Just read more and get good, English is my third language as well and I'm 2000 pages into the Bible and have no problems.

>>9418358
read more brainlet, that way you'll be able to read even more

Why would you read the Bible in English if it's your third language? The original's in Hebrew and Greek.

What are some good books for someone learning Spanish as a second language? I'm at a beginner-to-intermediate level, I can have basic conversations and read Wikipedia articles and The Little Prince, would I be fine just jumping into Borges or Gabriel Garcia Marquez?

Because I enjoy reading in English. I have read The Iliad and the Odyssey in English as well. If a book is written in a language I know then I will read it in the original language, otherwise I will read it in English

The King James Bible is a classic of English literature and as good if not better than the original

Not him.

But I have read the Greek gospels, and the KJV is just better. I love Greek, but the KJV is a masterpiece.

Yes. At least Marquez is piss easy, though i can't stand his fucking purple prose.

You should try Don Quijote when you're done with them. It's not as hard as people make it out to be

At one point I felt the same my native tongue. Unfortunately you will have to read easier stuff and be sure to always search unknown words.

>>9418411
The Bible's Greek is extremely weak. It's like if a bunch of mexicans and niggers tried to write a book in English.

>>9418358
You could read Shakespeare either annotated or completely rewritten in modern English. Some less known writers won't have those kinds of versions of their works though.

>>9418368
tbf bible doesn't have much difficult language

ESL learners are truly digusting.
