If it (the text) gets too difficult, try reading it aloud. It is amazing how much that can help.

It is now commonly accepted that one learns to speak by speaking, but at more advanced levels, oral proficiency might improve through reading (aloud), rather than through small talk.

Good writers, it has been found, have done more reading for their own interest and pleasure than poor writers, this is a programme which can help them learn language automaticaly.

Language acquisition (learning) may occur through producing language, either spoken or written, because learners are more likely to notice gaps in their knowledge when producing output, and learn as a result of trying to fill that gap.
