Hey guys!
I am a native german speaker and, beyond that, I really love the German as well as the Russian literature. Then I thought, well, why not create a place where other people can start to embrace this culture as well? Even if it's a foreign language to them? Where you could translate every word by simply hovering over the text and then save and revise the sentences. I found that reading it in its original captures the rhythm and emotion the reader intended in a much better way.
I learned the Russian language that way. By constantly reading texts and therefore letting my brain infer the meaning from its context. I have included a Russian as well as a German Room where you can experience the Literature with English as well as Spanish translation.
Well, overall, I create a website which is called languagethroughliterature.com and I wanted to share this resource with you. I'm happy to receive any remarks about my little project. I do believe it can provide genuine value for anyone trying to learn German and/or Russian without having to learn arbitrary Duolingo sentences. It's mostly free so nothing speaks against trying it out.
The famous Brüder Grimm, are included there. They are not too complex and rather simple to read. Furthermore, the Russian room features a collection of stories from Chekhov, alongside works by Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Turgenev.
Anyways, let me know what you think.
All the best on your language journey :)
