A Christmas Carole
Have you read "A Christmas Carole"? I'm reading this book for learning about English culture.
I can easily read modern English novels(like "Turtles All the Way Down"). However, it is difficult for me to understand this Christmas story correctly. (And I don't know why.)
Anyway, since it is said Dickens is an excellent novelist and worth reading , I will keep reading it.

it is old english, the further you go back in history the harder it will be to understand old english writers, there are many classes on shakespeare as many modern native english speakers will miss meaning behind words that are no longer commonly used

Thank you for the tips and messages! I will read this novel little by little :O)
(By the way, doesn't this app have a reply function? Forgive me if I'm wrong.)

Micha, give your self a break; this novella is over 150 years old. Language has changed since then. Plus authors in those days used stylised language rather than what people said in day to day life. But good for you, I must say. Oh, forgive me for saying this, but it's 'A Christmas Carol' (no "e").

Yes, I've read it! Sometimes it is hard to understand Dickens because he uses some older English than is used now. If you send me a line or paragraph that you are confused about, I can try to explain it.
