00 I'm reading an Harlequin romance. I find the sentences easier to remember than other kinds of English novels. I've heard that these books are written in bad English. What do you think?02br

0It's been a while since I've read a Harlequin, but from my memory, they do not use poor grammar so much as overly simplistic writing and not very original plots. I think as a way to learn English and read dialogue between speakers, it's a lot more fun than a lot of the books I read in "English" class in high school. If you can stand the plot line (hint: girl meets guy, falls in love, something causes them to seperate, they reunite and have endless love), you probably do fine.

00 Yes, the simplistic writing makes me feel (as?) the English language very easy to learn.0-
