[Book Blogger Hop] August 25-31st


Book Blogger Hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to discover and follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend bloggers, and gain followers. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday where there will be a weekly prompt following a bookish question.


Question:
Have you ever read a book written in a foreign language you might be fluent in, and then read the same book in English?

Answer: 
That would be really cool! But unfortunately, I have definitely not read a full book in any other language other than English. In high school I read a lot of poetry in French and then in English, but that is it really. I don't know any French now that I have been out of high school for a while. The only other language I know other than English is I know a okay amount of American Sign Language.

Thanks for reading!

  1. That is neat that you were able to read poetry in French in high school! I haven't retained much of the Spanish I learned in school, I'm afraid.

    I hope you have a great weekend, Heather! Thank you for sharing.

  2. That is so awesome that you know how to do American Sign Language Heather. I so wish I can do the same. I only read English books even though I am bilingual in Spanish, but there is a reason why I don't read Spanish books which I explain on my blog hop post. Thank you so much for the awesome post have a great weekend and here is my blog hop link.

    1. That is really cool that you're bilingual! I wish I had learned a different language when I was younger. I will check out your blog hop post now! <3

    1. I wish I could! I feel like that would be so cool. I'd love to learn another language well enough to be able to read the Harry Potter books in that language! And I loved learning ASL in college, it's such a great language :)

    1. I super recommend trying out ASL. It's such a fun language to learn. I probably have forgotten some since I have been out of college for a while but I am hoping that even the basic stuff I know comes in handy! :D I will check out your post now! :)

    1. Thanks!! It was a lot of fun to learn in college. I really wish I could have kept learning it even after college because I enjoyed learning a language that I could actually learn (I have a lisp that makes it hard for me to speak English, never mind another language).

  6. I wish I knew another language. I bet I'm missing something by not reading books in their original language.

    1. Me too!! I wish I had been more motivated as a kid to learn another language. I need to start using the DuoLingo app again.

  7. I wish we had better language teachers in school :( I only learned weird things like words for mountains and other geography and verb translation... oye!

    1. Right?! I don't even remember anything from French class. Other than us being so bored that we'd burst out into giggles when our stomachs started growling before lunch hahaha.
