Decades ago when I drove a taxi while I was going to school I needed to learn enough Spanish to be able to respond to Spanish Speaking Driver requests, so I found comic books in Spanish and using a dictionary to help, I read them. The pictures are a huge aid to context ahd make the meaning of some words obvious and they're memory joggers for other words.
I also learned English this way when I was about 4. I read the funny pages in the paper and asked the meaning of words I didn't know. I pestered my family mercilessly but by the time I entered the first grade I'd already read Tarzan novels and Hardy Boys novels that my dad had in the attic.
I agree that Kindle's Word Wise feature is worth looking into but I'd also look into using comics to help you.
