Anna talking about the “explorer mindset” and then putting a picture of Dora took me out, I love this girl🤣😭😭
fun editing indeed!
not an expert on this at all lol, but when i read books in another language i usually look up the meaning of the word if i can’t understand it through context, otherwise i just keep reading so as to not stop the flow.. i would only write down recurring words (that i don’t yet know) or particular phrases and idioms! maybe this isn’t the best way to learn new vocab, but i feel like it’s the best way for me to get into the language

wow, good schema
but I have a question please, How you can try to be a barista ?
@@shahdsukkar694 Well, in our country, you can go for an internship or take courses. If you find an employer, they can hire
not trying to be rude but I don’t recommend you exercise everyday, you have to let you body rest at least one day a week
@@Roxy_303 OK!
For reading books in a foreign language, I NEVER look up words.... well, almost never. If you feel like you aren't understanding what's going on because you don't know one word, then look it up. But I don't write it down, I just look it up, then keep reading. Because ultimately writing down the words you don't know will slow down the process and you will enjoy the book less. Reading with the audiobook can be helpful as well! For more beginners, the audiobook would definitely be great help to remember pronunciation, but if you are advanced and don't want to, then it's not necessary. Good luck with your goals!
agreed i feel like you end up understanding in the context most of the time
I agree partially. I would say that it depends on your level. If you are at a A1-B2 in a language, then I'd highly advise against writing down all the unknown words because it forestalls the rhythm. However, if you are at a B2-C2 level and find new words in a book, do write them down. At least in my experience this has proven as beneficial. Currently I'm reading a book where there's 0 to 1 unknown word per page on average. The book has 200 pages thus eventually by writing the words down, I'll be able to incorporate many of these new words into active vocabulary, and without a doubt 200 in my passive vocab. Because if I hadn't written them down, I would have most likely just obliterate them from my short-term memory.
My goals
- Become fluent in English
- Learn Python
- Meditate everyday
Ur English Seems Great Tho!
Very nice, i want to learn Python too, I'm from Venezuela.
My goals are similar too
I love the fact that everybody is obsessing over Maneskin thanks to Eurovision. I'm Italian and i've been a fan of theirs for four years now and I'm going to their concert too this winter in Milan!
even though I'm not into them like anybody else, I won't lie they are really good and deserve their rising recognition.
Hey! Can you understand Spanish? They say Italian and Sp are so similar. Like what percentage can you understand? I am learning Spanish and also obsessed with Måneskin hehe :)
@@ecexx. Not quite. There are similarities (since they are both Romance languages) but they still are two different languages.
When reading a book in another language that you're learning, try to understand the context and "guess" what a word you don't know means, and then if you really don't understand, look up the definition. That's what my English teacher told me when I was learning English and it actually helped so much.
I used to watch English youtubers without subtitles and guesses the meaning of the words they used based on what they are doing / holding / showing
My goals:
- Learn Spanish.
- Learn C#.
- Work on my football Skills.
- Learn how to swim.
- Spend less time on social media.
- Practice keyboard typing so that I can type 100 wpm.
im also trying to improve my wpm lol
Oh my god I literally started with my Italian course two days ago becAUSE OF MÅNESKIN 😭
I clicked on this video and my reaction was OMGGGG SHE IS SO PRETTY
the visuals she is serving us are so GAWD
FR
Can't believe she recorded the entire podcast sitting in her bathroom, yuh I'm kinda telling you that I love the podcast & already suggested to all my friends . We are the growing soul! Ily! ❤️✨
What is her podcust called?
She has a podcast????
Where can I find that podcast? ☺
@@shahdamjad267 she's given the link in description
@@blue.8598 where?
For the language learning in Spanish, I like to read a chapter and then imagine I'm talking to someone and trying to explain it. That way you are forced to learn new vocab with old vocabulary to keep expanding your ability to understand something and communicate that understanding (or lack of understanding). Those questions will also probably keep pushing you to learn other words and concepts in that language!
Hope that helps!

` Finish 'Advance Grammar in Use' - 25 units to go, yayyy
` Learn 50 new English words per week (isn't my first language, obviously)

and I wish everyone good luck who've read to this point!
My goals:
1. Start TH-cam + new ig
2. Make good content
3. Auditions
4. Room decor
5. Start drawing/painting
6. Go to therapy
7. Mental health
8. Clear skin

hot tips for the reading in a foreign language biz (my german class uses this method for our textbook)
1. Do a quick skim of the book highlighting any words you don’t know, put the words onto a set of flash cards/quizlet etc. and learn the words (as you do) to the point where you can recall them immediately.
2. Read book again and it should be easier to understand
I know this takes forever but if you want a deeper level of understanding this shit is it
about language learning through reading books: i definitly agree that not looking up every word you don’t know can be quite distracting from the reading practice. usually if it’s not a word crucial for understanding what is being said, i wouldn’t stop and look it up immediately, but instead quickly underline it and go over those pages i read later to filter and eventually filter these words.
omg as a spanish speaker i love when you speak in spanish, it literally made my day, you're the cutest
as for reading, i usually look up the meaning of words only in case i don't understand the context or i know that the word is used by native speakers in daily conversations. there is no point in writing down every single unknown word you see, this way reading a book will make you tired really fast, so just choose the words that you think are most often used and you're able to learn them (and not forget the other day u know) and also choose the words that YOU will use. since i study at the faculty of foreign languages i have no other choice but to learn the words i write down bc it's a monthly task lol but it's really useful !
My goals for summer ( 5 weeks)
• Read a specific book
• Read a book in Spanish
• Watch a Spanish movie
• Take care of my skin
• Workout once a week
• Practice more questions and make notes for my A-level subjects
• Spend some time with my friends
i feel like learning naturally is the way to go because if you have to note everything you are not going to enjoy the book and get into it, its what i do for books in english (im a native french and dutch speaker)
One of the goals i really want to achieve this summer and hopefully for a long terms is sleep before 11 😩😩
omg YES I feel u
omg NOW I GET YOU MÅNESKIN OBSESSION, let's pray they do a london show in the future😭
imma need a makeup look on this look ma'am cuz u look fine af damn
bruh i need to move to europe or something. listening to someone in london talking about being in italy a few times a year sounds so easy. going from America to another country feels like an in-depth excursion
felt that
I’m Russian who is trying to level up my English, so I picked up “1984” by George Orwell for my summer reading. I have B2, so I’m really capable of understanding the vast majority of the words and grammar construction, but there are of course some stuff that I have to translate, so I just find words that I don’t know and write the translation above them and keep reading. It’s quite quick to get used to, it doesn’t take much time from understanding what’s the book about too. And in future, if you want to review some stuff, you can do it whenever you want. Hope I helped a little ✨
In addition, I’d like to say that I really like your vids🌟 keep doing you’re amazing💛
Привет! Я учусь русский язык и знаю английский язык B2 level. Я не знаю если бы вы хотите но я думаю что мы можем помогать другу чтобы развивать наши языки.
@@amaranth9360 hi, i'm also from russia! if you want to practice more, feel free to text me, i'd be more than glad to meet you and help you with russian! my instagram is @ sattonika
Hey,I'm trying to improve my russian and I have C2 english level.If you want we can exchange languages!I can help you with your english and you help me with my russian.If you are down,let me know!:)
about language learning and books, if you don't mind defacing your books, underline the words you don't know and then the next day look them up and write them down OR look them up as you read AND underline then check the next day if you remember, if not then take it down! hope that helps :)
My goals for summer
1.learning a new language
2.doing daily meditation
3.working on my English(becouse Im going to take IELTS exam)
4.Walking more
Good luck! ^^
Thanks a lot
Good luck on your studies tooo
I personally developed a technique for reading books in foreign languages. I use iBooks and highlight words or phrases that I don’t know using different colors depending on the category of this word or phrase (basic, sophisticated, collocations and idioms). Then I finish reading I do separate vocabulary lists and learn them focusing more on basic words and collocations because they are obviously more useful🙂 ( I am a native Russian speaker, so I use this method for books in English)
I would love to see your italian learning vlogs cause i am learning italian now 🌹🌹🌹
you should add seaspircy and cowspiracy to your documentary list if u haven't already seen them. :)
yesss Ive seen them and they’re so mindblowing when you watch them for the first time!!
@@AnnaLenkovska that’s so awesome you’ve seen them!! they are hard for me to watch but totally worth it. I’ve learnt so much from them and the documentary Earthlings.
no sé si funcione al revés, pero cuando estaba aprendiendo inglés Harry Potter de verdad me ayudó!!! así que quizá deberías leer HP ya que ya sabes la trama ❤❤❤
aAaAhHh no esperaba verte aquí 🤍 amo tus videos, queen ✨
@@ausmendoza_ jaja qué hermosoooooo, graciaaaaaaaaas
8:50 I’m a English learner myself and no matter watching TH-cam videos or reading books I don’t usually check every single word that I don’t know every time cause I do this for relax! And if the word is really useful it appears in many where and many times that you’ll probably get the meaning and usage by yourself~
btw love your videos 🤍 they are inspiring and help a lot :D
My goals💫
-improve English, at first I just wanna learn new vocabulary
-start learning German( but after I hear your Spanish I think about Spanish haha)
-workouts
-learn 2-4 dances
-drawing
-read at least 8 books and one in English
-i will try to deal with self-esteem, try to increase it
As a Spanish speaker who stared learning English being 3 , I really recommend you to write the words you don't understand in a paper and when you finish a chapter o whatever you want to read today look or it on a dictionary. because maybe if you continue reading you can understand the meaning of the word without stopping to look for it. it worked for me and actually I speak 3 languages fluently.
When I started reading in English I basically only looked the meaning of some words that were extremely necessary for understanding the book, so I would recommend trying to read it naturally :)
about the vocab question, what i usually do is keep reading even if i dont know the word but if i see it repeats a lot then ill look it up
По поводу чтения книг на иностранном: стараюсь большую часть слов если и переводить через словарь, то не записывать, а стараться запомнить (они потом будут мазолить глаза и постоянно повторятся, так их и запомнишь без записи в словарь), и если слово какое-то необычное, или где-то раньше я на него попадался, но никак не мог запомнить - выписываю в словарь. В целом, лучше стараться додумывать и не останавливаться надолго из-за перевода. Поэтому и книги надо выбирать простые, типо попсовых подростковых книг а-ля "голодные игры" или six crows
To answer your question regarding your 11th goal, I have read the Harry Potter books as a way to improve my language skills in English, and what I did was researching recurring words, and words that seemed really important to the general meaning of the sentence (for practical reasons). Each time I researched a word, I noted its translation down on the page with a pencil, under / beside the researched word, so that I could go back to them if I forgot about them. Eventually, I found that these new words kept recurring, and with repetition and a bit of a memory effort, I memorized them quite naturally ! So I would say that in order to make your reading "productive" (besides fun, ofc), you do need to translate some words, but translating all of them isn't a necessity, because if you keep on reading books in Spanish, unknown words will recur, you will then know them, and you will be able to learn/translate less-recurring words that are more specific to the context of the book, and so on and so on, until you hardly need translating anymore ! That worked for me :)
oh my gosh you look absolutely gorgeous!! the tattoos, the nose ring, the hair, everything !!! you're stunning
on language learning with books:
the way I usually do it, if theres a word I understand in context I might write it down (or not even that, depending on if I'm more in a study or a reading mood). And for words I feel like I need to understand, or just want to, I look them up.
so how many words I look up greatly depends on whether I am reading for pleasure or learning that day, but I like to keep it like that :)
I think it depends on your level, however I usually keep reading because 1 I otherwise lose the flow and reading becomes a chore and 2, most of the times through context you will figure out what the vocab means when you keep reading
I would underline or circle the unfamiliar words as I go along and then look up the words after I finish the chapter, writing the English above or drawing a line out towards the margin and writing it there. I also don't tend to look up every.single.word: if there are lots of unfamiliar ones, I try to infer meaning from the context as much as possible. I prioritise circling and looking up words that recur and verbs :)
About the vocab thing you said while reading books what i usually do is that i highlight the words I don't know but continue reading the book after I've finished the book i go back and look up the words this way i can come back and study them again also i pay more attention to reading while also enjoying it.
this was such a fun video to watch! you really inspired me to make my own summer goals for 2021. i'm gonna go to pinterest to find some ideas. i hope you and everyone reading this will be able to check off most of the stuff from their bucket list. happy summer!
Is noone gonna talk about how absolutely drop dead gorgeous lenks is😍 gurll growing prettier each dday
Your makeup looks so good so natural! 🤩
about Spanish books!! (8:49) I would not suggest to translate and put down every single word because that is really exhausting. I’ve tried to do it with Harry Potter books and I’ve been reading this book for like a year cuz I was too lazy and I needed an hour for one page.. So if you just read, it will keep you interested in it. You don’t even need to translate words, actually. Choose what is more comfortable for you, but I can say that you will probably understand the meaning of a word, and if you see this word several times you will remember it! Also, you can underline/highlight words you don’t know and after your reading session or after finishing a chapter you can go back and translate everything. It’s still better than translating and writing the words down right after you saw them. Hope it helped ❤️
When I read books in Portuguese(I have an intermediate level) I usually read a chapter and highlight and write down what words I don't know then after I finish the chapter I go back and look them up to review the full meaning of the chapter. I try to acknowledge the words I don't know but also try to use context clues. After, I only study the vocabulary I find to be important or common. Also, I read the last book in the To All The Boys I've Loved Before series in Portuguese and the writing is very simple so that one should be quite easy or easier than the other books.
Cool that you're learning portuguese, its my native language. What's are your native language? I was trying to read books like this but at the final, I highlighted the whole page 😫 🤣🤣
There is a tool on google where you select the word and the translation already appears on time, it's very interesting and I think it may help
I am reading in Arabic as a French speaker and ig I had to write everything it'd take ages. Only take the vocab that strucks you a lot while reading
My goal is 1 daily meditation 2 work out 3 general study 4reading books 5 dance 6 writing story drama 7 learning coding 8 trying to improve focus on Spanish
I used to take down the words that are the most common in the text or the context of which are the most interesting because you really memorise words better if their contexts appeal to you
So the goal is to choose the easiest words
Cuando leo un libro en inglés, lo que hago es leerlo todo completo sin parar. Luego volverlo a leer para ver si entendí todas las ideas. Al menos la primera vez que lo leo si pongo marcas en palabras que no entiendo pero no necesariamente lo anoto porque si interrumpe la lectura (uno no siempre tiene papel y pluma a lado) creo que en español es un poco fácil ir sin buscar porque todo es dependiendo del contexto, así le hacia cuando leía algo muy sofisticado para la escuela simplemente lo ponía en contexto y entendía a que se refería el autor. Harry Potter creo que es simple y sencillo en español, también novelas juveniles esas no tienen mucho vocabulario raro. La saga de Divergente es fácil y aunque es gordo el libro si lo terminas bastante rápido. Suerte!❤️
8:57 When I try to read a book in another languages, I just keep going to read the book without searching the unknown words. (Because I get easily distracted,and I cannot understand the real points of the book) While reading, I encircle some unknown words and then after finish the book just review the them couple of times, trying to memorize. Generally I read the same book at least twice with this technique, this is really really helpful for me :))
(but this is only valid if I can understand the meaning without knowing that 'exact word'. If not of course it is better to learn the meaning :) )
Also I have a rule to start a book; try to read couple of pages and if you can fully understand the book without checking the words, keep going. If not, find another book suits for your level
Hi Anna! My recommendation about looking out for every word or not is to NOT do it unless you know that that book is very important for you (f.e. book related to your career ). Keep in mind that if a word is useful it will appear repeadtly times, but if it´s not you will no longer see it and there´s no necessity to have learned it.
Hope this helps!! sending you the best vibes uwu
teamoo
English is not my first language so when I read a book in English and there is a word I don't know, I just highlight it( I usually read on my phone or e-book), when the book is finished, i just go throught my highlights and make flashcards
My goals for this summer (~14 weeks)
- Improve English and prepare for an English exam which I'll take in September (if I'll pass it, I'll get into special program at my uni)
- Don't get fired from my summer job
- Watch more musicals (I haven't watched most of the classics, I don't know why)
- Finish my video game design course
- Finish reading level design textbook (which I bought on sale few months ago but I haven't started reading it until now)
- Finish my short novel / fanfiction
- Maybe I'll do it "writing for video games" course on edx but I don't know yet
- And also maybe I'll try to learn some songs on ukulele but I need to buy it first
yes please make italian learning vlogs!! i'm studying too with similar goals and it would be really great to see :)
Was here for ur Year goals. Ur motivation is contagious and while it doesn't last long for me, it makes me feel like I'm in the right mindset even if it's only for a bit :] So yeah thx
Im spanish and i read Harry potter in english. I didn't looked up all the words that i didn't know, i just read and understood the general idea. This book is like for kids and it is perfect to reed in another lenguage. In this book there are lots of repeated words, so i recommend looking those up(sorry if i made a mistake, my english is not very good hahahha)💘
About reading, I'm actually reading English books to improve my English -cuz it's only my fourth language- and when I read I read for fun, I read to run away, to escape from "school work", so I just look at the definition quickly and continue reading.
thank's anna for sheering your goals..... I'm from syria and I really love your positive energy My goals for this summer 2021 are:
HEALTH :
I want to become 45kg
walk every single day for hours (3kg than more )
Do a exertsaiz for more fixability
eat a green apple before each meal
HOBI:
Do three photos with a professional sitting
learn more about infographic
I really want to learn more in Arabic line ( with I love it )
dance (Eest dancing )
read 2 book ( I recommend those books for who's can read in Arabic (لأنك الله and فاتتني صلاة or صاحب الظل الطويل )
remember Romanian language
RELIGIOUS :
memorize two sora form quran (سورة يوسف and سورة البقرة )
fasting on mondays and thurdays
Keep reading and if there's a word that is constantly bothering you and you can't understand with the context, i take note of the words or highlight them (if on digital) and then i do an anki folder about that book!
I'm a portuguese speaker and I like your videos a lot, and even started to use notion because of you. it's also helping me to improve my english. Thank u so much!!
It's winter in my country right now, and we're still in quarantine so I can't go out and see my friends. So mostly of my goals are: read more books, watch more movies and study english and spanish. Nothing so incredible 🤣🤣
so glad to see you talking about summer goals!
in regard to the reading books things i personally check out the meaning of words if i encounter a word too many times and i can't make sense what it means. otherwise, just like you said, reading book can be tedious and take away the pleasure of just reading.
She is soo beautiful
Like you are the most gorgeous person in this world
9:50 When I see words I don't know, I underline them. Then I look at the meaning on the phone and move on. When I'm done reading, I choose words that might be useful to me and write them down separately. If you're new to that language, I don't think you need to go into too much detail. I hope this technique works for you 😊
you have a good technique how to separate your time during the day, love your videos
What I do when I reading in english (which is the language I learning) is continue and after finished the chapter look for the words
I love the way that you said how summer goals should be fun and does not have to be academic.
Watching you since 35k can't believe your channel has growni remmember watching your study videos and they were so motivating
Same sis, I look up the meaning n I keep going, my mind nudges me to take down the words but it divides my attention and I loose interest...so...
And also, gosh u r pretty!!!
About learning language with books, I like to take note of the words that I don’t know in a notebook (just the world whit out the meaning because I can look again later to put on flash cards or what ever the way I’m studying), but I do this just when I am in the mood to do it, mostly I just read whit out worrying myself because I read more for fun
Omggggh , i saw her first time in 2018 or 19 study vlogs ... Then i lost touch with her ... And after these much time i found her today , omg she became so mature plus more pretty ...

I am working most of the summer but now I have moved to South Korea my goal is to try and have more conversations in Korean and visit more place outside the city. I would definitely look at the definition but if I feel that it isn’t a word I would use in conversation I don’t write it down.
Personally what I do whenever I’m reading Harry Potter in French is that I highlight some of the words that I don’t know and I will come back to them when I finish the book.
te veo radiante en este video, no sé por que, pero es como un brillo diferente. amor eterno a estos videos
I love your Goals, really something to be inspired of :)
My goals are
- finishing five master’s application for the UK
- read three books (Europe’s crisis of legitimacy, the clash of civilisations and the remaking of the world order, how the right lost its mind - yeah, I’m a political science student 😂)
- if I stay here (Zurich) for my master, finding a nice shared flat or preferably an apartment, as well as a nice part time job complementing my studies
- go to London before I have to get a visa
- finish up a big (writing-heavy) present for a good friend
- get a nice summer dress, sandals and sunglasses on my trip with a friend
- learning R studio and python (on a decent level) for my master
- trying to go for the Google data analytics professional certificate
- Eat good food (in restaurants)
- decrease alcohol consumption
- get into my pre-COVID fitness cycle of going to the gym every 2nd day
- practice my voice, in order to potentially sing at the opera again
And talk more French and Italian (since I’m going there during my summer trip I’ll have to do it anyway😅)
I am always just looking up the meaning and thats it, usually the words tend to repeat in the book and you will just pick them as you go on 🙈 good luck! 😇
guess I’m 1year late to the party but when I read foreign books I try to guess the meaning of the words I don’t know through context, but I always try to look it up, after a little guessing-game, though I never write because I know I’ll never look at it again. It all ultimately builds up to a stronger knowledge of the language when you recognise it in other places and start realising all the different ways it can be used in a sentence. I like that slow process, it thrills me every time I get that eureka! moment
answering your question about reading in different languages - my first language is Polish and this year I've decided to not read books in Polish anymore because that's too easy lol
when I read an English book, I don't write down any words and I don't even search up the meanings if I don't really need to (I try to understand by context), however with Spanish I do search up the meanings and I put them on flashcards right away so I can study them easily afterwards (my Spanish is worse than my English so that's why), hope I helped at least a bit 💗
about the duolingo tree: it’s super easy. After around 20 hours i’ve reached unit 3 and i’m in the middle of it, with all the categories up to level 4 and some mastered. It’s super easy and super fun! I’m currently looking for a platform like lingoda to do italian
Yess you're right, when I was learning English with Duolingo it have been soo easy and I don't saw a results for my studying 🙃 for that reason I'm learning English with other methods (sorry if I did mistakes I'm trying to write without translating)
@@Annie-kf6qi duolingo tends to teach specific things you woul never use in day to day convo. currently im doing the 500, 1000 and 2000 most common verbs and nouns as well.
as a native spanish speaker, when I started to read novels in english I tried writing down every word I didn't know, but that just made me dread reading because it would only allow me to read in specific situations where I had the mindset, time, pen with me, etc to be able to do that, so nowadays I just read and try to understand words through the context and move on. I feel that makes it a more enjoyable experience for me and allows me to read more, and therefore, learn more, because even when I wrote down the words, I just never looked at them anymore so there was no point in that really hahahahahah
i've only started reading english books (my first language is dutch) when i knew i'd understand most of it and i've been learning english for a long time now so in every book theres like a maximum of 10 words i dont understand and yes i do look them up because i feel like i'd get lost if i don't but like if you dont know the language like almost completely like for example my french teacher (i suck at french) always tells me to only look it up if i really can't make anything from it and if you can't understand the rest of the sentence otherwise just keep reading and i think she's right.
also if its not a book from the library you can always take notes in the book and kinda explain it to yourself but yes this will be timeconsuming so i dont recommend it if your goal is to read a lot of books in a certain amount of time just do it if you're reading for fun or to actually learn it.
It's very refreshing to see these kind of videos, as school is finally over for almost everyone as well as uni, it's the perfect time for relaxation and summer goals. Watching the video about your goals really inspires me to do something with my summer although I got my plate full with IELTS and SAT, I'm still gonna try to jam some extra goals, you probably hear this a lot, but I do wanna say that your videos and how you express yourself in them and not to mention how you've matured over the years really shows how crazy fast time is flying and in order to succeed in life you don't have to shy away from working, so thanks Anna for being there for all of us and doing what you do in general 🤗❤️
Edit: I would personally look up the word and then continue reading, cause if you constantly stop to write down the word that makes reading as you said tedious, makes it more of a chore rather than an enjoyment. It's even better if you're able to try to find the meaning of the word in context. In other words try to understand the meaning of the word by looking at the sentence instead of looking up the meaning. From personal experience, that helps a lot to reinforce your language learning skills. But if you can't find the meaning of the word then juts look it up in Google. Hope that helped 😃
Hi I'm language learner too! I always just keep reading, but before, i read in translated version(in my first language) and read English after. It literally helps me a lot
I love when Anna spoke in spanish 🤩🤩 The same thing happens to me when I try to read books in English, I underline at least 10 words per page😂
When u read a book or anything ..u don't have to translate every single word that u don't understand bcz my teacher said that's not professional and u may lose focusing ! U're my inspiration ✨✨love u ❤️
When I read a book in english what I ussually do is just trying to understand the word I don't know trough context,and if I don't understand it like that I mark it with a post-it and search for it later in wordreference.And if there's a word that keeps popping out in the book but I still don't remember the meaning(especially in books like Dorian Gray , Pride and Prejucide,etc.) I write it down in my notebook ,in a little "dictionary part" that I have.Hope it's helpful haha.
yes please! 'learning italian' vlogs sound great! im going to work on my italian this summer too:) this way we can stay motivated
When reading a book in another language I never take down vocab when reading, I usually try to figure out the meaning of the word by the context and if i can’t keep up with the story because of that specific word, theeen i look for the meaning. That’s what works for me :3 hope it helps
my goals:
- learn more russian (im 1/4 Belarusian and my russian sucks right now)
- drink more water
- less sugar intake and more from natural sweet sources (like fruits)
♥️♥️♥️
Actually I'm from Ukraine and I also study English by books. I don't note all words which I don't know, but if you see the same word in second or third time, it's better to remember it and write the translation, because you could see it later. And of course, it's just up to you and depends on your goal: you just want to enjoy a book or it's more about learning new words 💫
bruhhhhh sheeeee freakin' glowin', im lovingg itt 🥺❤❤
Reading was a problem with me too..like u said anna: i don't have the reading speed capacity... it's because this used to happen with me too but then I started reading a lot and gradually my speed became fast...so your not the only one...love u...stay blessed...
YEEAAAHHH
