What I’ve noticed so far:
- It’s definitely slower to read with the help of a translating app, than just reading a book in a language you know. But it’s going much smoother than I was expecting it to go.
- Sometimes I don’t even need to use the app. Already knowing a few Germanic languages does help. And learning a few basic Swedish words with Duolingo is really paying off very quickly.

Someone recently told me about how well a translating app worked while they were on vacation in Japan. The first thought that popped into my head was: would it be possible to read a book in a language you don’t know with the help of a translating app? So I bought myself this book in Swedish. This is either a really stupid idea, or an absolutely brilliant one. Either way, this just seems like a very fun challenge.

It does take a while, but it's worth it. It's a different kind of read than I'm used to, but quite interesting.

Als je trouwens leuk materiaal zoekt om je Zweedse woordenschat uit te breiden: ik vond deze een toffe als intermezzo: Från tunnelbana till fåtölj

Hope the story is going well, Thibault. :)
