How to use the reading trainer effectively
This exercise trains your ability to read short texts and understand
the context without translating every word immediately.
The goal is to build language intuition, decoding skills and confidence
when reading real text.
📖 Read first without help
Start by reading the whole text at a calm pace.
You do not need to understand every word. Try to understand the situation:
who is involved, what happens and why.
🧠 Guess from context
Good reading comprehension often means daring to make smart guesses.
Use words you already recognize, names, places, tone and the sequence
of events to understand the rest.
👀 Show translation when you want to check
The Show translation button is not cheating.
It helps you compare your own understanding with the meaning of the text.
❓ Use Help to decode details
When you press Help, important words and phrases are marked with a dotted
underline.
Click a marked part to get a short explanation of that exact detail.
Help can explain:
- vocabulary
- verb forms
- expressions and chunks
- small grammar keys
- things that are easy to misunderstand
⚡ Train short and often
This trainer is designed for short sessions.
Each text should feel like a small reading experience, not like a test.
