[STRIKE]hey[/STRIKE] Hi. I want to improve my vocabulary. [STRIKE]and[/STRIKE] How i can improve it?
Hi, I am also a learner.
Thanks, James for your thorough and wonderful reply!
I have found it very usefull for myself!
Have you got antother tips you might share with us?
Now, it sort of a personal question. James, as far as I concerned you are a native, aren't you? Given that you are thinking like a learner (who is a native!), I made a suggestion that must be hiding from us that you are a teacher.If I am wrong then you 100% should teach!
Thanks, Alex.
Really I always like to read your nice replies, worthy suggestions, comments, and whenever I see your name I believe that this thread is extremely distinguished.:up::up::up:***** NOT A TEACHER *****
Hello.
(1) I am sure that other members join me in welcoming you to usingenglish.com.
(2) It seems that the best way to improve your vocabulary can
be summed up in one word: READ.
(a) Read as much as you can.
(b) Every day you will find words that you do not know.
(c) Make sure you have a good dictionary that gives you not only
the definition but also the etymology of the word. "Etymology"
means how the word was "invented."
(i) "She is wealthy." If you look in your dictionary, you find that
it means something like "rich." Then if you study its etymology,
you discover that it comes from the word "well." This will help
you to remember that word: If you have lots of money, I guess that
you can live very "well."
(d) Keep a list of your favorite words. Use them in your writing.
(e) When you have time, play this game. Choose any word. For example,
choose the word " beautiful." Then see how many times you can find it
in a newspaper or book.
(3) It's wonderful that you want to build up a big vocabulary. It will
help you achieve success in life. Remember that some words are to be
used in speech and some words are usually restricted to writing.
GOOD LUCK
James
