person and haven't been since primarily school (Donald Duck every week for the first few years), with a few exceptions so I'll have to have a look and see if any of those grab me. They'd need to be funny to be worthwhile though (to me). I'll check them out... Liz 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I've always liked reading comics since I was a kid and nowadays I still read a lot of them, specially in English, but thanks to the annual international book fair, I've gathered some "Topolinos" (Mickey Mouse in Italian) and some others in Portuguese.
It's not that you can learn a language just by reading comics, but they do help .... I think you have to enjoy reading them in your mother tongue, in order to like reading them in other languages. Edited by rggg on 27 October 2009 at 2:44am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Asterix in Latin is a must for those who want to use their Latin actively. And the editions in different German dialects are also priceless*.

Where do you get the Russian manga? Do you download it from the web? It sounds like a good idea. Does anyone have any suggestions for comics in Russian? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Anyone who has studied Finnish for a while I would recommend trying to get hold of 'Aku Ankka' magazines (the Finnish vesion of 'Donald Duck') or you might be able to find bits on the Internet as well. The language and the expressions they use are of very good Finnish, brilliantly translated and very funny :)

I've read some manga (Fruits Basket, LOL) translated from Japanese to French. I found it very helpful, a little bit like watching a movie, because at least you can see what's going on.

I just took a quick look on amazon.de and found some famous comics translated into German, but I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for native German comics? Something non-childish, preferably. While I'm asking, I wouldn't mind recommendations for Swedish as well.
