When learning languages, do you use books other than those who belong to a language course in order to boost your learning? Is there any book that has helped you specially to learn a specific language, because of the clarity of its explanations, the amount of information, or some other factor? If so, it would be great if you shared with the other Forum Members the name of the book, the author, and your comments and experiences with it.

I have found the Tintin comic books to be both pleasant and useful to practise my target language. Comic books are an easy choice.
Firstly, you can often guess the meaning from the pictures and the context. Secondly, you can buy the same book in English (or your own native language) to compare not only meaning but how they express the same thought. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ideally, I like to find a picture dictionary or similar reference work. Easy for the major languages - but quite difficult for smaller ones i.e. native american. But what I've done is visit the reservations and ask and they will produce some grade school teaching materials and often have a store where some tranlated cultural materials are sold, sometimes with the original text on xeroxed sheets.
