Quick answer

Use reading history to see what you have actually read over time. It can show consistency, but it does not by itself measure language level or comprehension.

Reading history helps you notice which books and topics you return to over time.

A simple method

Keep the reading flow first. Stop only when a word or sentence is important enough to affect understanding.

  • Read one short passage.
  • Listen or follow the highlighted sentence.
  • Pause at a useful phrase.
  • Say or read the sentence again.
  • Continue before the session turns into constant stopping.

Do not save everything

Stopping for every unknown word can destroy the flow of a story or article.

Save repeated, useful, or meaning-blocking words first. Let minor words wait.

Keep the source sentence

A word is easier to remember when you can see how it was used.

Keep the original sentence or a short note about the context when your study tool allows it.

Review for understanding, not only translation

When you review, try to remember the meaning before opening the translation.

Then read the original sentence again. The goal is to understand the word inside real language.

Detailed troubleshooting checklist
