How to learn English by reading books

Many of us love to read, and many would like to improve my English. This is a story about how to combine business with pleasure by reading books in English or English-language sites using the free service WordMemo.ru. Service is built on the simple idea that regular reading, especially reading aloud, significantly accelerates the development of language.

First, the book gives a "sense of language," how language structures and grammar work in practice. Second, when a new word appears in the text, they are much easier to remember and to learn than repeating individually, writing on a card or in a notebook. Note that reading aloud to accelerate language acquisition is twice as speech, hearing and language centers of the brain are closely linked.

So, how to use the service.

After a simple registration, the user can choose to read one of the 10 texts of the underlying collection, or upload your own text in the .txt format.

For people with primary and secondary level of English it is recommended to start with a simple text. For example, with a specially adapted books.

After downloading the text open it ...

... and start reading.

Suppose you encounter an unfamiliar word you hawk. Clicking on the word, you open a form where you can specify the meaning of the word.

Here you can see the translation of the word, and quickly set the desired values ​​for the study by clicking on the fragments of the dictionary entry.

Now the word hawk recorded in the study. Until you have learned the word, meeting him in the texts, you will see it highlighted in color.

Color selection depends on the score and the corresponding status words, the score changed in the course of the study. For example, when you are viewing the page with the word and not to request transfer or hint score increases. If you forget a word and clicks on it again, you first get a hint in the form of the preceding sentence, in which the word you met.

Such indirect hint though, and helps to recall the translation, but requires the application of some of the efforts that activates the process of memorizing. If the word is not possible to recall, you can see its value and the full translation, although in point of knowledge accrued bigger fine.

Policy points can be adjusted by yourself in the preferences.

In addition, all words encountered while reading, even if the translation of it had not been requested, stored and read enough pages, you can learn your vocabulary with accuracy to words.

For any text, you can get statistics: how much new in it for you words, how much study and so on.

In addition to reading, the user can learn the words with the help of trainers.

The simulator "writing" requires the user to enter a word, giving a hint in the form of translation and, optionally, the length of the word and its first letter.

"Variant" is required to choose the right option from several alternatives.

The simulator "dash" the right word to be inserted in the proposal.
