Here is a question that a lot of learners struggle with: do you stop reading to look up the definition or just continue?

This highlights the difference between:

Intensive reading: when you read to learn new words and analyze the language.

Extensive reading: where you don't stop and you read for pleasure.

More on my reading for fluency method soon but first...

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BOOK FOR YOU:

1. The genre: the category. Choose books that interest you.

2. The level of the book: if it's too difficult to understand, you won't enjoy it and it won't help you. Choose graded readers. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o7DTuOYn0o

3. Books you enjoy: if you don't enjoy the book, put it down.

FINDING BOOKS (GREAT TIP!)

Go to https://www.amazon.com and "look inside" a book that you may enjoy. Start reading it and get it if you think it's appropriate.

Find books with audiobooks too.

INTENSIVE vs EXTENSIVE READING:

I recommend that you do both. Here is how:

1. Read extensively but highlight words (sentences that you don't understand)

2. Do this for each chapter or for a certain number of pages

3. Go back and look up anything you don't understand

BONUS TIP:

Take the sentences that you have highlighted and use Anki - https://apps.ankiweb.net/ - to create flashcards.

This is a way to internalize the new language and grammar.
