I read 15 picture books today. I tried to read them without dictionary. Usually, I use dictionary a lot. But that way makes me reading very slowly. So, I decided not to use dictionary as far as I read easy picture books. Even though there were the books for around 5, I didn't know some words. But, while I read 15 books and looked at many pictures, eventually I could imagine the words meaning. It's interesting experience for me. Does this sound natural?

So, I decided not to use a dictionary as long as I read easy picture books. Even though there were books for around 5 year olds, I didn't know some words.

And may I ask one more question?
What is the difference between "as far as" and "as long as"?
- English (US)
A little unnatural
“As far as” usually refers to a long distance and “As long as” refers to a length of measurement.
