Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
Ana Widia asked this question about Pride and Prejudice:
Is this book really that hard to read? I want to give this book a shot but the review below said it's really hard to read since this book classifies as a classic ones. And English is my second language. Can anyone help me to get through this?

English is also my second language & I first tried to read persuasion, also a Jane Austen's novel , in english and it was too difficult to me, so I decided to start with the book I like the most (Pride and prejudice) and I must confess I read it knowing by heart all the dialogues of the 2005 movie and I read it first in my language that's why I could understand everything. It may be difficult to understand, but it is a great challenge and if I could you can. Here it is my comment in the other question of people who finds difficult to understand this master piece of literature:
It is difficult to understand the expressions and the grammar.
To understand it first I read it in spanish, then I watch the movie a couple of times (but I recommend you the series of 1995 because it is just like the book) and then I read it in english in my Kindle so I could consult the dictionary any time. That helped me to understand that complicated language and now I can read persuasion, sense & sensibility with no problem :)(less)
