Amazing ideas to improve your Vocabulary.

AMAZING IDEAS TO IMPROVE YOUR VOCABULARY Develop a reading habit • Vocabulary building is easiest when you encounter words in context. Seeing words appear in a novel or a newspaper article can be far more helpful than seeing them appear on vocabulary lists. Source: www.masterclass.com Use the dictionary and thesaurus • Online dictionaries and thesauruses are helpful resources if used properly. They can jog your memory about synonyms that would actually be better words in the context of what you’re writing. Source: www.masterclass.com Play word games • If you really want to be efficient, follow up rounds of the word games with a little note-taking. Keep a list of the different words you learned while playing the game, and then study that list from time to time. Source: www.masterclass.com Use flashcards • A quick way to build a large vocabulary is to study a number of words via flashcards. In today’s digital age, a wide array of smartphone apps make flashcards convenient and easy to organize. Source: www.masterclass.com Use mnemonics • A mnemonic device is a form of word association that helps you remember words’ definitions and proper uses. Source: www.masterclass.com Practice using new words in conversation • It’s possible to amass a huge vocabulary without knowing how to use words. This means you have to take it upon yourself to put your personal dictionary into use. Source: www.masterclass.com Learn Roots • Learn the roots of words. Most words in the English language are built from a common root, prefix, and suffix, usually with an origin in the Greek or Latin language. • Once you learn a root, you’ll begin to understand more words that use the same root. Source: wordcounter.net Look up Words You Don’t Know • How often do you come across words that are unfamiliar as you read? Don’t just gloss over them; take the time to look them up, and if you don’t have the time right then, write them down and look them up later. Source: wordcounter.net Keep a Journal • Journaling won’t just help you develop your writing style, it will also help you improve your vocabulary. Try to use new or interesting words you’ve learned recently into a journal entry for the day or the week. Source: wordcounter.net Make Your Own Vocabulary Tests • Keep a list of the new words you learn each week and incorporate into writing and conversation. At the end of each week, make yourself a quiz using the words to cement them in your memory. Source: wordcounter.net
