This post is for the ones having difficulty in reading articles or any other piece of writing containing difficult words.
Learning English is an art. And reading and understanding can be made a lot easier if you know the tricks of the trade.
I have been teaching English Grammar and Literature for the last 7 years and have something useful to share.
You will be surprised to know that the real English words are merely 50 % while the remaining are composed with the addition of either a prefix ( the word that is written before the original word. e.g. un, in, im, etc.) and suffix ( the word that is written after the original word. e.g. less, ale, ily, etc.)
The main thing you need to learn is the root word which gives birth to numerous words.
For instance, the word "vid" generally refers to "view". If you know this thing then you can easily understand meanings of the words you have never heard or read before. e.g. video. vision, visual. evidence. and many more such words which will give you the sense of the word.
I repeatedly quote that half of the words for better understandings of English are merely a guess work which you can learn by knowing the word etymology.
So for the quick reading of editorial, make use of guess-work by using common sense and etymology.

For Better And Convenient Reading And Understanding Of English.
Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time.
Here again I quote that I had never studied etymology at all but had good common sense of comparing different words and taking out the similarities.
Nothing is easy or difficult to study. All I know is easy to me and vice versa.
It also needs one's personal interest as well to develop the skill.
Developing the skill of etymology needs your keen observation along with little effort.
Another example for etymology is as follows.
The words such as spectacle, spectrum, prospect, aspect, spectacular, inspection, inspector, etc, have some thing in common and that is "spec". So one can easily develop the sense that all these words have more or less the similar meanings having a common word among them.
All have some connection, one way or the other, with the meaning "view".
Hence, one can easily guess the meanings of various bizarre words one comes across while reading a newspaper or some other piece of writing.
