There are some tips to improve vocabulary:
- Learn a few words a day.
Take a list of 15 words every day. That’s enough for a start. Say all the words loudly, clearly, and with different intonations twice in the morning and the evening. Depending on your memory, you can spend two or three days on one list.
- Read aloud
You should always read aloud. Pronouncing a word will be easier for you to remember not only how it looks, but also how it is pronounced. In addition, you will have a much better chance that you will be able to use the word in speech and improve your vocabulary skills.
But before you learn a word, check its pronunciation. If you immediately remember its pronunciation incorrectly, you are unlikely to retrain.
- Use household items
Any household items in the house can become your assistants. You can stick stickers with words on them. Some people think that it is ineffective or suitable only for learning banal vocabulary, but it is not. It is important not only to stick papers but also not to forget to work with them. Otherwise, after a week you will stop noticing them, and the words will not be remembered.
- Special literature
In English, it is called the Vocabulary Resource Pack. Pay attention: these are NOT textbooks. There are many authors and publishers, but the structure of such manuals is about the same. Each has one level of difficulty; the words are collected by topic. After the explanations, several exercises for using and memorizing await you.
- Constantly use new words in speech
The best thing is to find someone to talk to. The network is full of resources that are created for such mutual pumping of conversational skills. If you are embarrassed to talk to unfamiliar speakers, agree with a friend. 5 minutes of each conversation should be in English.
- It is necessary to learn new vocabulary and words without taking them out of context
One word in English can have many translation options that are not related to each other in any way.
Therefore, all methodologies recommend memorizing the entire phrase, and sometimes sentences. By no means a specific word, since you can get into an awkward situation by using the wrong word.
