Learning Spanish is takes time and gets a bit boring at this early stage. Hopefully I'll hit the point where I can start reading Ranma fanfics for practice soon, though.

Mucha suerte! I'm sure you'll be able to get there and experience the joy of Spanish-written Ranma (and the dubbed openings!)

I do know a passable level of French (even if I'm rusty) so that should help.

If you like the genre, in my experience reading horror helps a ton. (from books you know are reasonably well-written) As a genre, there's a lot conveyed through context, so you can keep going even if you miss a word or two, and the process will help you start to get the words you don't know.

A dictionary helps, of course, and knowing another latin language also does. I found some argentinian modern horror when I was first learning, then after that got some more leisure fantasy books that eased me into feeling comfy with the language.

I'm not really a horror fan. It either does nothing for me or it creeps me out too much to be enjoyable and leads to nightmares which mess up my sleep schedule. There's no sweet spot where it's excitingly scary.😔
