Show HN: Making Don Quijote accessible to Spanish learners https://ift.tt/JYjyfGw

Show HN: Making Don Quijote accessible to Spanish learners I love simple english wikipedia and I wanted to use that style of writing to make spanish books accessible to me. First I simplified the spanish[0] but simplification can't remove every word I don't know. This led me to adding the definition for words I probably wouldn't know[1]. Second simplifying the spanish ruined the magic of Don Quijote so I tried just adding definitions to the original[2]. The definitions aren't perfect but they let me stay in the flow of the text. I'm tempted to make a firefox extension to annotate any website so I can spend more time reading spanish. Let me know what you think!
