For people whose first language is not English maybe translating the book could be a good substitute (never tried this approach personally though)?

- randomswede 6y agoAs somsone who's currently trying to translate an instruction manual from one language to another, it is... somewhat fragmentary. Yes, you read the text, multiple times (and in multiple languages). But, the focus is not on internalising the material, the focus is on producing something that makes sense in a different language. I guess part of the problem is that the source material I am working from is from 1596, in blackletter, and pretty archaic "source language", so the actual process is "transcribe original", "translate transcription".
