Hi Jack, this is the first time when I see your channel thank you so much for your advices 1bout reading in english . I h1ve a question please, how is called the the back covor of a book that contains like a summary ?

[@livylivytsang7718]

Thx for telling us! So helpful even a point was mentioned by many language teachers in HK.

[@mykasiurka]

Thanks for the Video! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Millawdon Future Ticket Trick (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one off guide for teaching children to read minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend Sam after many years got astronomical results with it.

[@tendressehanane6809]

I started reading in English and French few months ago but I stopped because I found a lot of new vocabulary and I was hesitated between looking up about each word meaning or just coming across and continue to read. I fell so frustrated and disappointed about my week vocabulary. But now, I think that I won't struggle again because I will use your method. Thanks a lot 💝💝💝

[@mariao.8847]

First book I've ever read in English was "A Walk to Remember" by N.Sparks. And I could read it extensively, there were very few unknown words probably because it is quite a modern book with simple language. Another easy book is "The Beach" by Alex Garland, it is also written in modern and simple language. There is a bit of slang vocabulary but it seemed useful to know it. One more great book is "Gone with the wind", at first it seemed too complicated to me, especially those sophisticated descriptions of nature and people's looks, in addition there were lots of obsolete and archaic vocabulary. I simply couldn't get the idea of a character's appearance without looking up every second adjective. But after several pages it became quite easy since I had already memorized some 'new' words and I could recognize them further in the book. If you survived the introduction and description parts, you can really enjoy the rest. Later after having read the book, I wanted to use the vocabulary I'd learned and it was a tricky thing because I always had this fear to say something in an old-fashioned way.

Here are some of the books I've read and recommend Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Edgar Allen Po - Sherlock Holmes Short Stories, Arthur Conan Doyle both for intermediate to advanced level. Four Weddings And a Funeral by Richard Curtis, Cherry Gilchrist for Intermediate Level. Reading biographies can be a fun way to engage with the story and not put the book down. Cheers!

[@katjawithj]

Thank you, I'm reading the stories of Sherlock 🔎

[@bilgetonyukuk9140]

"Four weddings and a funeral". I got the book when I ordered a course book for my preparation lessons. I didn't manage to read the whole book but I agree with you, it's good for intermediate speakers.

Reading Wealth of Nations has been an excellent English learning experience for me. Though I have read only 40 percent of it, my ability to quickly read through and understand complex sentences, that are 50 - 100 words long and consisting of several commas, has improved by leaps and bounds.

"The Giver" by Lois Lowry is a great example of book for beginners and intermediate students. The book is just about 100 pages, but the plot and vocabulary are really exciting.

[@anfloussemeryeme9897]

Hi jack, Thank you again for this useful video, you have an amazing way to explain everything. Well, to be frank, I used to use intensive reading, and because of this method, I get bored sometimes because I feel like every word is new for me, I had to look for its meaning every time; moreover it takes a lot of time to complete the book. That's why I think I should choose the extensive reading which will probabely help me to enjoy the book and also to gain new words after highlighting them. Thank you very much again.

[@sajjadhussain8141]

While I am learning Spanish I like to view videos on various methods. I do make flashcards but I make them hand written with sentence, not just he individual word.

Hi there again..Recently I read a nice book intitled Convitted written by Elizabeth Gilbert. I loved that book, actually it was a gift. I read it with pleasure, but, after every chapter I looked for the words I did’nt understand, but not the whole time, because I could pick up the meaning from the context. I was very proud of me👍

[@helenemorgenstern9110]

My first fiction book in English was Terry Pratchett's "Mort". My friends tried to stop me: "It's to hard, you won't inderstand his British humor in a foreign language". Yes, sometimes it was hard. But I didn't have to understand every single word. And no one has. I think if your goal is to read in a foreign language, you should focus on mening rather than grammar and new words. Kato Lomb read "Dead Souls" with no prior knowledge of russian (but with Hungarian-English and English-Russian dictionaries). It's really crucial to find right book. Rereading is also great advice. Thank you for video.

Hello! Always I love reading and I hate grammar rules, tense. Even my mother language. When I understand this I have over the forty, but still I believe that I'll learning English fluently. I have been studying English my own methods which consists to reading books. The first of all I bought Anne of Green Gables ( I love this book when I was teenagers) and I'm stuck. Then I've changed it to Nicholas sparks and I love it! ( Notebook and the message in a bottle I'll be almost finished) .The words ale more modern and useful and when I'm reading I can't watch the movie, and is the great connection for me. I know that my English is not beginner and not mastery and I make a lot of mistakes. I think that when you read something in foregin language your brain changed. And I'm looking some person on You tube as you who give free advice how to read better... Thanks you for all advice.

Hi, Jack! Greetings from Shanghai, China! Thank you for your video -- I found your tips very useful and I'm definitely going to try them out. I've been reading "Lean In" and "Option B" by Sheryl Sandberg, who is the COO of Facebook. I enjoy reading them both because I find them very inspiring and well-written. I would say both books are suitable for English learners of the upper intermediate level (B2) to the advanced level (C1-C2). What's also good about these two books is that each chapter is relatively independent so you can select any one that looks the most appealing to you to start with. Just wanna let you know that I've followed your channel for some time and I love it! I will keep watching it and recommend it to my friends and colleagues who love learning English.
