Hello, I am 22 years old Norwegian. I trying to improve my English, but I feel a bit lost. I can understand much more than I am capable to speak, but I can take a part in a conversation, but it is just basic I think. I have watched a lot of US movies and TV shows, and that’s maybe why my listening skills are much better compare to my speaking skills.
Today I was starting to read a book named “THE GIVER”, but I gave up after 5 pages. The book is using many different words, and I tried to look up every word I didn’t understand, but it was so exhausting. I do understand the meaning of the phrases, but If I shall grow my vocabulary I need to understand new words. If not, it is not a point to read I think, or I am wrong? I usually do not like to read in my own language, so it is very hard to concentrate when I don’t understand many English words. I like genre as real stories and romance. I think the best way to start reading in English is to begin with something easy stuff, and grow it bigger after a while. Do some of you know any real-life stories or romance where the language are easy to understand. I think my English level is between beginner to intermediate, so if anybody knows good books in that level, I would be very happy to know.
