ForeignEars's Motivation

I love reading books in Russian, but sometimes they're too difficult to understand so I use apps like LingQ or a dictionary to help translate unknown words. When there are too many it ruins the flow of the book. Graded readers have been around for a long time to address this problem. The issue is they're often not very interesting and are simplified novels or fiction that doesn't really interest me. They're also expensive and short and to get the best outcome you need a lot of content at the right level. So I decided to start building a massive supply of interesting non fiction books that I love in English, for example Atomic Habits, that I simplify and rephrase to a certain difficulty level.
