Trying to read books in another language definitely gave me a lot of perspective on how difficult reading is at a lower skill level. I couldn’t tell whether thingss were metaphorical or literal; I couldn’t remember the start of a sentence by the end of it; I skipped difficult pieces of text and ended up with completely the wrong idea because of it
Oops, enter’ed too early. Those were all things I’d given my dyslexic partner shit for in the past - I (mostly) shut up when I realised reading is actually bloody hard!
