Pick up an Agatha Christie book, scan the BBC website or read an English newspaper every now and then…

Reading English texts on a regular basis will allow you to make quick progress. And you will notice that the following 5 tips will even improve this process!

1. Read at a level slightly lower than what you understand. You should not have to look up a lot of words. I’s okay to look up a few words, though.
2. Make reading a ritual. Choose a time and place to read every day or week
3. Relate what you read to your own life. How does the reading apply to you?
4. Visualise what you are reading.
5. Listen and read. Find podcasts or videos that have transcripts and read along silently.
