If you want to learn English more quickly, lots of reading is important. When you read in English, you can improve your vocabulary, grammar, and writing at the same time.

When you read, try to figure out the meaning of a new word from the words around it. Even if you are not always correct, it is good to practise thinking about what a new word might mean. You may need to learn the meaning of a word or phrase. The more words you understand, the better you will be able to read. A dictionary - hard copy or online version - can help you find the meanings of words which are new to you. You should keep a list of new words, their definitions, and a sentence for each word which shows how to properly use it. You can keep this vocabulary list in a notebook you always have with you. This helps you to revise what you have learnt wherever you are.
