Thank you for your encouragement! I'll search for Doctor who who seems to be amazing! ----- Update to my log:) so, my books will change a little: As I said there is no Assimil in my language then I'll start using the following textbooks: Side by Side 1-4 (A1-B1+) The good thing about these books, They have a lot of drills - which I need it!- Word by word: contains about 4000 words, when I finish learning of it, I'll move to the 4000 Essential English Words "They cover at least 80% of the words in newspapers and academic texts, and at least 90% of the words in novels." Listen to podcasts at normal speed. the sources should be as varied as possible. Read newspaper articles out loud. (People is a very interesting magazine for everyday English) Speak If I can, I'll read the complete Harry Potter novels and its audio books! :) It has a very exciting authors, plus It's available in many languages.

I'll check it out, thank you! Do you know something about readers? or in another way: what do you prefer to read? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I read crime novels like Agatha Christie. My current book is The Hobbit.
I also read classic children book like Alice in Wonderland ( http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11 ) or Huckleberry Finn ( http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/76 ). Or books from Reclams red line ( http://www.reclam.de/programm/reclams_rote_reihe/englisch_am erikanisch ), very popular in German, because most schools use the reclam edition. The notes/vocabulary help is in German. I'm far away from B2, but I'm able to read some original books in English. In the beginning I need a lot of time and always a dictionary by my side, but now it works. If you want to read graded readers, you find a lot readers at amazon or at the publisher homepages. http://elt.oup.com/cat/subjects/graded_reading/?view=Standar d&cc=global&selLanguage=en&mode=hub http://www.pearsonelt.com/pearsonelt/products/searchresults. page? http://www.lektueren.com/englisch/titel/niveau/B2.html Edited by Mareike on 17 May 2013 at 9:07pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Which graded reader have you read? And which kind of books do you like?
Why you restict yourself to graded readers, when you're able to watch TV series? I mean graded readers are a lot more expensive than other books. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
