Of course it makes sense, but you just need to be careful to pay attention to what is actually said, and not to read over it because you already know the meaning.karolinab5 wrote:I would really like to read something in Russian and I think I'll start soon. Could anyone reccomend something very easy for the beginners? Maybe "Маленький Принц" as well? Does it make a sense to read the same book in Polish, then Spanish and now Russian? I almost know it by heart...

I'd love to read it in original, the best of the bests by Stephen King
My first book in foreign language was "The complete works" by Oscar Wilde in English of course. I didn't get through the whole book...no wonder, it consists of over 1000 pages not mention I was around 11 at that time so it wasn't the best choice for the beginning of my adventure with English.
As far as I can see from the posts most of the people start their French with "The little prince". I had the same idea for practicing my Spanish with "El principito".
