I love being multilingual. I love reading books so much. and I know most of langblr and bookblr is about academia or classics but my heart is in children's literature. I grew up with my own language and my own country's literature. I get to have my childhood favorite books in my language. and then as I grow up and learn others I get to enjoy other people's childhood favorite books. sometimes I've progressed enough in my language to enjoy those foreign books in their own original language and be filled with joy as I realize how this would have shaped a generation of people. I get to go "what is this word" and look up and have a spark of joy as I memorize a BIG word in a new language. I get to gasp at reveals and twists and turns and fairy tales and romances and horrors of all your children's literature because my language level is still progressing and every new word fills me with wonder. I get to have my childhood and I get to have other people's childhood through my childlike language abilities. I love it. I love reading books!
#everytime I read children or middle grade children's books in my non-native languages#my heart BLOOMS with joy#this is like being a child again. I would never miss it for the world#and especially not to avoid judgement of total strangers who are snobbish about children's literature#yes I'd love to learn your language#yes I'd LOVE to know your childhood favorite books#let me speak your language read your language#walk on the path that is made of your language#please please pretty please?#studyblr#langblr#bookblr#multingual#multilinguist#please feel free to tag this with your native language and your childhood favorite books (series are welcome!%#if I ever get to know your language I will try to read your childhood favorite books
