If you are a beginner, I think you should start with books which were written for young people. The language is usually adjusted to a beginner's reading level.
Another way to help you understand is to read a story that you already know in Russian, or that you've seen in a movie.
Here are some suggestions:
For very beginners:
The Lion and the Mouse: A Fable by Aesop (or any of Aesop's fabels)
Baba Yaga: A Russian Folktale
Firebird (another Russian folktale)
If those are too easy, try:
The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis (there's been movies of it)
Hoot, by Carl Hiaasen (there's a movie)
Matilda, by Roald Dahl (there's a movie)
I dont think so. it is more useful to pay attention on words u know to understand the whole sense ot what u read
THX Diane, I hope your advices will definitely help me
how do u think. should i concentrate on words unknow for me?
