As for what I read, it's mostly English with the occasional book in my native German thrown in for good measure. Why? I like English, I prefer reading English speaking authors in their native language, and I aim to improve my command of English as well.

And I find it fairly easy to read basic Romanian news articles. But, I would never venture into a novel..I think I would fall into the depths. My Spanish and French help me for the most part.... Fortunately Romanian Cases aren't the nightmare that Russian ones are... otherwise I would be cringing every time I look at a Romanian website. Love the language.... But not many speakers where I live at the moment.
