I can read in Spanish more quickly and with greater comprehension than I can in Chinese. Seriously; after three years of study and one year of post-college life focused on China, I am able to comprehend more written Spanish within a few months of my first visit to Spain. (for oral communication my Chinese is still far stronger than my Spanish)
It is disheartening considering how much time I spend on Chinese, and encouraging as to what it suggests about my potential achievements with Spanish. It is also encouraging that I may be able to find
books I want to read in Spanish at the public library in Albacete.
