I'm a simple man. I like to make fire and stare at it for hours.
I always start with the 1930/40s era 'Teach Yourself' language books in conjunction with the Anki flashcards app.
Once I am done with that, I'm around a B1-ish reading level.
Then I grind through an Ebook of Harry Potter book 1 with digital tools to assist me.
After I am a firm B2 reading level.

What is with people trying to conflate language?
The verb 'to read' literally does not mean 'to listen'.
You don't read an audiobook — you listen to an audiobook.
You can say 'I finished that book' — you can't say 'I read it.' Words have meaning.
It's really not that difficult, people.

You have to add your other languages in your StoryGraph settings page.
Then when you add a Spanish edition of a book it should show on your stats page.

Sure. Some readers have legitimate preferences. I just find the most strongly opposed and flippant about e-readers are non-readers.
They're the ones that like, 'ew, no! I would only read a real book' (this is despite them not reading single book since they left school)
