okay . so i've heard so much about this book but never really knew what it was like and wow, this was not what i expected! 😭 the narrative voice is super interesting but it also has me like "oh my god i hope im smart enough to follow this." im really excited for the rest !!!

You guys.. Im not sure if I can go on 😣🥴😵‍💫

I have an intermediate understanding of Spanish (but my listening is terrible) and im reading La Última Cuentista to try and pull all the concepts I’ve learned so far together. It’s a little overwhelming tho so I’m only reading a couple pages at a time. 😅 My question for people who’ve learned another language through reading: did you stop and translate every single word you didn’t know as you came across it? Because there’s a lot of words I don’t know (a handful per page) and it’s kinda frustrating having to stop reading to translate stuff. But I’m worried if I don’t, it’ll hurt my learning and I won’t actually learn conjugation or vocab etc. I’ll just fill in the blanks to figure out the story. Do you have any tips for learning another language through reading? I know to some extent I have to just jump in or I’ll just keep worrying about doing it “right” and I’ll never actually learn anything. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

How do you feel about posting in empty book forums?

How would you feel if a forum have many posts but from the same person? Is it annoying?

I'm reading a book with so little posts in the forum and I feel restricted on -in?- the amount of posts I should make. I don't think it's that much of a problem tbh, I can just do whatever I wanna do as long as its not really too many posts. But I wanna know someone else's opinion on this too.
