So english is not my native language and these books are not translated to mine and I’ve been thinking if Im’m even gonna be able to read them. My level of english is not bad, I’d be able to communcicate with anyone I guess, I know some slang language around the world. But are these books filled with very hard language or syntax that will be very tough to get through?
(Also, I’m not sure if this post belongs in this sub, so feel free to point that out, and if you’re familiar with any other subreddit that I could turn to, I’d be thankful!)
It’s been a while since I read Marabou Stork Nightmares, but I just skimmed through the Kindle edition and the language is generally straightforward throughout. However, some of the dialogue is in Scots slang, though it doesn’t look to be as prevalent as in e.g. Trainspotting.
I think you’d be fine with it, though I would recommend some of Irvine Welsh’s more popular books first, if you’ve not read them. Trainspotting, Porno, Filth, Glue are better IMO… they do have more Scots slang in them though.
