In order to successfully learn vocabulary, you will need to understand and use the new word a lot. Using the same strategy each time you learn a new word will help you remember new vocabulary. Follow the steps below while you are learning English and your vocabulary will increase quickly.
- Step 1: Look at the spelling of the word and listen carefully to how it is pronounced.
- Step 2: Using an English dictionary, find the meaning of the new word and the part of speech. Is it a noun? Is it a verb?
- Step 3: Study how the word is used in context ( inside of a sentence or paragraph).
- Step 4: Quiz yourself on the word. Use flashcards often. Can you remember the word’s meaning and how it is spelled? Can you easily use it in a sentence?
- Step 5: Review and recycle the new word until you can easily remember it.
