Hey guys, welcome to my channel.
2
Today I'm gonna give you some tips and tricks that help me read faster.
3
And it doesn't matter whether English is your first language,
4
second or third, I'm gonna give you very practical tips that will help you read in any language.
5
And I started reading 45 books a month.
6
Sometimes I go beyond that number and I know that there are people who read like 10 books a month.
7
There are so many amazing books coming out.
8
I read books on marketing, management health and you don't want to miss that information
9
so the thing you can do right now is improve your reading speed
10
and i'm going to teach you how so today i'm going to teach you to read
11
faster the first step you have to take in the first step
12
that i've taken is actually separating formats what i mean by
13
that there are three general formats of books
14
that we have there are hard copies right there that's a hard copy there's an audiobook
15
and there's an electronic book so for audiobooks i try to stick to fiction
16
because i don't really write things down when i'm listening to stories
17
and i can actually do another thing
18
while listening to an audiobook like i can clean my room
19
i can do my makeup i can do my nails i can cook that's multitasking
20
because i'm just listening to a story I'm not necessarily writing a to -do list like
21
because when I'm reading practical books like books on marketing books on management I really need to read
22
because I would highlight some paragraphs I would send something
23
that comes to my mind to my husband
24
or to my team like hey we need to do this this
25
and that so I would say audiobooks for stories audio stories
26
so can be more relaxed then electronic books for learning so you can highlight things highlighter
27
and okay hard copy books i don't really do them anymore
28
because uh i like to declutter my space i don't like
29
when extra things appear in my room
30
but i would use hard copy books for poolside
31
or like for relaxing it's just another experience because
32
if you highlight things in those books you just sometimes lose
33
that information so really i would recommend sticking to these two formats
34
hard copy now let's go to reading faster on average a person would read 150 to 200 words per minute
35
and this is very very very slow reading slow
36
this can actually be compared to the pace of speaking you can read
37
so much faster you can go above 300 words per minute
38
and this is considered faster reading
39
there's by the way test available to check your reading speed I will leave a link below
40
so if you're not sure where you are at
41
and you probably not take that test and see where you are
42
but people can go to as fast as 600 words a minute 700 words a minute
43
and yes that's doable I can read over 3 ,000 words a minute why does this happen
44
because most of us think that reading is actually speaking in your head
45
so a lot of people actually say words
46
that they're reading in their heads
47
and this slows them down completely
48
you need to start on working on visual reading instead of saying words in your head
49
so get rid of this sub vocalization i'm writing this term down just for you to make sure
50
that you understand me completely
51
so vocalization ways to get rid of it count words you can count
52
and by the way i'm gonna do this we don't need
53
this at all what do i mean by counting words in your head
54
so you're reading something and in your head you go like this was word number one number two, number three.
55
So you are trying to distract your brain with something else.
56
So instead of your brain trying to pronounce everything that you're reading, you're actually telling your brain,
57
hey, do the word count and I will just read.
58
Because two things at a time is, I think, the maximum brain can do.
59
You stop saying things in your head and you actually start to do the visual reading,
60
like getting the meaning of the words just by seeing them.
61
You should be able to see the words Mr. 3000.
62
Another thing you can do is use a rhythm.
63
Get in rhythm.
64
And what I mean by that, for example, you wanna read at this space?
65
A method that you use for reading should depend on your goals, education, relaxing, learning new words.
66
And if I speed myself up, a method you're gonna read for should depend on your goals, relaxing, reading, learning your words.
67
This is what you can do.
68
So just create a rhythm for yourself and follow it.
69
Again, helps a lot to speed up your reading.
70
Here we go guys, find the rhythm.
71
The third thing you can do to get rid of self -vocalization is listen to music.
72
Instrumental classical music is the best because again it has the pace and it acts as distraction for your brain.
73
Nice distraction.
74
Guide yourself by guiding yourself while reading I actually mean using your hand
75
or a pen to go through whatever you have to read.
76
Self -acvalization, count words, use a rhythm, listen to music, guide yourself.
77
The faster you move the faster your brain starts to read.
78
So just again create a pace for yourself that's a little above your comfort zone that makes you read a little faster.
79
Just guide yourself with your hand.
80
That's why I'm gonna read these lines I wrote myself with my own two hands.
81
Please start practicing these techniques the next time you're going to be reading.
82
Find the one that's comfortable for you.
83
Find the one that makes you read faster.
84
If these are not enough, there are also several things you could do.
85
One of them is go to Skillshare.
86
There is an amazing course called Read Better and Faster in just seven days.
87
And because Skillshare is sponsoring this video, you can get free access to that platform by clicking a link below
88
and you're going to get two months access for free.
89
By the way, there is another course that I would recommend taking on Skillshare.
90
It's called Productivity Masterclass, Creating a Custom System that Works.
91
Because apart from reading faster, you would actually need to find time for being productive and reading more books.
92
And when you start reading more books, you start getting more information.
93
It's like communicating with more and more people.
94
So I would really advise you to find time for reading different books
95
and this masterclass by thomas frank is going to actually help you find
96
that time and skillshare in general is an amazing place to find online classes
97
and there are thousands of other classes covering dozens of creating
98
and entrepreneurial skills premium membership gives you unlimited access
99
so you can join the classes and communities
100
that are just right for you and if you think of affordability don't forget
101
that you're getting two months for free using my link below and also
102
if later on you decide to get an annual membership
103
you're gonna end up paying ten dollars a month for full access to all of the classes
104
and if we compare it to like private tutoring
105
or even taking an online class at a university you are saving a lot of money
106
so again two courses that i recommend there first is this reading faster course
107
and the second one is the productivity class now let's go back to tips
108
that work for me and I mentioned productivity class
109
and before reading any book I want to create a set of tasks for myself to stay productive
110
while reading this book because it's very easy and comment down below
111
if you have this problem it's very easy to buy a lot of books
112
and you're like oh I'm gonna read this this and this
113
and then you start reading every book and you never finish
114
and you never even get to the middle of the book
115
this is why whenever I start a new book I write down my goal
116
or I just you know think about it like my goal after reading
117
this management book is to create an instruction for my new
118
personal assistant on how to work with my email for example
119
so it'd be a very specific goal not just learn new things about marketing no actually
120
you have to be very specific and your goals have to be actionable
121
which means that you can act upon them right after reading the book.
122
The second skills.
123
What skills am I trying to learn after reading this book?
124
Again if it's a management book I'm trying to learn how to write the right instructions.
125
I'm trying to learn how to create a resume
126
or I'm trying to learn how to create a job posting so that I find the right people.
127
Time for this book.
128
Now this is super important.
129
Again, what happens?
130
You start reading a book and then in a year you realize you've only read 10 pages.
131
So I tell myself, okay, we need to finish by November.
132
That's it.
133
And in order to be more specific about this, you can set up the number of pages that you read per day.
134
For example, you tell yourself, okay, every day I read 20 pages of this book.
135
In order to make yourself more accountable for what you're doing
136
you can post on your social media like hey
137
I love to share my plans for the day on my Instagram by the way
138
if you're not yet subscribed it's Lingomarina I love to share my plans
139
because I feel responsible for what I'm actually sharing I'd be like oh I told my followers
140
that I'm gonna read 20 pages of this book today
141
and I haven't so I just need to go back to this
142
and really accomplish it because I promised thousands of people or even if you promise to like 60 of your followers, there's already some accountability.
143
So try that then I promise I'm reading this book so I gotta go.
144
Bye!
145
And it's okay by the way to read several books at a time.
146
Have you ever read four books at a time?
147
So it's not like you have to read just one book at a time and start another one once you finish.
148
Totally okay.
149
The only thing that again really helps me is selecting the books on the similar topic.
150
So if I'm reading a management book like I don't know how to manage a company,
151
Another book that I will be reading is like a story of a company that's grown very fast
152
and I can listen to an audiobook
153
because I don't have to write things down
154
but I would just you know listen how they apply different methods
155
so they are similar but they're different genres so that helps a lot.
156
You're really mixing genres.
157
Okay so once you've become all productive
158
and you set your goals some more tips number five don't read word by word you don't actually need
159
that your brain is totally fine with understanding just a few words from a sentence
160
and figuring out the meaning from them this is particularly important for anyone who's trying to read in English
161
and for whom English is not their first language
162
because sometimes we try to translate every single word
163
and this is totally wrong you don't have to do
164
that you only need to translate words
165
that affect the meaning in general what i translate as well is
166
that if there is a word
167
that i've seen for 10 times in this book already
168
and i still don't know what it means i would translate it just to be sure
169
that i'm using this word in my own speech as well since native speakers are using
170
that word so much just a fun
171
One fact for you, if you're reading like a scientific book,
172
you can decrease the number of words by 2 .5 times without losing its meaning.
173
If you're reading a fiction book, you can decrease the number of words by three or four times without losing its meaning,
174
which means that you can skip words to still get what the author wanted to tell you.
175
Another thing that might help psychologically, sometimes you think that
176
if you read your book back to back
177
you're going to understand its meaning in reality you can read the book five
178
or six times and still not get its meaning
179
so it's not about how many words you read
180
it's about how concentrated you are it's about how familiar you are with the topic
181
because again you can decrease the number of words in a book without losing its meaning
182
i think he could have said what he has to say with a lot less.
183
Six, I just mentioned it, focus.
184
When reading like an electronic book or a hard copy book, it's actually really important to focus.
185
How do you know if you're focused enough?
186
When you are reading something and your brain is still analyzing the previous paragraph, that tells you that you're not focused enough.
187
That tells you that you're distracted, that your brain still hasn't digested information.
188
It has just received and it's somewhere else.
189
So at this point of time
190
i would ask you to stop reading maybe get some tea uh get more comfortable wherever you are
191
because it's very important to feel comfortable while reading you know
192
if you don't have to think about changing your position
193
or drinking or whatever you tend to stay more focused
194
and your speed naturally increases
195
and by the way uh reading is a great great way to get rid of your stress just make
196
this process enjoyable just relax and help your brain dig deeper into the content of the book
197
another tip make a movie in your head
198
I do this all the time make a movie in your
199
head means create visual images of whatever is going on in
200
the book create visual image of everyone who's in the book of main characters department of things
201
they're doing for the company
202
so whatever you're reading about visual images help a lot especially for people like me who love videos
203
i love videos and if you're watching youtube i guess you love videos too
204
and visualization is a great tool to speed up your reading process
205
because when you read the character's name you already have all those visual images in your head
206
and it helps you digest information faster.
207
Creative visualization.
208
Next thing, read reviews beforehand.
209
Those could be reviews or like a very short version of a book
210
because this way you're gonna know what you're looking for.
211
You're gonna know what people loved about this book.
212
You're gonna know what to look for in this book because maybe they would tell you like,
213
for example, you're looking for a perfect resume or whatever and in reviews you'll be like,
214
oh, this guy is sharing the perfect resume samples in chapter four and five and it was so useful
215
and you know exactly that
216
when you're going to read this book you're going to be extra careful with the chapter four
217
and five because this is what you're looking for
218
so go to different resources read those reviews it's going to help structure your brain
219
and prepare it for all the upcoming information
220
that was it from me guys for today uh let's just conclude uh i wanted to highlight something
221
so no matter what speed you're at I want you to get to the speed of 800 words per minute
222
this is the best speed for reading five to six books a month another thing
223
that I wanted to highlight once again use your pen to guide
224
you this is one of the most practical skills
225
that worked for me like guiding yourself through reading the last
226
but not the least something to pay attention to pay attention to where your eyes are looking at
227
when you're reading so ideally they have to be focused on the middle of the page
228
so don't go from the first word to the last word
229
of the paragraph mostly focus on what's in the middle area of the page this way you're just making sure
230
that you're not reading every single word that you're just scanning
231
and digesting the most important words to understand the meaning again
232
this might sound very complicated I want you to start practicing
233
I want you to write things down in your own exercise books
234
or whatever so you have them and I want you to take those classes
235
that I mentioned the productivity
236
and the reading class you can the links are below two months for free with the Skillshare just

Chi parla usa 97 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come you're, I'm, don't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: fiction /ˈfɪkʃən/, genre /ˈ(d)ʒɑnɹə/, instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/, distraction /dɪsˈtɹæk.ʃən/, accomplish /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ/

I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:

- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, highlight /ˈhaɪˌlaɪt/, translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/, format /ˈfɔːɹ.mæt/, pace /peɪs/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/, practical /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/, format /ˈfɔːɹ.mæt/, paragraph /ˈpæɹəɡɹæf/
Come esercitarsi con questo video

- Inizia a velocità 0,75×, fai shadowing frase per frase e torna alla velocità normale quando diventa facile.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come highlight, rhythm, skill.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
