If I read Scripture at home as part of my daily spiritual exercises, I read it in my mother tongue so there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to hear it in the same tongue at Mass.

You do realize that at a TLM, the epistle and gospel are generally re-read by the priest in the vernacular before the sermon, so this should not be an issue.

My memories of the TLM of my childhood are somewhat hazy, I'll admit, but I don't ever remember that happening.

I've also been to one TLM in recent memory (not in the USA) and there was definitely no reading of the Epistle and Gospel in the vernacular.

Is that a general thing in the US now??
