The more you read, the better you read.

Hi there, Steve Kaufmann here, and today I want to talk about how to improve reading comprehension.

Uh, it's a subject, a question that I get asked quite often, uh, but first, if you enjoy these videos, please subscribe.

If you follow me on a podcast service, please leave a comment.

Reading comprehension is crucial.

Now, a lot of people actually feel that they have good reading comprehension, but they have trouble speaking.

However, there are also a lot of people who don't have great reading comprehension, who read slowly, and this of course is an obstacle to improving in the language, even in our own native language.

The faster we can read, the more quickly we understand what we're reading, the faster we can acquire information through reading and that ability to read, the speed with which we read, that sort of functional literacy, that that, uh, those skills they build on themselves.

It's, it's a bit like the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

If you have uh, better reading skills, you read faster.

As you read faster, you learn more, you get better at reading and just get better and better and better.

So how do we, for people who have trouble reading in the language they're learning, is there a way to break that, um, kind of vicious circle?

Well, first thing is to read, as I just indicated, to be a good reader, to improve your comp...

reading comprehension, you have to read a lot.

Okay? But let's say you have trouble reading.

It could be for any number of reasons.

First of all, if you're reading in a foreign language, you're not used to reading in that language.

You may not be used to reading in the, um, the script, you know, but there again, the only solution is to do more of it.

You just have to do more of it.

But the other things that I find helpful are listening.

Okay. Listening combined with reading is very powerful.

I find that if I read something, you know, without, like, without preparation, I have more difficulty reading it.

If I can listen to it first, I have an idea of what's there.

I have some momentum.

Momentum even in so far as the intonation is concerned.

Then I do better when I go to read.

Also, in languages where I have trouble reading, like Arabic and Persian, I use LingQ and I go in sentence mode so that I might go through the lesson once in sentence mode and then again in in lesson mode.

But it, it just helps me to focus in on one sentence at a time.

And then of course, in order to be able to have good reading comprehension, you need a large vocabulary because every time you come across a word that you don't know, it's, it disturbs you.

You're, you've got a certain flow and you've got meaning.

And ideally, you want the meaning to flow into your brain without you having to translate in your own lang...

into your own language.

And every time you hit a word you don't know, it slows you down.

You gotta look up the word you've lost that, uh, momentum.

So building up vocabulary is extremely important, but in a way it sort of gets back to the same thing.

In other words, the more you read, the better you read.

The more you read, the more words you acquire.

The more words you acquire, the better you read.

So it's all a virtuous.

You have to continuously sort of put yourself in front of reading material, and also I would suggest you vary the difficulty level between challenging material, which might have a lot of new words and easy material that has very little in the way of new words.

I have found that since my goal is to become a fluent reader in whatever language I'm learning, but at the same time to acquire more words, I have found that 15% unknown words as we count them at LingQ is kind of a sweet spot.

I'm acquiring enough new words.

I'm not just reading material that has all known words.

However, if that sort of unknown words total is 30%, 25%, it's too difficult.

It slows me down.

I don't develop any genuine fluency in, uh, in the language.

So to improve your reading comprehension, read more, increase your vocabulary.

Use audio use tools like, you know, the sentence view at LingQ.

Immerse yourself more in the language.

If there are structures that give you trouble, like some people complain that, you know, in German you've got the separated verbs, uh, you know, long sentences with a verb comes at the end.

Or people reading in Japanese that find that because that those languages are structured little diff...

differently, it's difficult to read.

True. But that's all the more reason why you have to read more.

And that's all the more reason why you have to listen more, because very often when you hear those sentences spoken by the native speaker with a normal cadence, the normal intonation, the normal rhythm, it's easier to understand because the voice of the narrator of the speaker, putting the emphasis in the right place makes those sentences easier to understand.

When you don't have the benefit of that audio and you're just reading very often you, you're pushing uphill here, you don't have that momentum that, that, that sense of, of, of what the meaning is, which the narrator will often impart.

So I definitely recommend, particularly in languages where you find it difficult to read, because the structure is so different that you use audio.

By the same token, there are people who say, I can read, I have no trouble reading but I don't understand what I hear.

So I think if those people would also put more emphasis on listening, like I, I had a good friend who, who enjoyed reading French literature but couldn't understand an audio book.

And I said, you should listen to an audio book that you're reading so that you get the two working together to make you a better reader.

Not only better able to understand spoken, the spoken language, this happened to be French, but also that you become a better reader.

So those are some of the things...

I had made some notes, but I can't remember uh, what I had written down here.

But, uh, you know, it all comes down to the same, uh, in other words, to become good at a language, and of course, the good listening comprehension leads to good reading comprehension.

Good reading comprehension means you have a large vocabulary, with that, you're also going to be able to speak better, use words better.

It's all tied, it's all interconnected.

So, uh, I hope that's, And, uh, to improve your reading comprehension.

Read more and use audio to help you get that momentum going to improve your reading.

Thank you for listening.

Bye for now.

背景與背景

在提升英語閱讀理解能力的過程中，瞭解背景和語境是非常重要的。Steve Kaufmann在這段影片中探討了如何提高閱讀理解能力。他指出，很多人在閱讀上有自信，但在口語交流上卻遇到了障礙。此外，快速的閱讀能力不僅有助於獲取新資訊，也能促進語言能力的整體提升。通過多讀書籍和文章，讀者能夠不斷增強自己的詞彙量和理解能力，因此，改善閱讀理解的第一步就是增加閱讀量。

日常溝通中的五個關鍵短語

提高閱讀理解: 這是學習語言過程中不可或缺的部分。
快速閱讀: 加快閱讀速度可以幫助更有效地獲取資訊。
詞彙量的積累: 瞭解更多單詞，有利於提升理解力。
傾聽與閱讀結合: 聽和讀相結合可以幫助理解文本的語調和背景。
沉浸在語言環境中: 大量接觸目標語言是提高語言能力的有效途徑。

逐步模仿指南

對於希望通過模仿來提高英語口語能力的學習者，以下是一些具體步驟，幫助練習者應對這段影片的難度:

先傾聽: 在開始閱讀前，首先認真傾聽影片中的內容，瞭解句子的語調和重音。
逐句閱讀: 使用句子模式來仔細閱讀文本，這樣可以幫助集中注意力於每一句。
記錄不認識的單詞: 在閱讀過程中，記下所有不認識的單詞，並儘量通過上下文理解意味著什麼，以提高詞彙量。
反覆練習: 多次回顧相關內容，不時嘗試進行重複模仿（shadowspeak），幫助加深理解和記憶。
定期複習: 定期回顧並重復前面的練習，以 cement 那些新學的單詞和短語。

通過這些步驟，學習者能有效提升自己的閱讀理解與口語能力，從而在雅思口語練習中脫穎而出，達到更佳的表達效果。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	people who don · people who have · people who say
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	you've lost · have found

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
