I think reading iin English is a great way to improve vocabulary and writing skills. But it can be very frustrating to have to keep looking in a dictionary because you don't understand all the words. Of course, you don't always need to know every word, and often you can guess the meaning of the word from the context, but it's sometimes difficult to know what word you need to look up, and what word you can "ignore".
What do you do when you read? Do you look up every word, or only those you're sure are important to understand?

Dictionary is very helpful to find the meaning the we wont understand. I suggest that if youre not came from the English country ro not 1st language u should buy a english and the language that u sue to it . It helps for u to understand the words that u would find out . example if you are french speaker and its difficult for u to understand u should buy french-english dictionary .
When I'm reading I take a look the words that are not easy or not familiar for me. Some I may understand by the context but I still want to know exactly what it means.
