چطور کتاب بخونم؟

Books are fantastic to improve your vocabulary

English comprehension and grammar.

Most importantly they are fun to read…

If you read every single day

it is guaranteed that your level of English

will improve so freaking fast.

But how should we read?

Today we’ll find out.

Number 1

Choose the right book

2 factors must be taken into account.

Number 1

Do you like that book?

and number 2

Is this comprehensible for you?

Liking a book depends on many factors.

Which category

would you like your books to fall into?

Are you a fan of fictional books

or non-fictional books?

Also it is important

to take the genres into consideration.

Like, are you a fan of horror books?

Comedy?

Biography?

Which one is your cup of tea?

If the book has audio files

and you can listen and read at the same time…

do you like the narrator’s voice?

Do you like the flow of the story?

In a nutshell

any book that feels good

is the right book for you.

But always remember

you have to understand 85

to 95 percent of that book.

It means

you must forget

that you’re reading in English.

You can easily guess the words you don’t know

through the context of that story.

Now with this book

you’re living the language.

So read and enjoy it.

Number 2

set up a plan

How many free minutes and hours do you have?

you wanna set up a daily plan for your reading.

You wanna build a habit

and habits need consistency.

Let’s say you can read 30 minutes every afternoon.

Jot it down.

Writing the task you wanna do

is gonna add some value to it

and subconsciously you’ll feel like doing it.

Start small

and stay consistent.

Make a doable plan.

Number 3

How to read that book?

My recommendation for you is

to read on your pc or your phone.

I personally use Zabanshenas.

the reason behind it is that

I can easily access dictionaries

and make flashcards.

Let’s imagine I’m reading the book Alchemist.

When I come across a word I don’t know

I just tap on it

and the dictionary

is gonna give me the meaning of it.

Remember in extensive reading

it is important to read as fast as possible.

You don’t wanna pause all the time

and check everything.

The reason behind choosing something comprehensible

was to read comfortably

without pausing all the time.

With Zabanshenas you can do that easily.

If you don’t know a word

add that word to your Leitner box.

Do you wanna kill two birds with one stone?

Try listening and reading at the same time.

Find the audio version of the text

and listen to it while reading.

It’s gonna give you more focus

and improve your listening

and reading comprehension

at the same time.

What to do next?

Sit…

and enjoy reading.

That’s it!
