1500 is the threshold I think. I don’t understand 1400. I can go a bit further back in my mother tongue, but 1200 is definitely tough for me.

- smitty1e 8mo agoShakespeare is a definite barrier.
- delecti 8mo agoI normally don't use a "voice" in my head when reading, but doing so is invaluable when reading Shakspeare. If I can't "hear" what I'm reading, it's much harder to parse.
- MBCook 8mo agoI can get to 1300, though it’s harder there and there were a couple words that I just couldn’t figure out. For me 1200 is off a cliff, just like the author describes. I can get a few words here or there but comprehension is just gone.
