There is a short true story narrated by a scholar... I forgot who he was though...
They went to a village somewhere in Khyberpakhtoonkhwah and somebody told them that there was an an old farmer... jis ki grave say khushboo atee hai... they went to his home and ask his wife what he used to do... she said ... he did nt know how to read Quran... but he used to sit every morning... with the Quran and placed his fingers on the words and kept saying ... this is also true... this is also true... this is also true... every day....
This was the only thing he did....
Though I would advocate everybody to read and understand the Quran by learning Arabic... There are numerous sources available..

And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? (Qur'aan)
There is no doubt that reading Quraan even without understanding is Barkat. But be careful! there are some Fake Peer, Walis etc., who do not want their mureed to read Quraan with understading as they are afraid that their mureed will know the truth. Our emphasis should be on reading Quraan with understanding, Allah says in Quraan:
Translation by Yusuf Ali:
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
Translation by Shakir:
And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
Translation by Pickthal:
And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth?
Translation by Mohsin Khan:
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember; then is there any one who will remember (or receive admonition)?
The Quran is easy to understand and remember – contrary to what we have learned all our lives that we need an ‘Alim’ or ‘Tafsir’ to help us learn the Quran.
The Quran was created by Allah ,our Creator and Sustainer. It was then revealed to our beloved Prophet Mohammad (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) for the entire human race. The target readers of this book are human beings of different mental levels. This fact itself is the greatest miracle of Quran. Any other book of human creation has a specific target reader. For example a science textbook for a primary class student will be written in such a way that primary students easily understand it. In the same way a book on anatomy for a student of medicine will be meaningful for a medical student. Each book is written at a different level. On the contrary Allah has created Quran: as “ A Book for All”. It would be wrong to say that , “It contains something for everybody ,” rather “It contains everything for everybody.”
The basic requirement of the reader of Quran is that its contents be understood. It is our basic duty to study it and understand it. Ignorance of Arabic language should not be a barrier for us. Quran is a book that has been studied and researched the most. There are many beautiful translations available in English and other languages. We should earnestly try to read these translations. Everybody and anybody can “read” the Quran. By “read” is implied that we read it in a language we are comfortable in. It is because the main aim should be to understand the meaning.
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
Those to whom We have sent the Book study it as it should be studied: They are the ones that believe therein: Those who reject faith therein,- the loss is their own.
Do they not then earnestly seek to understand the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up by them?
So have We made the (Qur'an) easy in thine own tongue, that with it thou mayest give Glad Tidings to the righteous, and warnings to people given to contention.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ

Qur’aan; 54:17
اور البتہ ہم نے تو سمجھنے کے لیے قرآن کو آسان کر دیا پھر کوئی ہے کہ سمجھے
الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَتْلُونَهُ حَقَّ تِلَاوَتِهِ أُولَـٰئِكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ ۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ
Those to whom We have sent the Book study it as it should be studied: They are the ones that believe therein: Those who reject faith therein,- the loss is their own.
Qur’aan; 2:121
وہ لوگ جنہیں ہم نے کتاب دی ہے وہ اسے پڑھتے ہیں جیسا اس کے پڑھنے کا حق ہے وہی لوگ اس پر ایمان لاتے ہیں جور اس سے انکار کرتے ہیں وہی نقصان اٹھانے والے ہیں
أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا
Do they not then earnestly seek to understand the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up by them?
Qur’aan; 47:24
پھر کیوں قرآن پر غور نہیں کرتے کیا ان کے دلوں پر قفل پڑے ہوئے ہیں
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا
So have We made the (Qur'an) easy in thine own tongue, that with it thou mayest give Glad Tidings to the righteous, and warnings to people given to contention.
Qur’aan; 19:97
:
سو ہم نے فرمان کو تیری زبان میں اس لیےآسان کیا ہے کہ تو اس سے پرہیز گاروں کو خوشخبری سنا دے اور جھگڑنے والوں کو ڈرا دے
