Do you read books in a foreign language ?

And if you do, what do you do with words you don't know?

Do you use a dictionary or just get the meaning through the text?

Do you check the pronunciation or not?

 

When I read, the book absorbs me and I don't take time to open a dictionary. I still understand the story but it often leads to mispronunciation (at least in my head).

In English, the pronunciation is not always what I thought it would be !

 

So, what about you? What do you do when you read books in a foreign language?

Maths is / Maths are In British English, maths is written with an S whereas in American English it's written math without S. In British English, what should I write ? "Maths is everywhere" or "Maths are everywhere" ? "When your maths is done, do your French." or "When your maths are done, do your French." Same question in American English : "Math is everywhere" or "Math are everywhere" ? "When your math is done, do your French." or "When your math are done, do your French."

Why not do / Why not doing I would have say "why not doing" and I've recently read "why not do". I googled both and it seems that "Why not do" is more used. Is "why not doing" acceptable or not ? Do both sentences have the same meaning ? "Why not do your homework?" / "Why not doing homework?" Thank you for your help !

I'm new here ... ... and I don't know how this website works. So, what should I do now ? Maybe introduce my self ! I live in a small town in France. I've got two children, I'd better say two teens ! I love travels and English language. I'll be happy to help anyone who is learning French.
