For the past 2 or so years, I have been struggling with annoying problems.
I don't remember if I had them back when I was younger, and I only noticed recently, but I believe it's new.
For example, an issue I struggle with is about words. While I'm not a native speaker of English (Hebrew), I have great knowledge of my language. Yet, while reading, I encounter words I KNOW their meaning - it's not as if I'm misinformed of their definition, I truly do know it; yet when I try to express it using words, I get stuck; only in feel I understand.
It's making my reading slow and a toll; every word I "know" I write down to look it up later; I do not know how to deal with this problem. It's like an obsession, and I don't know how to handle it - and it's making a reading session of 20 minutes to 40, since it's a loophole - I check more and more words...
Another issue I noticed is I sometimes skip words when reading, or getting stuck on a word - it's like a weird stage, between reading a bit slow every word once at a time, to speed reading; it's like I lost my pace and I don't know how to read anymore.
How do you read? Do you have "voices" that voice the sentences you read, do you speed read? Or perhaps something else?
While it's been a rant of mine, and I hope some of you might have tips for me; did you too struggle with some issues during reading? What can be done about it in order to read better, efficiently, and actually understanding and remembering what you read?
