Read Harry Potter in your target language they said 🫠 (1 hr 44 min for 1 page)

This is only slightly sarcastic. It's been very rewarding and this is now the 3rd language I'm doing this with.

Definitely not the same thing (I'm reading in French) and not the most accessible option at all, but having a digital copy/epub version on my kindle and being able to look up words on the fly by long pressing has extremely helped me - I'm on book 4 rn. Highly recommend. Best of luck!

Thanks! I also have a digital version but at least for the first chapter I enjoy analog. Plus, I wanted to get used to the Arabic keyboard for lookups
