If you're trying to learn a language, use the Assimil books.
They have the target language on the left side and usually both a literal and an easy-to-understand translation on the same height of the page on the right side.
Sometimes with explanations as to where the expression comes from.
Also: very little grammar (only to the extended needed, nothing upfront)
Best books I ever found for learning languages.
I have no affiliation, but learnt 2 languages to B2/C1 level with their help.
