Linguisitional Literature

I have a linguistic disability that seems to make it impossible for me to learn non-English languages. Yes, I've tried and failed many times, much to my personal embarassment.

I propose that a publisher take classic works of Western Literature (including modern classics, like K. Vonnegut, whose works would lend themselves to this rather well) and modify them so that the reader will transition from English to, say, German throughout the course of reading the book.

Chapter 1, or a suitable number of pages, are completely unaltered English. The last few pages or chapters are completely proper German (for example). The in-between chapters are a gradual transition between the two, introducing new words and different grammatical structures as appropriate.

Sure, the technical "rules" of language would have to be thrown out for the transitional sections. For example, we might find a sentence that was constructed with overtly English words, but had a German structure to it.

Avid readers may often find that the words they're reading are really transparent: though a reading experience moves through the words, the words themselves seem to disappear. We read the story, not the words. So a gradual enough transition would not be disruptive to this experience, and would allow the story/meaning to carry the reader across the language barrier as if it were as inconsequential as a national border.

I wish I were competent enough to provide an example. Perhaps it would be possible to create a babelfish cousin that could automatically create such a text from any input.
