It's best to do various activities - reading, listening, writing and speaking. You will achieve the best results if you combine those four disciplines. For example, you can listen to a tape or watch a film and read the tapescript/the captions at the same time. Also, it's important that you practise your skills as often as possible.

And what about if you don't know many words from the text? It's a hard procedure to look for each unknown word in dictionary. |

Hi Alex,
You don't have to look up every new word in the dictionary. If you use an English-English dictionary you can read the definition of keywords that appear often through the text. This method has a much better long term effect than translating words into your mother tongue. Also, if you think that the text you are reading contains too many unknown words - find another text that is easier for you to understand and read more often.
