I read and finished multiple books in Spanish in college as part of upper level language classes. I also wrote papers on them. Spanish is not my native language. The books weren't bilingual - I'm not actually sure what a bilingual book is, so I'm probably not helping your survey.

I see, thank you for your comment. :) I meant by bilingual book, a book in two languages (original + traduction) often side-by-side. As a non-native book reader, do you think a bilingual book (as I described) could have been helpful at the beginning of your learning ? and why ?

For me, no. The act of looking things up and making notes on them is useful for how I learn. Having them side by side would have made me lazy.

The only book I've ever seen like this is Bibles.
