Hi, 

  I've been surprised at how many books are available online (project
Gutenberg etc. ) or at least large excerpts. It might be possible to be
involved in a discussion if one hasn't read the entire book , and also give
an opportunity to try some translation of key ideas.

  I find the "I only speak american " attitude a bit embarrassing at times.
