Hi Saran, I am Mongolian like you and funny fact I have same first name is you. I speak few languages at different levels (Russian, French, Japanese, English,Italian and Turkish) I like reading literature like you.
A new language is a new window to different cultures and people that you cannot understand truly without speaking it. To learn a language, you have to love it : it can be the country that you want to discover, a writer who introduces you to the language, it can be the cuisine etc.
For me every language was introduced by a writer especially women writers. I began English by Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Italian by Elena Ferrante’s “ Mia Amica Geniale “, French by Balzac “ La comédie Humaine”, Japanese by Natsume Soseki “ Wagahai was neko de aru “ and Turkish by Elif Shafak of course.
Hi Sara, how wonderful to hear from you! I'm so impressed by the number of languages you speak. You're a polyglot in the true sense of the word! Amazing! I agree entirely that loving some aspects of the country/culture helps tremendously too. I've also been influenced by many women writers and I'm so happy to know you've been too. That's a wonderful list of books right there. Thank you for sharing :)
