quoting Anna:
It's the same for me! Ok, my Grammar is not very good, yet, but this is because I'm too lazy to go near my old English Grammar Book
, but When I read my first fanfic two years ago ("When you needed me most" or "The darkest hour", however an Erin' story) I needed my vocabolary every nine-ten lines, now I can read a whole 500 kb fic without going near it!
I can read my Jane Austen' or Henry James' books without italian translation, and above all I can read poetry in English without problems! Poems are so much better in their original language! When I have read an english translation of my very much loved Dante or Leopardi I shuddered! (Probably the same reaction of English-speaking people to italian traslation of Shakespeare or Byron!
