As I was growing up learning to speak and write in English, I could not help to improve my vocabulary. I could not understand why people who did not study English did not know so many words. I would often ask them where did they learn those words. They would not answer me. I could not understand why I could not learn the new words when I did not study English.
This explains why so many people have poor English speaking skills. They do not spend enough time studying vocabulary or writing new words. They do not read books with good vocabulary or listen to tapes with good vocabulary. They just do not spend enough time learning new words. Their vocabulary is probably pretty good but is it good enough to enable them to communicate effectively in many everyday situations.
You may want to improve vocabulary by looking at the dictionary. You can look at the dictionary section to see which entries you may want to look up. However, you also have the choice of using the thesaurus. The thesaurus will list many words that are found in the dictionary but are not actually in the dictionary.
When you look up a word in the dictionary, you have to look at both the literal meaning and the context in which the word is used. If the word is correctly written you will see the obvious meaning. If the word is incorrect, you will have to determine the correct grammar. You will need to know the meaning of many words that are not commonly used. For example the word “man” has two different meanings.
One way to improve vocabulary is to learn new words daily. You can do this by making lists of words you hear everyday such as weather, food, numbers, time, etc. You can then go back and check your lists for these daily occurrences. Many people believe that this is the best way to improve vocabulary since you are constantly learning new words each day and you do not forget them like you would with a textbook.
There are several ways to improve vocabulary and one of these ways is to know the root words of new vocabulary that you are learning. This is also known as grammatical grammar. It is very important to know the root words of new vocabulary that you are trying to learn. This allows you to be able to understand the sentence while it is being said. This will also help you when you are writing the sentences. Learning the root words of your new vocabulary allows you to write the sentences correctly without having to worry about the grammar check.
Another way to improve vocabulary is to use a good grammar and vocabulary memorization program. There are several programs available on the internet today. Some of these programs are free, while others cost a small amount of money. There are even programs that will allow you to download the program to an ipod so you can learn new words anywhere you go. If you prefer to learn words by reading them then you may want to choose a book or short story that you enjoy reading. One word at a time will help you remember the meanings of the roots quickly and will eventually increase your vocabulary word lists.
