- Did you know that reading is one of the best ways to improve your speaking? On the other hand, many students don't enjoy reading because they believe they are too slow, and it discourages them. Some students even say they forget a sentence as soon as they've read it. If you want to improve your reading and your speaking, this video is for you. I will teach you two techniques you can use to read faster and more efficiently: grouping and pacing. If you follow the tips in this video, you can cut your reading time in half!

TRANSCRIPT
Man, I really have to read this book and I just don't have the time. Hi. James from engVid. If you're like me, you have to read a lot of material. If you are studying English or you're learning English, you probably don't like to read, which is too bad, because reading is one of the fastest ways to improve... Well, let's go to the board and find out.
As you can see, E is running very quickly, here. Right? And he's trying to read. So, we're going to learn to read faster today, and I'm going to teach you how to read faster with two different techniques, and I'm going to teach you... You'll start to enjoy your reading. So we'll go to the board and we'll talk about reading, why it's important, and what we can do about it.
The first thing I want to talk about with reading: Reading helps to do a couple of things. Number one, it helps you to learn new things. When you read a book about philosophy, it teaches you about somebody's new idea or a new invention. It gives you new vocabulary. Many words... In fact, they say if you don't understand 90% of the material, you won't understand it; but even just reading something, if you have a dictionary, will help you go and learn new vocabulary to understand material, so it gives you new words; it gives you a better or a wider way to speak.
It helps you to understand. Sometimes when someone says something it's a little too fast, but then when you read it, you have time to read it, go back, read it, go back, read it, and go: "I got it." Right? It gives you time to look at the picture; the mental picture or the written picture. It gives you new ideas. Remember you learn new things? Well, when you start adding idea from this book, idea from that book, you get new ideas of your own; you become more creative. Your world becomes a richer place to live.
And, finally, because we're doing English, you learn how to speak a language. Like: "Stop. What do you mean? How do I learn to speak by reading?" Well, for you people who are learning to speak a language-okay?-reading shows you the structure that people use when they speak. Reading shows you new vocabulary, or it shows you what we call the colloquial; the common person's way of speaking. You get all that from reading; how to say it, where to put the verb and the noun or the adjective. Right? Cool? That's what it can do, and that's what's important to us. Our reading is going to teach us how to speak, but also it's good to be able to read in a country, because I often say: If you cannot read in a language, you're stupid. And if you wonder what I mean, think about the guy who when you give a simple sentence, like: "The cat went in the house", cannot read it and he reads it like: "The cat went in", you go: "The guy's stupid." Don't be stupid. Don't be stupid in your language; don't be stupid in my language. So today we're going to work on a process to help you with reading.
Now, as much as I said all these great things about reading, there are a couple of things to be aware of, or... Actually, I don't have to tell you. You know, but I want you to know that I understand, so I'm putting it on the board so you know what I'm going to teach you will help you overcome or help you solve that problem. Problem: Reading takes a long time. Well, in your own language it takes some time, but if you're learning another language, it will always take you much longer to read because you have a problem of translating, or skipping back and translating. Translating, you know what I mean; you translate from the language you're looking at into your own language to understand it, and then translate it back to that language - that's a lot of work. And if you think about how long that takes, that's like two different trips, like: In, out; in, out; in, out for every word. That will take... Something that takes four minutes to read - make you read it for 20 minutes. And who wants to read one paragraph or five sentences, and it takes 10 minutes, and you still don't understand it? That's a problem.
Another problem: You don't remember what you read. Do you remember when I said to you: "You're reading up and down"? […]
I started reading 2 years ago at age 40. In two years I have discovered how uneducated I was, to having a different outlook at life as a whole...All because I started reading things. I regret all of the years I lost wondering through the world not being present, but I have to be thankful that I'm now finding my way. It's never too late ppl ! :)
Age is his a number.
I am 60. Not too late yet
That's amazing so happy for you and I totally agree all breed the same coupon reading and enjoying life 🙌🏿
Kudos to you....that you realised... this...not at the right time but still.... it's better to know something..than being dumb! Nd at last,age is jst a number...we r never too old to learn something new ❤️
Can someone else teach English better than James?... I don't think so!, thanks teacher you're superb.
superb~~~~
@@mikeyoyo3431 If you have problems with listening skills or you don't even understand what you hear so let me help you how to improve your ears to catch every single word especially when you watch movies.
there's no magic to get this ability or skill in one day! but there's a particular way to improve it as much as possible! in fact you need to train your ears and also pay attention carefully. it may take a long time to understand what's going on through movies or even in difficult conversations. but if you practice over and over again, i promise you that you will see the results so soon, you're going to have a better listening skills that you've never expected before.
so I suggest you to check out our You tube channel "GoodWave" if would like to see the improvement quickly. each video contains some parts that took from movies and also has subtitles to help you understand well.

I have 113 pages of Southeast Asian history to read for a test.
I hope you know how much your techniques helped me.
Thanks a million.
Speed reading is not working when you try to memorize something İt just helps you to checking the book or papers fastly .You have to spend your time on the important points in your history papers
This guy is legend...he need 2 be the professor and high paid teacher,,agree??

thx
thanks
Thanks
Tnx bro...
Thank you
OMG... I know I had a problem but nobody could help me . No one explained to me how to improve, but now I find the secret. I am trying this method now . Thanks a million .
Whenever I read a book, I take notes on it, and I seem to recall all the information without going to my notes. I also got my notes to go back to if I ever need it. Right now, I’m learning, analyzing, studying, and understanding the stock market 😁
Summary:
Group words and phrases together
Use finger or mouse cursor as a "pacer" while reading
I wrote it in a comment a few years before that my opinon still hasn't changed. You are the best english teacher I've ever seen here on youtube or during my school education time. I know my english is not good as I expect for it, but I still keep on it to improve it every day
Thank you Mr. James! No one can do this job better than you!
I got addicted to reading, especially after I got my kindle. It's so much easy to touch a word and find its meaning in 1 sec. Additionally, it can keep your unknown words for later practice.
I’ve been reading like this since I was a child. Always received an A in English.
This video has exactly what I've been wanting to get it.
Marvelous, James, you always make me want to move and start things. Thanks a lot.
You're the best! You've explained the speed reading in a few minutes. OMG I'm impressed! Bravooooo! 👏👏👏👏
I love you James! You helped me out! I just started grad school after a long break and I need these kinds of tutorials
If you're get bored to reading books
Read something what you're interested in. Like Game informations or character info. and news things

It's true! There is nothing worse than reading boring things..
I need to read for school ;-;
Ana Ponyflight read something you’re interested in? I mean, people created thousands of books and you just don’t like anything? At least you should find a book you’ll fall in love with in your own language.
Yes! sometimes I'm encounter that scenario when I was lying in my bed and I want to read some books to be know a lot in english but I won't do because of my laziness and I am not interested.
Thank you James! What a great lesson! Putting it to practice immediately!
practiced immediately, it works man, many thanks
You are one of the best teacher that i saw for my entire life .
Thank you sir for your explanation i am mustaf from somalia
Although it has been a couple of days since I started watching these videos, it has helped me a lot to keep up with my English studies, and I think I will probably watch more of such lessons.
This was honestly the first helpful video on the topic that I have found, thank you !
Thank you, James. I learnt much from you previously, and haven’t seen you since I have confidence about my English but I just found this video. I still have lots of things to learning from you. Thank you amazing teacher! I don’t like study, but I don’t mind watching yours because really interesting your description!
I think I read a lot faster than most other people, even faster than average native English speakers. But I think this bad habit, reading fast, messed up my English. First off, I read fast because I want to get the contents of the books asap, which made me lazy looking up the dictionaries for correct pronunciation. I catch the meaning s of new words in the context of the text or passage instead of looking up for proper pronunciation.
Also, I have to read the same book several times for I miss a lot at first or second round of reading.
Reading fast helps to catch the overall contents of the books fast and efficient. But when it comes to scientific and technical subject matter, it only slows down and hinders my concrete and solid understanding.
I always advise my son to read slow, but diligently.
Reading slow is not slow. It saves me tremendous time and frustrations. I always whisper to myself, "Tom, read slow, if you don't want to read it again!"
Oh brother you made my day with that experience,, thanks for sharing..
My advice to you is :read and underline (with a pencil!) unfamiliar words that appear at least twice. After you finish reading the book , please look up the translation of the underlined words in dictionary (a book or a digital dictionary on your computer or on your cell phone). You can write the translation with a pencil beside the word .
Yes. Even i try to understand the meaning of a sentence in one read even if it means i have to read slowly. Saves a lot of time overall.
+dalia rishon I share your your advice because understanding new words becomes easier when words are underlined.

When I was learning German 🇩🇪, it took me some time to build the confidence to read a book. I was trying to read magazine articles very early. They were a bit easier in that they were shorter and I could choose to try to read something I liked and had some knowledge about already. The tabloid style 📰 were best because they generally do not use complex language. I could even work my way through "professional" material because they were shorter and focused 🔎 on a particular subject matter.
Later I picked up a Young Adult novel 📖. It was challenging at first. I started out looking up words, then marking them for later 🖍. After a while, I decided just to bulldoze my way though 🚧 because it was to much effort to keep interrupting the process. I found that as I continued, I understood more by virtue of exposing myself to the material. I could infer definitions by context and was so excited when I finished! 🎉
Thank you so much for this! Highly appreciated.
This guy is great, I been listening several classes about varios topics. Nice teacher, he makes the art of teaching in a funny way and at the same time, understandable.
You have great sense of humor and such a understanding teacher you are. Love to watch your classes and take lessons from these.

These tips was awesome, You're the best teacher on youtube! Thank you for help us! Your videos help me a lot.
Great explanation, muchas gracias!!!
You know, you are magic! The best teacher! Thank you so much!!!
This is a phenomenal , I could say epic teacher! Well said young man.
In 17 minutes I've learned so much informations than university's education in 4 years
Amazing how it can possible.
Really ??🤔🤔
Slight exaggeration maybe!? You'll be happy to know I just watched a video that covers more in half the time... The lottery keeps on giving
Bro me ...lifetime lesson in schoolwas waste thia guy is awesome
I agree, he is a great & patient teacher. I wish I had a teacher like that in school...since I was really bad at English. Unfortunately I didn't find any video yet, that taught me something new. I taught myself English by watching movies & series with English Subtitle, every day, many hours...years over years.
I can read English extremely fast because of it. I don't even say the words in my head, I just look at the sentences briefly (like talking a picture of the whole sentence) & I understand. I learned grammar, vocabulary etc without actually learning.
The fun part was, that the movies/series themselves weren't in English, they were another foreign language (e.g. Japanese, Korean, Chinese) which I learned with reading the English Subtitle. So, I was able to learn 2 foreign languages at once. Very effective for lazy people haha.
I took a couple of years, but now I can understand e.g. Japanese 95%, when watching movies/series & don't even need any Subtitle anymore.
So, I can recommend doing that. Of course to put the reading & the pronunciation together, watching movies/series which are actually in English should be added. But I never used Subtitles for that...but for people who have problems, it's surely useful.
My biceps of English is improving with your help James, while I'm watching this video. Thanks, mate. My gratitude. Keep up!
Jezzzzzz. I always had problems when reading. Couldn’t remember or speed up. However, after this lesson I managed to read around 800 words in 4 min. It will for sure change my life. I am more than grateful for your willingness and help to improve people’s lives. Thanks for the incredible work and all your professionalism. Bless you always and many greetings from BRAZIL 🇧🇷
This guy has such a beautiful sound it gets me every time

brother you have awesome knowledge. I see that people view your vids less than others but i will tell people about you...you have it. thanks a million
I tried the grouping and pacing methods with “TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD”.
Original method = 2:40 minutes per page
About 70-80% comprehension.
Grouping = 1:11 minutes per page
Pacing = 1:13 minutes per page
I’d say about 50-60% comprehension. I’m happier.
Thank you.
I love you sir
I like you
I like you your teaching methods
