- In this video, I explain how reading in English can help you learn new words. Please remember that reading is just one of the tools you can use to learn English and if you want results, it is not enough to just read in English!
Some of Stephen Krashen's works:

At one point in the video I talk about checking whether the vocabulary in the poems you read and learn is formal or informal and whether it is a word that's frequently used.
Firstly, you can check that in a dictionary. It will be mentioned whether the word is formal or informal. If not indicated, the word is probably neutral. My all time favourites are dictionary.cambridge.org/ and www.ldoceonline.com/
If it is indicated that the word is formal, it doesn't mean you can't use it! Formal words are often used in informal speech to make it more eloquent.
Next, you can just google the word. If it comes up in the search results - in ordinary online articles or youtube videos, it is frequent enough.
You can also do a search for the word on youglish.com/ and see what contexts it's used in and how many examples there are.

in brief:
In this video, the speaker discusses three types of reading that can effectively help you learn new vocabulary in a foreign language. These are based on their personal experiences as a foreign language teacher and learner, as well as on scientific research.
1-Extensive Reading: This approach comes from linguist Stephen Krashen's work on the natural approach to language learning. It involves reading material that is almost entirely comprehensible, with only about 5% of unknown words. The material should be compelling and enjoyable, which makes motivation less of an issue. This method focuses on acquiring vocabulary passively through context, without immediately needing to use the words actively.
2-Narrow Reading: This method involves reading a specific type of text or book with repeated use of the same words. By encountering the same words repeatedly, the reader will eventually memorize them. Popular science books are recommended for this approach, as they often cover a narrow topic and use specific vocabulary related to that topic.
3-Deep Reading: This slow reading method involves translating every word in a short text, such as a quote, poem, or essay, to fully understand its meaning. Writing down the translated text in a journal can help reinforce the vocabulary and create a deeper connection with the material.
The speaker emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to language learning, and recommends trying out these different reading methods to see what works best for each individual.
Я никогда не пишу комментарии, но вам напишу, продолжайте пожалуйста выпускать видео, вас очень приятно слушать и вы всегда даете действительно полезную информацию, буду смотреть все ваши видео ❤
Thank you!
Как круто, что мне в рекомендациях выпал этот канал. У вас шикарнейшее произношение, тоже стремлюсь звучать как нэйтив и ваш пример вдохновляет. Спасибо за полезные видосы ⚡🌟🌟❤️
Согласен! Акцент у неё очень хорош. Ничуть не хуже настоящего Австралийца.
I really like the way you speak. I would never think that at some point you were my neighbour 😉I mean in terms of neighbouring countries. Perfect pronunciation👍You seemed to be such a nice person😊
Thank you Barbara!
Hi Inna❤ I am English learner and I share my journey on my channel and recently found you. Your approach and advice something new for me. Actually I hated reading but for now I love it finally
Wow, Inna. What you've done is just amazing. Your English is flawless. I am myself an English learner and I hardly find people who have developed it so well as you, also considering that you come from a completely different linguistic background. Well done!
Thank you Riccardo!
What a beautiful English pronunciation and tone! ❤
Thank you, Inna. It's really useful!
Thank you Inna for another nice and helpful video!
Great video and useful topic, thanks a lot, Inna! 🌷🌷🌷I find it really useful to jot down some interesting words that I come across while reading👍
Thanks. I like your speaking, perfect
This is really helpful👊🏼
Great video! Learning new vocabulary is such an important part of language learning, and you've provided some really helpful tips.
Personally, one method that works for me is to read a book chapter by chapter in my native language, and then again in the language I am learning. This allows me to first understand the context and plot of the story, and then focus on learning the specific words and phrases used in the target language without much effort.
Great one! That's how I started watching movies and series in English as well. I first started with those I'd already watched in my native language
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about reading. 👒 That's why I'm reading a few books at the same time, I guess, because they have different learning goals!
Nice! I somehow do the 2nd and 3rd intuitively for years ☺ now, I would love to hear about your approach in terms of grammar 🙏
I would say, reading isn't a special tool for learning, it's more likely a tool for improving for learners who have already achieved a high level. An exception is reading and listening together resp. at the same time, preferred of short texts.
Thank you so much! You have a really good British accent.
Hi, Inna. Thank you for your lesson 😀.
Hello Inna,
Thank you for another useful content here. As a language learner I find a reading approach super helpful to cultivate a target language. Besides hugely contributing to vocab expansion, the reading activity helps to remember the spelling of words which is necessary for academic purpose. Aslo, it somewhat creates an unbelievable micro-environment in your head after which you feel confident to speak the language to any native speaker. I suppose, it quickens your mental processing capacity so that you begin to communicate without thinking as a matter of fact. This phenomenon I've noticed in myself several times.
The types of reading you presented in this video are chosen individually and experimented by amateur language learners. Besides that I want to share a bit of my experience. I read the same book in two languages at the same time, I mean chapter by chapter. For instance, now I''ve started to read "1984" by George Orwell in English and Russian. This method helps me naturally acquire the equivalents where I don't have to look up every single word in the dictionary. The downside could be a time consuming process of reading two books of the same content. But, if one is committed to advance the vocabulary, then this negative side could easily be forgotten. To tell the truth, learning words should be a perennial process for a committed language learner as we sometimes discover new words or elements of them in our native langauges. So, thank you for hard work, Inna.
Thank you Islombek for sharing your experience! Indeed, you can even buy a dual language (parallel) book and that's a method some people use to learn new vocabulary. For the most part, I'm too impatient for that, but it does work for many
Inna, I really enjoy your videos!
I just visiting ur youtobe , so u have amazing the way you explain every single in more detail ,
What a nice explanation
Good job
Your pronunciation is captivating! It’s inspiring 😌
Inna, thanks for another compelling video ☺️ Deep reading was absolutely new and unexpected to me.
Thank you 😊
Thanks
Безумно полезный контент , спасибо вам )
Great
I like it that you have your notes and not a teleprompter, it makes it so much more natural; I don’t like when you see the eyes rolling all the time to follow text on an tp
Thank you for inspiring video. The most important is to find the right book, which is not too complicated or boring. I’d say it’s key to success
That's true! Unfortunately, I cannot recommend any book in particular, but I'd start by getting one which is about a topic you already know something about - say, food, or something else
супер круто!!! спасибо вам!!
Thank you so much! It's really important advices. I'm reading small and fanny my son's book. Of course it's very easy stories^ but there are a lot of typical words and phrases in this book
Great if you find it useful!
I like the narrow reading method. It simulates the spaced repetition method and can be applied to watching g videos or listening to audios as well.
Absolutely! The first videos I started watching without subtitles in English were workout routines and general fitness advice. Helped me a lot to progress in my listening comprehension skills as well as learn the vocabulary
You are lit 🌹👍🤗 I relish watching your videos. It is both listening activities and reading some subtitles. 😊
🙏Thank you
Inna, thank you very much for information !!! Nice to hear you from Belarus. I know that you are from Belarus too. And this fact makes me appreciate your content even more
О, она из Минска? Я пока тоже ).
cool video
Ого, какое у вас шикарное произношение!
fantastic teacher. i. new here and i am happy thank you so much . and i hope someday you can talk in spanish . just a little bit. saludos desde guatemala
Could you give us some advice about vocabulary you use, thanks in advance 😊
Thanks! For deep-reading quotes, I think song lyrics would also work. Do you agree?
Welcome to Kerala
Hi there! Great video!
Am still in awe listening to you speaking with a British accent :)
I have a question:
Do you have a video on your channel where you explain why you decided to speak BrEnglish in particular? Is there anything special in BrEnglish that excites you?
I think I mentioned it briefly in the video about learning pronunciation, but I'm not sure. Basically, I didn't choose. That was the accent we were taught at university (although the one we were taught there was traditional rp, almost all of it, very old-fashioned), so I just took it from there.
Thank you, my wonderful friend. How do I communicate with you to learn English? It is a major dilemma for me. Your friend Ali is from Iraq.
Почему я подписана на вас в инстаграмме так давно только месяц назад обнаружила этот канал😅 Очень нравится!
Will got one day my way
The problem with books for me - is to find books that I really like. I'm filologist so I prefer classical novels or novels with difficult language and plot. But my level of English is not really high, and I can not read Dickens or Tolkien and have to read modern books. And often they are really boring.
I know what you mean! Especially if you're a fan of classics or sophisticated fiction (even if contemporary), it can be hard to find something you like. I would probably then suggest starting with biographies? Why don't you find a biography of one of your favourite writers and make sure it's written in a simpler language (simpler than the fiction you like I mean)
@Valeria Hi, you could try what Islombek suggested earlier. That is: reading books in two languages. You point out that you have to read modern literature. Some modern writers you might try: A.M. Homes, Elisabeth Strout, Jeanette Winterson, Hanif Kureishi, Edward St Aubyn. @ Inna, maybe you could ask your viewers what books they like to read, so we can react in the comments and recommend our favorite books...
@@innainenglish oo, I don't like biographies😭 so, it's like a dead end for me...and good motivation to learn English harder...
@@englishforadvancedlearners Hi! I crazy about St. Aubyn! And I like him because of brilliant language. I read books about Patrick Melrose or at least try, but it was like ordeal for me. But thank you for your advise, I will check authors that I mentioned!
@@valeriapetuhova9944 I was just pondering about style and brilliant language: you might like books by Stephen Fry as well, he retold Greek myths, but also wrote about his own life. And children books by Lloyd Alexander, not easy, not childish, sparkling with funny words and rhythm, a joy to read. And do you know 'Revolutionary road' by Richard Yates?
O, I can read almost every non-adapted book. But to create just two-three sentence I should look into the translator. And non-adapted native conversation is hard for me to be understood by ear. I met people that, on the contrary, can speak absolutely fluently but reading in English is hard for them. So only complex approach helps to achieve balanced skills.
Absolutely! 'Knowing' a language involves a number of skills and competences and cannot be achieved doing one thing only
The most successful learners seem to all use real paper books and notes with real pens on real paper, it seems to me, including Luke Lampariello and Lindie Botes, right?
What's that on the wall over her right shoulder?
Multiple studies have shown that indeed, we learn better by reading real books and making real notes, on paper. So Idk might be true!
Невероятное шикарнейшее произношение!!!!! Лучше нейтивов, так грамотно, а главное понятно
Are you able to speak with American accent? Do you by any chance have a video speaking American English? Thank you.
Hi Inna, if you give private lessons, how can I contact you, please? Thanks!
I don't. Well not for the next year or so
Please make long story to Short now what did conculted
How are you
Не могли бы вы рассказать, как перестать использовать переводчик? Все нужные слова более менее известны, но когда нужно составить предложение, предпочитаю отдать эту работу машинам)) Просто если пытаться составить фразу самостоятельно, получается более криво чем через DeepL, а иногда вообще путаю времена. Что посоветуете - зубрить грамматику, или нужно просто больше самостоятельной разговорной и письменной практики?
The latter :) It's actually exactly what I feel like when I have to write in German. So I just make myself write without the help of a translator, although I sometimes double-check it by running the text through deepl as well. I know that in time, I'll be able to write better. In writing, it also helps to memorise certain patterns and cliches you find yourself using repeatedly, so you can produce them faster next time
hello my setr🌹👍👍👍🎉🎉
Mejorar la constancia. Seria lo razonable.
lets see inna in french
*_Inna, you've got a beautiful Australian accent!_*
I live in Australia. It is not even close. Much better
@@Summer-3 which one is "much better"? Hers or the real Australian?
@@user-nn6up7uj4c if this is a question, you need to ask politely. And not hers, but Inna's. Inna speaks better. You must be an Australian " linguist ".
@@Summer-3 I don't have to "ask politely", even though I did.
It's really funny that you're saying her accent is _"much better"_ than Australians' (considering, they're native speakers), just ridiculous. What's wrong with u?:)
She has a slight English accent to my ear, and she mentioned that she lived in the UK for a year.
У меня есть один проект. И я хочу что бы вы в нём участвовали.
Как можно с вами связаться?
Для глубокого чтения еще хорошо подходят графические романы, мало текста и много картинок.
Great idea!
То самое, чувство, когда мне нужно лучше вьіучить язьік, чтобьі понять как читать для изучения язьіка😂. Но все равно спасибо, за видео😊
I'm sure you didn't see here before me other one like me ?
Please make it shorter
I don't need to hear you voice I'll lelf that way and seek other now
Help you learn, not to learn
Both are correct
too long bye
