My difficulties when I read an English book Hi to all. I'm Ricky and this is my first notebook entry. I'm learning english. I'm focused in a group of issues that I think are very important to imprive my learning. One of them is to red english books. I'm a computing engineer and I've read a lot of technical books in English, of course. I know, in a advanced way, this vocabulary, but it's hard to me when I read the common language use. Right now, I'm reading "Hackers and Painters" and my perfectionism doesn't let me to keep on reading, because I'd like to understand all of the words. What's going on with this?. For me, this becomes a problem. I don't advance with the reading and I make myself thinkings like: "I don't know if this is the right way to improve my english". As far as I know, i'm new in iTalki, these notebook entries are used for helping me with corrections and comments. So, here I am. I wait for your corrections and comments for my little problem. Thank you in advance to all. Hugs, Ricky.

My difficulties when I read   Difficulties I have reading an English book

Hi to all.

I'm Ricky and this is my first notebook entry.

I'm learning english. I'm focusing on a number  in a group of issues, which I think are very important to imprive for improving my English learning.

One of them  the issue is to red  reading English books. I'm a computing engineer and I've read a lot of technical books in English. Of course. I know, in an advanced way, many of the technical terms and vocabularies, but it's hard to me when I read the common language us certain articles or books written in everyday English.

Right now, I'm now reading an English book , Hackers and Painters. and, being a perfectionist, my perfectionism doesn't allow me to keep on reading it, because I'd like to understand all of the words. What's going on with this?. each and every word  therein. What should I do about this?

For me, this becomes a problem. As I said,  I don't advance cannot continue with the reading. and I am asking myself  "I don't know if this is  were the right way to improve my English".

As far as I know,  I'm new in iTalki. As far as I know, these notebook entries are  helping me with are corrections and comments meant to be corrected and commented by others, thereby helping me to improve my English. Here I am. I wait for your corrections and comments for my little problem.

Thank you in advance to all.

Hugs,
Best Regards
Ricky.

My difficulty is when I read an English book

Hi to all.

I'm Ricky and this is my first notebook entry.

I'm a English Learner. I'm focused in a group of issues that it`s important to imprive my English learning.

Firstly reading. I'm a computing engineer and I've read a lot of technical books in English, of course. I know, in an advanced way, this vocabulary, but it's hard to me when I read the common language use.

Right now, I'm reading "Hackers and Painters" and my perfectionism doesn't let me to keep on reading, because I'd like to understand all of the words. What's going on with these?.
For me, this becomes a problem. I don't advance with the reading and I make myself thinkings like: "I don't know if this is the right way to improve my english".

Comment: Reading an English Book, it is no use to know each word, just the whole meaning of paragraph, sometimes, one word is not this meaning in this paragraph

Thank you Agua Fría. I like your advice because if you have passed for that stage (being Spanish), and you say me, that understand the context works, I'll do it and I'll tell you. Thank you, again.

Hi Ricky; I can understand you pretty well because I had the same problem you explain. I am from Spain too and I remember when I was younger I used to spend a lot of time looking up all words in the dictionary. But it does not work. You must try to understand a book without knowing all words in it. I do that now and it really works. Change your mind. You must try not to translate. Just understand the ideas. Good luck. Sorry about my mistakes, I am learning too.
