Yes, I'm learning German so I'm trying to read stories in German. I'm also setting the captions in some online videos to said language. I'm not yet in a passable level but I'm recognizing more words now.

I mostly read books written in english. That can be considered as a foreign language from where I am.

I don't think that would be possible for me to do . I can never learn the foreigh language do easily that I can even read the books.

I constantly read in a foreign language, as my first language isn't English. Reading is an excellent way to better your skills and learning more about any language.

I read both in English and in Spanish because I am bilingual, so I guess these two don't count as foreign. I have read in French before (I took lessons in the language for 2 years), and I didn't find it as hard as I had expected. A lot of the words are similar to either English or Spanish, and I only had to look up a few words or sentences in the end.
