I READ ENGLISH BUT NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH WHAT I SHOULD DO
If you’re reading English but not fully understanding it, here are some helpful steps to improve your comprehension, explained in both English and Hindi:
1. Start with Simpler Texts (सरल सामग्री से शुरुआत करें)
- English: Begin by reading easy texts like children’s books, short stories, or beginner-level articles. Gradually, as you understand more, move to more complex texts.
- Hindi: शुरुआत सरल किताबों, बच्चों की किताबों, और छोटे लेखों से करें। जैसे-जैसे आप समझने में सक्षम होंगे, आप कठिन सामग्री पर काम कर सकते हैं।
2. Build Your Vocabulary (अपनी शब्दावली बढ़ाएं)
- English: Focus on learning new words. Write down any difficult words, look up their meanings, and try to use them in sentences.
- Hindi: नए शब्द सीखने पर ध्यान दें। जो शब्द आपको कठिन लगे, उन्हें लिखें, उनके अर्थ जानें और फिर उन शब्दों का वाक्यों में उपयोग करने की कोशिश करें।
3. Read Aloud (जोर से पढ़ें)
- English: Reading aloud helps with pronunciation and strengthens your understanding of sentence structures.
- Hindi: जोर से पढ़ने से आपकी उच्चारण में सुधार होगा और वाक्य संरचना को समझने में मदद मिलेगी।
4. Use a Dictionary (शब्दकोश का उपयोग करें)
- English: Keep a dictionary with you while reading. It can be a bilingual dictionary (English-Hindi) initially, and then gradually move to an English-only dictionary.
- Hindi: पढ़ते समय शब्दकोश का उपयोग करें। शुरुआत में आप द्विभाषी शब्दकोश (English-Hindi) का उपयोग कर सकते हैं, और बाद में केवल इंग्लिश शब्दकोश का उपयोग करें।
5. Read with a Purpose (उद्देश्य के साथ पढ़ें)
- English: Before reading, decide if you are reading for general understanding or for specific information. This helps you focus better.
- Hindi: पढ़ने से पहले यह तय करें कि आप सामान्य समझ के लिए पढ़ रहे हैं या विशेष जानकारी के लिए। इससे आपको बेहतर ध्यान केंद्रित करने में मदद मिलेगी।
6. Watch Videos with Subtitles (सबटाइटल के साथ वीडियो देखें)
- English: Watching videos or movies in English with English subtitles can help you connect spoken and written words and improve your understanding.
- Hindi: इंग्लिश वीडियो या फिल्में देखें, और साथ में इंग्लिश सबटाइटल्स भी चालू करें। इससे आपको बोले गए और लिखे गए शब्दों को जोड़ने में मदद मिलेगी और आपकी समझ में सुधार होगा।
7. Practice Active Reading (सक्रिय पढ़ाई का अभ्यास करें)
- English: As you read, try to summarize the content in your own words. This helps you to process and better understand the material.
- Hindi: पढ़ते समय, सामग्री का सारांश अपने शब्दों में लिखने की कोशिश करें। इससे आप जानकारी को बेहतर तरीके से समझ सकते हैं।
8. Listen to English (इंग्लिश सुनें)
- English: Listening to English (through podcasts, audiobooks, etc.) can help you understand how sentences are constructed and improve your overall understanding.
- Hindi: इंग्लिश पॉडकास्ट, ऑडियोबुक्स आदि सुनने से आपको यह समझने में मदद मिलेगी कि वाक्य कैसे बनाए जाते हैं और आपकी कुल समझ में भी सुधार होगा।
9. Learn Grammar (व्याकरण सीखें)
- English: Understanding grammar is essential. Start with basics like tenses, subject-verb agreement, and gradually move on to more complex concepts.
- Hindi: व्याकरण को समझना बहुत जरूरी है। शुरुआत सरल व्याकरण से करें जैसे काल, विषय-क्रिया समझौता, और फिर धीरे-धीरे जटिल विषयों की ओर बढ़ें।
10. Practice Regularly (नियमित अभ्यास करें)
- English: Make it a habit to read in English daily, even if it’s just a few paragraphs. The more you practice, the better you will understand.
- Hindi: रोज़ाना इंग्लिश पढ़ने की आदत डालें, भले ही केवल कुछ पैराग्राफ़ पढ़ें। जितना अधिक आप अभ्यास करेंगे, उतना ही बेहतर समझ पाएंगे।
11. Join a Language Group or Take Classes (भाषा समूह से जुड़ें या कक्षाएं लें)
- English: Join an English learning group or take formal classes. Having a teacher or community to practice with can make a big difference.
- Hindi: इंग्लिश लर्निंग ग्रुप से जुड़ें या कक्षाएं लें। एक शिक्षक या समुदाय के साथ अभ्यास करने से बड़ा फर्क पड़ता है।
12. Be Patient and Persistent (धैर्य रखें और निरंतर प्रयास करें)
- English: Language learning takes time, so be patient. With consistent practice, you will see improvement.
- Hindi: भाषा सीखने में समय लगता है, इसलिए धैर्य रखें। नियमित अभ्यास से आप सुधार देखेंगे।
By following these steps, you will gradually improve your reading comprehension in English. Remember, consistency is key—don’t give up! Keep practicing and you’ll notice improvement over time. 😊
