Alright, I just need to somehow read a book that is extremely thick and also in a language I do not know.
You know how a lot of people complain about machine translation? Right now I would love to have access to something that amazing. Okay, I have 3 options in front of me.
First, I don't read it at all and try to weasel my way out of it. Seeing how stern my teacher looks I'd say he would probably stop teaching me should I do that. This one wouldn't work.
Second, I can try to learn to read. This would take a long time and potentially only work for this one language. Who knows how many there are out there. If I ever change area would that skill still be useful? After all, I am not sure that I want to establish myself in the diplomatic city just yet.
Third, I could find someone to read it for me and pay them. Only issue is that I am broke. Maybe I should figure out how much such a service would cost?
