Create the Right Reading Environment:
Find a comfortable and quiet place for your reading sessions. Minimize distractions to fully immerse yourself in the text. Remember, the goal isn’t just to learn but also to enjoy the stories and explore the language. Choose a story that matches your preferences to make the experience more engaging.
Skip Some Stories (Strategically):
Skipping a few stories is acceptable, but only after completing at least 80% of the content in your current level. Avoid skipping too many stories to maintain a balanced mix of challenging and easier ones, ensuring steady progress in mastering the language.
Avoid Word-for-Word Translation:
Don’t translate every single word. Instead, focus on grasping the overall meaning of sentences and paragraphs. For unfamiliar words, try guessing their meanings from the surrounding context. This is a valuable skill that enhances your understanding and natural language processing.
Enjoy the Journey:
Finally, stop distracting yourself by overthinking the destination. Remind yourself that this is a significant challenge and a journey that can transform your future. Make the most of it—or risk missing out.
