How do I understand the language in Pride and Prejudice? I'm 13 and we haven't studied it in school but I would like to read it for fun but I can't understand even the first page! Can someone please help me out!

Same thing happened with me . . . even though I was about 15 at the time. Nevertheless, we hadn't studied it at my school till about two years ago. Maybe you should get the Annotated version, which helped me. :) Besides, you could always read it again when you're a little older, and then by that time, you might understand it better.
But it is a very good book! It definitely gives you a feel for the era.(less)
