When studying and reading a novel in a foreign language - when/how often should one look up new words?
If you’ve done this – how often did you pause to look up a new word – thus breaking the flow and concentration?
Is it more important to keep going if the idea is understood – or stop to look up a word to better understand the sentence completely?
What is the balance for this?
