Dear /lit/,
I'm learning german have achieved roughly 20% fluency, or what I assume is about 3rd grade reading level.
Do you have any advice on quintessential children's books, audiobooks, or podcasts I should look into to help me?
Currently i'm looking at reading slaughterhouse five in german with an english copy nearby. I've never read it in english and the vocabulary might actually relate to relatable places.
with love, anon
Should have asked that on /int/.

When I was learning Spanish I read children's books like Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and the Divergent series. I would never read that stuff in English but it was nice to shamelessly indulge and it kept me reading.

sounds like you're ready for nietzsche

That's actually a fine way to learn. I have a friend from Argentina who learned english the same way.

the best way is to read philosophy though
see your understanding of the language is going to be so shitty your brain is going to be working overdrive coming up with 20 different interpretations for every single sentence, then after reading and analyzing a bit you'll revisit previous chapters and try again, it'll be like deciphering a code. you gotta focus though, if you don't understand something read again 10 times until you get it, don't skip
