Reading habits in English

How often do you read blogs, novels, non-fiction books or tutorials? Can you start reading them in English?

Texts in English

Blogs and magazines: Think of all the topics you like reading about, and search in Google the main English-written websites about them. Make all new updates come to you automatically through social networks or RSS readers such as Feedly. 

Books: Shop online for books in English on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk. You can get great deals if you buy second-hand paperback copies. They will likely be cheaper than the same books in your own language at your local bookstore. In case your level is too low, get Penguin or MacMillan adapted books for English learners, or borrow them in a local library. Tutorials and non-fiction books are usually easier than fiction, for its lack of slang and stylish writing.

Online tutorials: Learn to play music instruments, games or other hobbies online. There are endless resources up there!

What to do when you read

1. Don't look up every word you don't know in a dictionary, only the ones that repeat frequently or are relevant to the story. Most times you can simply go ahead without missing the point of the story, or figure out the meaning for its context.

2. Underline words and grammar structures you may know but hardly ever use. Once you finish the book, go over it to review and practice them. Make up sentences of your own.

3. Use a piece of paper to take notes, such as best ideas or your own insights. It can also do as a bookmarker. It's good for your writing.

4. It's not just about understanding, you also have to pronounce well. Make sure that voice in your brain sounds like that of an English speaker. Don't pause after every single word. Link words and have a natural rhythm instead. It'll be great for your speaking and listening.
