@Enema_Cowboy@SimonRoyHughes@translators@writingcommunity@writing@reading@bookstodon Hello, I'm a native Spanish speaker who has read the original Don Quixote a few times: it's like it's in a related, but different language (for example, the x now in Spanish makes a completely different sound, so we spell the name Don Quijote). I can understand it, but the reading doesn't flow, it takes extra effort. Similar to you reading, say, Shakespeare.
