Overcome it? The more you do it, the larger you vocabulary becomes and the more words you'll know. Also just write down the words and definitions so you can refer to those notes down the line.

Keep pencil and underline each word to look up afterwards. Keep reading, you get the idea from the context.

Thats another reason not to buy amazon hardware I didnt even know about. I have a kobro clara and I press on word and get definition. I then save these words into the word list and then I can look at all the words I didnt knew before.
