Context Clues

I've changed my method of learning English by reading; this is a new update. This month I have done a lot of research to figure out how I can improve my English vocabulary without memorizing boring word lists, reading intensively (for enhancing vocabulary), or overusing any monolingual dictionary for understanding new words' meanings. I managed to find a new method to enhance my vocabulary without using all the methods mentioned above, and it works 100%. When I started learning English I had heard that memorizing a lot of word lists helps to learn the language quickly. Honestly, I used to memorize lots and lots of word lists and my English didn't advance. This month I've decided to do some research in order to find a solution, then I found so many articles and videos talking about how to enhance English vocabulary without overusing dictionaries or anything else. The method is called context clues, and I find it so effective to improve English vocabulary without looking up each word that I encounter while reading. It is like that: when you are reading something and you encounter an unfamiliar word just try to guess it from the context. If you can't guess it, skip it and when you find it for a second time that means you have to look it up. Since I started using this method, I have learned a lot of new words and most of them by using context clues, and I started to enjoy reading so much because I don't look up new words like ever before. I am not qualified to teach you how to use context clues to figure out unfamiliar words' meanings, but I recommend you google it: it's useful!

I've changed my method of learning English m doing an update because I've changed my English learning-by -reading; this is a new update method.

A "new update" sounds kind of strange because whenever an update is mentioned it's generally considered to be new.

This month, I have done a lot of research to figure out how I can improve my English vocabulary without memorizing boring word lists, reading intensively (forto enhancinge vocabulary), or overusing any monolingual dictionary forto understanding new words' meanings.

"I have" is often said/written as "I've".

I managed to find a new method to enhance my vocabulary without using all the methods mentionedny of the techniques above, and it works 100%.

When you say "all the techniques" it sounds like you didn't use every single one of them, but that you did use some of them. Also, you used "method" twice in this sentence, which is fine but it can sound a bit repetitive.

When I started learning English, I had heard that memorizing a lot of word lists helpsed to learn the language quickly.

"I had" is often said/written as "I'd".

Honestly, I used to memorize lots and lots of word lists and my English didn't advance.

It igoes like thatis: when you a're reading something and you encounter an unfamiliar word, just try to guess it's meaning from the context.

If you can't guess it, skip it, and when you findencounter it for a second time that means you have to look it up.

Since I started using this method, I have learned a lot of new words and, most of them by usingthrough context clues, and I started to enjoy reading so much because I don't look up new words like evera lot less than before.

Sorry! It's "its". Even native speakers often get it confused! :) I hope this helps!

What is the difference between to enhance vs for enhancing?

I'm not entirely sure about the grammatical difference here but I'll try to give the best explanation I can. "Enhance" is the present simple form of the verb "to enhance" while "enhancing" is the present progressive form. In this case, enhance "sounded" better than enhancing when I read it out loud.
