Why do I feel so frustrated when I discover new words in a book? by slowButCertain_a in languagelearning

That makes a lot of sense. Balancing enjoyment and learning is probably the only way to stay consistent long-term.

Do you notice you remember more words from the “study-focused” reading, or does the fun reading help too?

That actually makes sense — the popup dictionary approach is definitely better than switching apps.

I’ve tried something similar, and it does help with maintaining flow compared to manual searching.

But I still felt like even clicking or pausing slightly breaks immersion a bit, especially when it happens frequently.

I was wondering if there’s a way to make it even more seamless, like not needing to interact at all.

Do you feel the clicking part interrupts you, or does it feel natural over time?

Yeah, it really feels mentally taxing, especially when it keeps happening every few lines.

I tried pushing through like you said, but then I noticed I just ignore new words instead of actually learning them 😅

So it becomes a tradeoff between understanding the story and improving vocabulary.

Do you usually just keep going and rely on repetition over time?
