You learn common words in your native language by hearing them in context. Eventually the meaning becomes clear. It is only the words that appear infrequently that one has to look up. As you read in English, the meaning of words that appear frequently will gradually become obvious.
I am a native English speaker who reads (but cannot really speak) French. I still remember reading The Three Musketeers in French, many years ago. I started out by looking up the words I didn't know, but that slowed me down too much. I discovered that I could figure out what was happening even if I didn't know all the words. So I abandoned the dictionary and just READ. About halfway through the big book, I figured out my first French word from context. Feutre. The large felt hat that the musketeers wore. WOW! That was such a thrill.
If you keep reading in English, you will learn words the way you learned words in Turkish.
