How to improve your vocabulary?
Following are a few methods for expanding your vocabulary with words you will fell comfortable using. Try one or more of these at your convenience. The ones that seem most appealing will probably work best for you.
1.
Make a list of subjects that fascinate you the most. The more you enjoy
a topic, the easier to learn about it. Now go to your local library and
search for a dictionary of words specific to one of these topics. For
example If you like baseball you may find a dictionary of baseball
words. Not every topic will have its own dictionary of relevant words,
but you? Once you have found a dictionary for one of your favorite
topics, thumb through it looking for words that you have never heard or
having found the words you have heard that you don’t know the
meanings of. The sheer joy of having found the words and their meanings
will help the sink into your memory. Since they relate to a favorite
topic, you will likely practice and use them regularly with all the
commitment needed to make them a part of regular conversation.
2.
In different parts of the country people favor different words. Try
picking up or subscribing to a newspaper from another part of the
country. Or enlist a friend or relative from another area to join in on
vocabulary improvement and offer to send them a copy of your heaviest
big city newspaper in exchange for yours. Or go online and read such a
newspaper on line for free.
3. To make learning easier and more
productive, use flash cards in a new and more effective way to master
several words at once. Instead of putting separate words on separate
cards with separate meanings. Pick four words on separate cards with
separate meanings. Pick four words that all have the same or similar
meanings and write them on one side with their meanings clearly
identified on the other. Since you will be learning the same or very
closely related word meanings for four words, you will be learning four
words and one definition with slightly subtle changes. This brings it
all together as one task in which you learn four times as much in about
times,
