I need some international help!

[Cassie 8]

I am working on a cross stitch design that may possibly be submitted in a contest. I am designing a bookmark that promotes literacy. I am hoping you all can help me out! If you could tell me what the phrase "I read" or the word "reading" looks like in your native language (either letters or symbols), that would be fantastic! I want to make sure I use the correct translation. thanks all in advance!

I smell an international incident in the making. Make sure and verify all of the translations!

When I was a G.I. in Germany one of our favorite pranks was to convince the new guy to go ask a German to dance in their own language. Needless to say they weren't asking them to dance. A few actually got smacked.

I'll ask my Wife what the translation is in Vietnamese and post it if no one else has.

For Thai, try this website:

"I read" does not translate, but "reading" does. It gives several alternatives with the meaning of each one.

I read = yo leo (present tense)

reading = leyendo as in an activity in progress (present participle) like 'estoy leyendo' = I am reading
