「速読の時は最低半分から、を目安にするのが良い」...これは言語には関係ないアドバイスなよう。「最低半分」でも「半分以上」でも、がんばって難しいモノを読めという意味合いはありません。パッと見て、最低半分位はわかりそうだな、と思えるモノを選ぼうという意味です。

Today, I want to tell you about how I read a very long book in French.Have you heard of "Jean Christophe" by Romain Rolland? He's a French writer who won the Nobel Prize. I tried to read it in French before, but I couldn't finish it. This was my second try.
