Extensive Reading help needed
Posted: Sat Jul 20, 2019 1:26 pm
Hello everyone. I have been using extensive reading to help improve my Tamil for a while. I have been reading Rajaji's abridged version of the Ramayana due to my familiarity with the story from childhood bedtime stories. However, I have a problem. I have reached a part of the story where I don't really understand the writing. My research on extensive reading has not given me information on what I am supposed to do in this case. I have come up with the following options:
1. Give up on the book and read something else
2. Skip this part of the book to one I can start to understand
3. Go through this portion of the text with a dictionary and turn this into intensive reading
4. Read this portion of the book in English translation and go back to the Tamil version later
Which of these options should I take? Or should I do something else entirely? I appreciate any advice this forum can give me.
