Reading in Korean is definitely slower than reading in English, so that can be frustrating at times, but I can tell my reading speed has already improved from when I started

I typed "back", I was learning it then when I was packing for moving I put all of my notebooks away and took a break

But to be fair, I was always the type who would be the first to finish reading things in school and would have to wait while everyone else finished reading. I read so many books when I was younger that my reading speed in English is obviously going to be a lot faster than in Korean
it's such a difference reading in another language
English can be read at a glance
but korean requires so much focus @o@

But that's also what motivates me to read more in Korean. I want my Korean reading speed to get faster and faster just like my English reading speed did when I was little

I wasn't ever super fast at reading in school, but my teachers liked using audiobooks to read in front of the class that made me slow down even more

Eventually I talked to some of my teachers and they let me just listen to music to block it out so I could read the book faster

Hm... I can read some things in Korean at a glance actually. It just depends on how familiar the word is to me.
I think, like with all things, practice makes perfect! I remember with listening, I would constantly have to think about what words meant at first, but now I just know the meaning of those words
haha when I pass things on the street
or watch the elevator screen ads
I try to see if I can catch any words
but often too fastttt
same with movies and subtitles
I'm just like waitttt for me

I manage to read other languages decently fast, but the problem is I don't pronounce anything in my head properly so that it's faster to read and understand

The really slow part is translating it and finding the right grammar in english

I can relate with trying to keep up with subtitles. That's definitely a challenge
oh yeah for sure
I know I can read English at a glance because I'm super familiar with these letter shapes and know many words haha
I have to take the time to register each character for korean
reading French/German is also time consuming but faster just because the letters are the same

One thing I noticed with translating is that it's harder for me to translate from Korean to English than it is to translate from English to Korean.
it's amazing though
how fast you can read subtitles in your native language
haha

Yeah, I can read English subtitles really quickly in comparison
★~~Questing~~★
I haven't tried translating much either way
but the korean teacher did praise me once for a nice Korean to English translation when we were reading a passage together and she was having us translate one sentence each to check our comprehension
