That is true. I have a question. What type of book are you reading?

I have found that re-reading a book that I have already read in English first helps.

I am an English speaker and the language I am learning is Spanish.

I find this helps you to understand what is going on and hence infer the meaning of the word rather than having to learn completely unrelated vocabulary.

The book I did this for was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Which I had read about five years ago.

In my class, we use a similar tool  called a predictable book.

Hi kochin, thanks so much for your suggestion.

 My mistake was that I did not know anything about the book that I bought!!!, only I bought it because is small (manually for bring it for everywhere) but  tomorrow I'm going to try to buy a book that I have already read.

The other thing is that I am trying to buy or download tv series in english to practice my listening, I'm trying to do many things for learn english because on my job is very important, I must to talk english for december!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
