Good morning, TanyabrThanks for your advices I've never read usual books in English before but I have a C1 level in English (reading & listening) and between B1-B2 (writing & speaking) It seems to me that books can widely expand your vocabulary, plus when you're reading you revise all the words you'd already learnt before and that's really nice ("Forgetting curve")brAfter watching your video I decided to start reading books So, I need to find the PDF of Saburo Sakai - Samurai :)brHave a great day!brBest wishes, Anton

Мне кажется у тебя великолепный англ акцент! Когда я начала смотреть твои видео, я даже не поняла, что это не твой родной язык, пока ты об этом не сказала, хотя обычно слышу у др блоггеров (чей родной язык русский)

Your comment about reading children's books made me laugh a bit I'm encountering similar experiences I bought a bunch of children's books and i had actually difficulties understanding some of the language and some of the setup of the sentences, and only after I checked with a native I found out that most of the book was setup in sort of rhyme which put words in different parts of the sentences that you usually would do in real conversations, and used irregular words just to have a nicer ring to it in the story, but are pretty much not used at all in real life

Reading on a Kindle is super practical You can highlight the words you don't know and it will give you a short definition from the (wherever language) dictionary you have installed on your device

I really think this is helpful almost validating advice? I have been trying so hard to keep up with Wanikani for Japanese and I just cannot keep the words in my head, but i've just read through 2 full volumes of Yotubato! ( a manga, pretty easy, but still a native manga for natives) I have to find a middle ground though because I'm going to be trying for the N3 in December and tests are testing if you've done the traditional study brbrDaysofFrenchandSweedish (youtuber) does things like watch the same movie 50 times in your target language, and read a book along with the native audio book, and one time he did the top 1000 most common words in Spanish in 1 day on Anki (he's a youtuber, it was for a video) he said that even though he never specifically studied any of those words from the deck again, he recognizes them in the wild which was helpful I've been pondering trying some of these cause SRS is abysmally boring, and no matter how hard I try I never remember them and just make wild guesses till I get something right

taking notes is not about looking things up later it's just like in school, we write things down to create an additional way of committing new knowledge to the back of your skull so instead of just passive consumption, you'd also get an active element of using a language even if it's on a smaller scale

My biggest advice: don’t read magical realism until you’re fairly advanced in a language, because it’s going to be very confusing when something totally out of place happens!

I definitely don't recommend starting Spanish books with classics It's something I ended up doing after only ever reading a couple fantasy books in Spanish, because I was in a Spanish literature class I was still at B1, and while I could definitely understand a lot a things, it was really a struggle The fact that my main language is French definitely helped, and I got really good at guessing meanings, but I still wouldn't recommend it until you're at least B2 Especially with Spanish literature, because sometimes it can get really confusing, even for native speakers I remember with one classic I was reading, we all had to read a chapter for the next class, and turns out, the president died in that chapter I didn't notice, and out of the 35 of us including about 20 native Spanish speakers, only two did, and they weren't certain of what they had understood either

How you feel about reading aloud? I am practicing an extensive reading a lot, in despite that it probably helps me, I cannot really feel it I have an idea, that if I connect other areas of the brain by pronouncing the text, I will memorise things faster But I must say, reading aloud feels a little bit slow and awkward

I really like to read and I want to learn more about a new language through the books 📚

When it comes to children's books the reason they are so hard to comprehend is that the author is not writing them to teach the reader the language in which the books are written but to entertain small children Keeping that in mind, often the author changes the spelling of words or maybe even the entire word and this is what makes it impossible for apps like Google Translate or whatever you might be using to help you to make any sense of the text you are reading
