well first of all. i seem to have a lot of problems with coming up with sentences or forming sentences in general. for example when i’m talking to americans or whatever i usually don’t really know what to say. but i fully understand them!! and when i’m about to say something. it’s almost as if i didn’t know any words… like. i don’t know any other english words other than the basic stuff. how can i improve?? please help me. thank you
I recommend reading with a Kindle or other e-reader so you can look up unknown words as quickly as possible.
On the kindle paperwhite, pressing your finger for a couple seconds will pull up the dictionary entry for that word. Sometimes instead of the dictionary it shows the wikipedia article entry if it’s a proper noun.
I read in Spanish on my kindle paperwhite because it’s about 20-50 times faster to look up a word on the screen than it is to switch to a physical dictionary.
