I can't read Really, I can't read even in my first language. I have to read a sentence couple or three times to understand what it means. It's sad, because the reading is an important step in studying language. How do I read in English? I know entire word, I know its place, I see the structure of the sentence. But there are homonyms and homophones. It is difficult to read and understand the similar words. #moreфон2018

I can't read

Really, (or is it true) I can't read even in my first language. I have to read a sentence a couple of times or even three times before to understand what it means. It's sad because the reading is an important step when studying a language.

This is good. Articles often seem tricky in English for non native speakers. Other than those, this piece is all good. English has unpredictable spelling, and huge stocks of words with overlapping or multiple meanings. Context is often the only way to make sense of things ;  what does it seem that the writer is trying to express? Tto get to be a programmer you obviously must be smart and have a strong functional grasp of Russian :)

Hi, a technique that has helped me to read better is it to the first scan through the text quickly (because I read one that the brain gets bored if you read very slow, the key is to activate the brain), then read for specific information and finally make a summary of the text. I hope this helps you. Try first to do it in your own language, then in English.Good luck!

I would advise reading a text slowly to be more accurate and memorize the new vocabulary. Moreover what you can do is start taking notes on your paper when you find two similar words like homonyms and homophones, you can use an address book (A/Z).
