Catching up on Classics (and lots more!) discussion

Welcome to the buffet! Your "reading in french" challenge sounds really ambitious. Ooh, I wonder if there's an audiobook version of "Making It So" narrated by Patrick Stewart -- that would be amazing!

Best of luck. I am in awe of those who can speak and read multiple languages.

Good luck with this challenge!

Please let everyone know how you learned French, Nancy. Your story is very inspiring!

I just love this story! ♥️ I have pulled out Les Malheurs de Sophie and my French dictionary and I'm ready to go for 2025!

You must be a mind-reader. I have it as French book #2!

A question for you, Nancy ....... did you write down every word you didn't know in a notebook, write them in the book you were reading, or not write anything at all?

That is quite an impressive Challenge. Some amazing books. Good luck!

Reading in French started as a hobby...now a passion! It does 'slow me down' but I enjoy the mental chal..."

You are absolutely my inspiration. Spanish will be my language of choice, but I will wholeheartedly embrace this in 2026 (2025 has other demanding projects). Love this group!
