I'm happy that this log can still inspire! If you decide to start with your three languages -- have you decided what book to do? I've just been handed the first "Twilight" in English. I haven't read it yet. I know Yesasia.com carries Japanese and Mandarin versions... I'm soo tempted to buy it, but I'm already on a budget! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Actually the story has enough humor that it never gets boring. That line from Hagrid "Ah, go boil yer heads,..." makes me chuckle just to think about it! Reading that in different languages is always interesting! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I've read the books about a gazillion times in English alone. Was a big fan of HP growing up. Read the books long before they were adapted for the big screen. There was a 3 year waiting period between Goblet and Phoenix. Most agonizing wait ever, especially since He Who Must Not Be Named had just been restored to his former glory. The only fix was to read the first four books over and over again (as well as Quidditch through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them). 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

I think I'm going to go with Cornelia Funke's Tintenherz to start off. I've never read the book in any language, and I've heard lots of good things about it and I look forward to the challenge. I'll probably read the chapters in a similar order to the way you did it: first Spanish, my best foreign language, then Mandarin, and finishing with German. I can't wait to get started...hope my Chinese copy arrives from interlibrary loan by the end of the week so I can get a good start by the end of the year. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

My daughter and I are big fans of Cornelia Funke! My daughter reads Hinter verzauberten Fenstern (1989) every year during this time. It's about a magic Advent calendar.
I also haven't read Tintenherz yet but I've seen the film. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

In any case, I think this is a great idea. I can already feel progress with my German in just two weeks.
