<p>I think I suggested this to you before, but I didn’t check if you read it or not.</p>
<p>Anyway, I do this to learn French, so I think this will help you to learn English. </p>
<p>I think reading an English-language (preferably American) newspaper would be just as, if not more, helpful as reading books like “Emma.” Jane Austen (or any author of her time period) often uses archaic words and unusual sentence structures that are challenging for anyone to understand. On the other hand, (well-respected) newspapers use difficult vocabulary and varied sentence structures but are more understandable to modern readers.</p>
<p>Here are the links to some well-respected newspapers (you can read their articles for free on their websites):
[The</a> New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia](<a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/]The”>http://www.nytimes.com/)
[Business</a> News & Financial News - The Wall Street Journal - WSJ.com](<a href=“The Wall Street Journal - Breaking News, Business, Financial & Economic News, World News and Video”>The Wall Street Journal - Breaking News, Business, Financial & Economic News, World News and Video)
[Los</a> Angeles Times - California, national and world news - latimes.com](<a href=“http://www.latimes.com/]Los”>http://www.latimes.com/)</p>
<p>Some of their articles require knowledge of things like economics and American politics to understand them, but I think the sections like science, food and drink, travel, and etc. don’t require too much outside knowledge (sports might not be too bad either if you read about a sport you’re familiar with). Here’s a science article that I think is around SAT-level:
