Reading with a dictionnary is a good way to learn a language. When you
forget a word, you are obliged to look in the dictionnary twice, or three
time, or more for the same word, and you are so upset that you don't forget
your words any more! But I prefer reading  in the original language books
I have read before in their translation. That's the way I learned English,
with Peter Cheney and James Hadley Chase. Of course, better to have a
dictionnary with phonetics indicated.
