It is easier and more effective to do this by absorbing interesting content. Often this is something that brings pleasure: watching films in English, reading books and listening to their audio versions.

What to look for when choosing books with stories and short stories
It should begin with small sketches or episodes and small adapted stories on a theme with a simple plot.
Each level of English requires a certain amount of knowledge. Therefore, it is essential to choose stories of the level that you are able to learn at the moment. For example, interesting and short stories by the author O. Henry will be difficult for those in the early stages of learning the language.
Today, you can buy many different editions with short stories that correspond to a particular level of English.
A few important hints:
At A1-A2 level, the simplest literature is suitable for reading, including children's literature if you are just starting to learn the language;
B1-B2 level opens up a significant array of fiction texts, articles, etc., which are not saturated with special vocabulary, archaisms, dialectisms;
at subsequent levels, you will have no need to refer to short stories, episodes and sketches to make further progress in the language.
Some rules for reading short stories effectively
In order to have fun and also bring a lot of benefits in language learning, we advise you to read wisely. To do this, you should:
do not translate in the process of reading with the help of any improvised means, try to find out the meaning of words from the context;
highlight unfamiliar words in the text;
find out the meanings of unknown words using dictionaries with examples of usage and synonyms.
The main thing is not to give up. Having chosen a text that is too difficult, the reader can put it aside for later and proceed to easier adaptations by other authors.
