Reading Harry Potter A week ago I started reading Harry Potter and the philosopher stone. I decided to read this book in English after a friend from Italki asked me if I had read HP in English ( I had told him I was a HP fan). After the question I wondered "why not trying it"?. I started to search on the Internet a quick way to buy the first book but I seemed that it would take weeks to receive it. So, I decided to read on my iPad. In the beginning it was, seemingly, something that I couldn't attain because I noticed lots of words that I didn't know. Reading on iPad is good because I can easily tap in yellow a word I don't know. Afterwards, I look for the meaning of some words. I decided not to look for all the meaning or I wouldn't finish the book. My goal is to read roughly 10 pages a day and it seems to be a feasible aim. I am not able to pin the book down. Indeed, sometimes I feel lost. But it doesn't matter, since I have read the book when I was younger I remember almost everything that happens. I am really enjoying the reading and I intend to write about the book in order to see how much I really understood of it in English. Further, I am learning new words! I know some words are hardly ever used and some of them are invented by JK, of course. I think reading something you like it's an altogether pleasant way to keep your motivate in learning a language.

Reading Harry Potter

A week ago I started reading Harry Potter and the philosopher stone. I decided to read this book in English after a friend from Italki asked me if I had read HP in English ( I had told him I was a HP fan). After the question I wondered "why not try it"?. I started to search on the Internet a quick way to buy the first book but I seemed that it would take weeks to receive it. So, I decided to read on my iPad. In the beginning it was, seemingly, something that I couldn't attain because I noticed lots of words that I didn't know. Reading on iPad is good because I can easily tap in yellow a word I don't know. Afterwards, I look for the meaning of some words. I decided not to look for all the meanings [or every meaning] or I wouldn't finish the book. My goal is to read roughly 10 pages a day and it seems to be a feasible aim. I am not able to put pin the book down. Indeed, sometimes I feel lost. But it doesn't matter, since I had read the book when I was younger I remember almost everything that happens. I am really enjoying the reading and I intend to write about the book in order to see how much I really understand it in English. Further, I am learning new words! I know some words are hardly ever used and some of them are invented by JK, of course. I think reading something you like it's an altogether pleasant way to keep you motivated while learning a language.
