Having spent sometime on late Maulana Abdul Kareem Pareekh Sahab (RA)'s dictionary and little bit of time with Hyderabad Model of meaning of Qur'an I have been trying to get something out of the Imam's recitation in Taraweeh.

This is very beneficial activity. It completely shuts you off from the world. Even if you understand only one word like ulaaa-ika then you are hooked and you wonder as to whom is Allah (SWT) is talking about. It is immediately rewarding activity. For example, when the Imam yesterday came to the words that mean This is a letter that starts with Bismillahirrahmanirraheem
a bulb went on immediately in my mind that we are in the middle of Surah Namal!

I very much agree. Same goes on in my head during taraweeh. May I suggest another activity that can benefit those who pray taraweeh? Read the Arabic and the English translation of the surahs that the Imam will recite the night before the prayer. It helps because during the prayer you'll remember different parts of the surahs, in English and in Arabic.
