Technical English - where to look and how to read?

Question

Books

The essence of the question is mostly indicated in the header. The main issue for me now is the following - many employers require knowledge of English at a technical level. If you learned technical English, how and from what sources?

Answer 1

Most recently, I answered this question in detail here .

Answer 2

Everyone learned technical English from manuals. When you need to find out something, and the source is only in English.

Answer 3

Any specialized literature.
For joy - games with a lot of meaningful text (quests, etc.).

Answer 4

Only books in English in the right area. The problem is only in the vocabulary, and it is replenished only when reading. For example, I read about C # in English.
I answer as a former linguist. Grammar is not important, because knowing a huge vocabulary you can explain using simple verb tenses and a minimum of idioms, prepositions, etc. And spoken English is generally Neanderthal babble, so vocabulary is the only problem.

Answer 5

If you ride the subway, then you buy an e-book, download "technical literature" in the form of a book on the technology that you like and read with a built-in dictionary that translates the word when you hover over it.
Pretty good progress I have for half a year, I think.

Answer 6

If you have at least some very basic knowledge of English, then it’s better to just start reading the relevant tech. literature. Actually, the language itself is extremely simple there, only the set of terms in each area is different, the dictionary will help. There is nothing difficult. But if knowledge in English is initially zero, then I don’t know.

Answer 7

Technical English is a very capacious concept. Even the British do not know all the technical terms of the English language from all planes! In what area do you need "technical"?
