English Reading

I'm a slow reader even in Japanese, let alone in English, but finally I've come to feel that it's easier to read in English if the content was originally written in English. I used to frequently refer to Japanese translations when reading in English because I wasn't sure whether I was grasping the content correctly. Sometimes I was impressed by how beautiful and accurate the translation was, but other times, I found out the translation wasn't always perfect. Either way, my own interpretation wasn't that inaccurate.

So, moving forward, I'll only buy the English version if it was originally written in English. I'm glad I'm now able to read for pleasure, not just to improve my skills.
