My “problem” is that I cannot (or rather don’t like to) read in my native language.
Ever since I was a kid, everything I did was in English (PC gaming, online chatting and searching things up like guides).
When I got back into reading (couple of years ago), my first book was in English. Ever since then I have been reading books only in the English language. Whenever I try to read in my native language, I can’t concentrate, get bored quickly and easily.
However, if I pick up the same book in the English language. I can guarantee that, I’ll keep reading it.
Recently got a book gifted to me, the book is in my native language. I want to read it, the story seems interesting but can’t get into it because it is in my native language. Might just get the ebook version in English, ha.
Was wondering if anyone else has this too.
German Author -> in German |||| Rest -> in English to improve my English. I am between B2 and C1 and my ego wants C2 ^^.
In the next years I am planning to learn Icelandic then I will switch to read more in Icelandic and less in English. I see reading as a good opportunity to learn a language.
