Do you read theory in English or in your native language? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've been primarily reading in English because that's the language that pretty much all theory is available in, but I've been having issues translating the ideas into my native language.

My native language is Spanish, but I read it in English. I tried reading it in Spanish but it uses "fancy" vocabulary that isn't common in daily life so I had a hard time understanding

Similar issue here, "fancy" vocabulary is not something that is used in day to day speak here so using those words doesn't articulate the ideas/concepts well to most people.
