@elilla @enby_of_the_apocalypse I started reading books in French at the same time that I started learning the language overall (which I admittedly had an advantage in because I had Latin in school and am relatively fluent in Spanish). Even though I did not understand everything it helped me so much for getting a feeling for the language so I can no pick up the grammatical concepts easily when they are explained to me.

After reading a few chapters in French my brain continues to make up nonsense sentences that feel French, afterwards. Like a small child that's singing and babbling.
