What language do you read in? (lemm.ee)

I read in both Arabic and English. Some books are very hard for me to grasp, so I find a translated copy and read it in Arabic. For example, I'm currently reading "the Count of Monte Cristo". It Has some old English that gets me confused a lot, even though I have a Kobo where I can just press and hold on a word to translate it, but still, the storyline as a whole got confusing, so I read it in Arabic. Much better. I'd love to hear from folks here :)

Man, I want to learn Spanish as a 3rd language, too, but not have the time. Any extra time I have now, I read the ton of books I have lined up.

Once you learn a language enough that you can read a book (with the help of dictionary), it becomes much quicker and fun to get better in it.

I have over 500 books on my Kobo. About 90% of them are non-fiction. I even have books from the 14th century that I want to read.
