Let's talk English for the resumption of this blog. Because actually, I live in England, I like this country and I even think I want to live here. So I try to build my life in London. And this life will be definitely in English!I still have to improve my English. I have started something I wanted to start for a long time: reading a book. I chose this one, Panic from Jeff Abbott. A thriller which seems to be easy to read. I already found loads of new words I've never seen before. I will try to learn some of them, will see... At least I understand the overall story, at the moment. I may give you my point of view about this work when I finish it. It might not be soon as I only read the evening before sleeping. And reading makes me sleeping very quickly. So at the pace of 1 or 2 page per day...

good Vince, reading, in English, its really good for our vocabuary
j'ai rien compris!!!!!!!!
Pourtant, j'essaye!!!! ;) biz
Yes Cora, but I am still not sure about the method of reading to use:
1) Reading without noticing really the word I don't know because I understand the overall story,
2) Reading with a dictionary to get the perfect translations and then, all the subtleties of the story as well
3) Reading as in 1 but with underlining the words I don't know to come back on them later and maybe learn them by heart. But not easy to do that in the tube for example.
How do you manage that?
Woohoo Stoof, content de te voir sur ce blog! Féliciations de bien vouloir essayer déja. Quelques articles devraient etre en français (euh pas sur!)
Je suis sur que tu peux comprendre. Utilise un dico! Ca peut te faire que du bien ;-) En plus mon anglais n'est pas un anglais compliqué car je ne suis pas bilingue et donc les formes que j'utilise devraient etre facilement traduisibles pour toi avec un dico! Sinon, l'autre option c'est aussi de s'acheter "L'anglais pour les nuls!"
héhé
A+, biz
Hey Vince I was looking your blog and I saw this article.
How is this book going? Finished.
What did you do finally? Dictionary? Overall story.
For me it's overall story, as I read mostly in the tube or during my breaks, I can't really carry a dictionary with me.
I do check some words some time though ;)
Hey!
Eventually I chose to write the overall story and actually, the more I go on the book the less I find words I do not know or do not understand. And I think it's better because it makes you think more about what you read, the words, your English then!
This book has been very long to get into the interest. Now I'm completely in but I just read before sleeping and after 2 pages I fall asleep! lol. So I'm only at the half. But I keep going!!
