Reading books is becoming increasingly rare. It has never been a pleasure for everyone, but I feel these days we’ve lost the time people used to cherish as ‘reading time’.
There are so many advantages to reading in a foreign language that I can’t recommend it highly enough.
More than anything else, it’s an excellent source of vocabulary and varied grammar structures.
It’s worth mentioning that written language tends to show fewer dialectal differences than spoken language.
However, if you’re interested in Argentine culture, exploring its most prominent authors is the perfect plan.
