the best way to increase your knowledge of english words seems to be reading an english book I live in Italy and as I can't improve my English knowledge as well as if I were living in England (besides everyday I mostly speak in Italian and don't practise the language I want to learn), what I thought to do is buying some of my favourite fantasy books written in their mother language (that is English). By this way I should increase the number of English words I already know and, watching a movie in English, I could try to follow and understand a conversation between the characters better. Probably I could also get my speaking and writing faster than how it actually is. Now I know well I won't get such great results as if I were living in England between English people, but surely I could get to high levels, what do you all think?

the best way to increase your knowledge of english words seems to be reading an english book

I live in Italy and, (as) I can't improve my English knowledge as well as if I were living in England. Besides,  everyday I mostly speak in Italian and don't practise the language I want to learn. So, what I thought I would (to) do is buy (buying) some of my favourite fantasy books written in their mother language, that is English. In (By) this way, I should increase the number of English words I already know and, by also watching movies (a movie) in English, I could try to follow and understand a conversation between the characters better. Probably, I could also improve the speed at which I currently speak and write (get my speaking and writing faster than how it actually is). Now I know well enough that I won't get such great results as if I were living in England and interacting with (between) English people, but surely I could get to a higher level (high levels). What do you all think?

 

Hi Giovanni. Seems a very good idea. With regard to your article, your first sentence runs to four lines and has information in brackets which I would suggest is not necessary. So, I have split it into three sentences. Perhaps a good idea would be to read a book you like and then watch a film adapted from the same book so you first read the words and then hear them spoken as well. May be a good idea. Anyway, good luck with your studying.

the best way to increase your knowledge of english words seems to be reading an english book

I live in Italy and as I can't improve my English knowledge as well as when I were living in England. Besides, everyday I mostly speak Italian and don't practise the language I want to learn. What I thought to do is buying some of my favourite fantasy books written in English ( simple = less confusing ). By doing this, I should be able to increase the number of English words I know and moreover, to watch a movie in English. I could try to follow and understand a conversation between the characters better. I could also get my speaking improved and write faster than how it actually/currently is. Now I know I can't get such great results as when I was living in England between English people, but I know for sure that I could get to a higher level, what do you think?

 

P/S: Sorry if there are any mistakes, this is among my first notes.
