One of the most important aspects of improving English is learning vocabulary. But how? Is learning words enough?
How many of you have taped slips of paper with words on them around the house? Very common, isn't it? Altough somewhat productive, It's important to go beyond this point to really internalize and get familiarized with the new words.
Here are some important tips to expand your vocabulary and use it in your daily life.
1. Read books: Make sure they are appropriate to your level.
2. Learn phrases not words: using phrases is more meaningful than just using words.
3. Yes! repeat and memorize words: But make sure to put those words into practice on a regular basis.
4. Tape phrases (not words) around your place: Go ahead and tape phrases around your place and be sure to find moments to put it in a real context.
5. Find and use synonyms: When you speak English make sure you find and use synonyms of the words you frequently use.
