I read the Twilight Saga, too^^ I'm not quite sure at all whether I read all the books in Englisch, too - maybe the third is missing - but, I enjoyed it to read the story in original language. Although my Englisch could be much better and some details I didn't even recognize because I didn't know the words, somehow almost everything sounded better... strange xD

And it's not funny if you has to look up every third word up in the dictionary. Ok, not every third word, but in every third sentences. (I hope my Englisch in this text is correct!)
It's just normal - in my opinion - that you have some trouble with reading those books. You have Englisch since the
th class, haven't you? With the years, you learn more and more vocabulary, but the younger you are, the harder it is to understand a whole book with so many unknown words. Hm... I think, when I was in your age, I tried to read the
th book of Harry Potter in Englisch - but it was to hard for me and I thought that I had to understand every single word! But that was non-sense. It isn't important to understand all the Englisch words, just to catch the sense. Try to avoid to look up to much words in the dictionary, it won't help you much - but of course, keywords are important to understand for the sense. In Harry Potter 6 oder 7 I read a few pages asking myself about the meaning of "wand" - I thought, it would be getting clear by reading - but I get more and more
and so I looked in the dictionary - and a wand is the so called "Zauberstab" in German. A very important word in Harry Potter...^^

what about you lot, do you watch English movies or series? ^^
Yes, I always watch movies in Englisch - but like dimanche with English subtitles - when I think "You should learn English. You should
really learn Englisch - now!" but I don't want at all. By watching a film in Englisch I can tell myself: It's "learning" - and enjoy a good film, too
Two weeks before today I started watching the Star Wars Saga again and I watched episode III and IV in Englisch^^ I want to watch the next episode tomorrow, but I have to learn seriously a lot of Englisch this weekend because of an important written test on tuesday - important, because the last test was not very good at all... Unfortunately we'll write another test which is as important as Englisch on wednesday. But maybe a litte
rests for Star Wars <3
"May the Force be with you!"
