Yes, guilty pleasure is the exact term :-D
That's one of the best things about using real input in the languages! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I actually have a question for you regarding reading. I've been trying to find something to read in Spanish,
but most things seem to still have a bit too much unfamiliar vocab. How are books like Harry Potter regarding difficulty? Any suggestions? :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Harry Potter is really tricky for me! I started with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, and then read Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. Both of those were perfect for me - some new words, but most of them I could understand from context. I had already read both novels in English or French, so I knew the story going in, which helped a lot. I've recently ordered two more Roald Dahl books, so those will hopefully be here soon. In the meantime, I'm tandem reading Harry Potter (reading in English and then in Spanish), and I'm re-reading Despereaux intensively (for vocab and pronunciation). I actually put up a blog post today on how I'm using children's novels to learn Spanish: How I use children's novels If you like articles, I find veintemundos really useful for reading Spanish! They have the full article with audio that you can read along to, and they also have a shorter and easier version of the article for beginners. Both versions of the article have mouseover translations of difficult words. Edited by Stelle on 04 September 2013 at 3:37pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
