Effective Ways To Enhance Your Vocabulary

Written by Rikza

Vocabulary is a matter of word-building as well as word use.

  ” The more words you know the more clearly and powerfully you will think because you know how to use them properly and the more ideas will come into your mind”. Learning vocabulary is the same as opening doors to a new world and making learning more fun and satisfying, but expanding the range of words you know is like a diet. You have to put in some effort and there’s neither a magic trick nor a secret that you just click and get everything that you want.

      You can’t enhance and build up a vocabulary if you meet any new words & to meet them you must read. The more you read the better your vocabulary will be. The more you ask your mind, the better you’ll be able to express yourself. So just brush up on your diction and focus to improve your vocabulary.

Learning how to assemble a better vocabulary can be a blissful and beneficial outlay of your time, effort, and whack. There’s always plenty to learn, so invest your time and energy in learning as much as you can. Try to convert whatever is going on in your mind into English. No less than fifteen minutes a day on a concentrated study on daily basis can lead to rapid and hasty improvement in your vocabulary.

Remove the word “stress “from your vocabulary. Take it as a game, be n active learners rather than passive. Be sure to taste your words before you spit them out. Don’t ever feel ready to give up, just give it a try and try to learn something additional. One of the foremost methods to learn vocabulary is that you would use it in a conversation by actually having conversations (tete-a-tete) with other people.

Be realistic about your  English learning goals and try to learn more in different ways. Our brains all work in different ways which means we all learn differently, forget one-size-fits-all. Learn according to your limit and the way you better learn. Do not expect your English to be as good as that of a native speaker right after taking up the language, be patient because it takes time to be a master of that language. Some of us are predominantly visual neophytes, so they have to see the word drafted down to commemorate it. Other’s are frisky, their hands and fuselage need to write it, do it and pick it to remember.

The felicitous ones are auditory learners. They have got it easy when it comes to commemorating language. All they have to do is catch the word to stronghold it to their memory. There are about 171,476 words in the English language but any one person uses only around about 10,000 to 35,000 of them, which still seems like a pretty big number. It is however feasible to learn this number of words. The paramount and most important thing to know is that it sticks around time. It won’t cook or betide overnight but it’ll happen.

well! we have brainstorming tips that help  you to have a proper grip on the English language

ways to improve and memorize new vocabulary

Sweeten up your vocab by using 10 mirthful and Effective Ways to Learn English Vocabulary

1:Use to memorize words by using different techniques

The best way to memorize vocabulary is the use of nostalgic mnemonics, which are psychogenic shortcuts that help to memorize more multiplex concepts or words. we marque some pictures of that word or something related to that word in our mind and when that word is read or spoken in front of us we immediately remember the exact word.

  • Always make a sequence of scenes, never just a signal one, let alone just a soundless, unbudging image; so even if a student let slips the parts of a mnemonic anecdote, at least a couple of “triggers” will stick for good and all & even one may prove to be ample in real life.
  • Whatever the student imagines must be dramatically non-identical from anything we see in prosaic life, otherwise, the post-factum trammel will most likely cause it to be forgotten.
  • Stimulate all five senses (Hearing, Touch, Sight, Smell, Taste).
  • No matter how effective a mnemonic device is, without iteration, the effects will ultimately dissipate. So try to repeat again and again as much as you can.

2:Learn from what you hear and see

Movies, TV shows, books, podcasts, songs, or other websites and digital apps are not only a great source for the most common words, but they can also help you memorize the vocabulary that you never memorize by reading. So this is another fun way to improve your comprehension.

Try to read books or watch movies & other creative videos in the original language ( with subtitles) and try to draw up the actual meaning of the word which helps you a lot to enhance your vocabulary and it will make you sensitive to how words are formed, and this can often be helpful to figure out a word’s meaning from its context.  If you see or hear any phrase that you don’t figure out, shoot it down, peek it up, and start to memorize it.

3:Give a boost up to your inner artist

“Let your inner artist come out and play.” Our creativity is the essence of who we are, so try to give birth to the dancing star that resides in you. Take vocabulary as a game.

Create a list of all vocabulary words that you want to use, develop a vocabulary quiz that tests your ability to find out words, evaluate definitions, synonyms, word jumble, scrabble, boggle, and antonyms to develop crossword puzzles.

4:Use your language style

This could be fun. There are some words in your target dialect, crushingly that sound like ones in your natal language. Do your best to equate them with one another in your mind. Call up the associated words in your natal language and you’ll find yourself remembering the new words. This is the funkiest way to practice your vocabulary.

5:Avoid words “overload”

In general, our brain can’t take too much new information at a time, so don’t go crazy and try to cram 40 words a day. Start to learn  5 words a day and then gradually take it to 10 words per day.

But this isn’t enough, don’t forget that you have to practice and review old vocabulary words that slink through the cracks of your evocation, so you’ll be busy as it is without piling on more circadian words and probably have established a lifetime habit of learning and self-improvement. Repetition will help everything to sink into your brain.

6:Try to read 

“The more that you read the more things you will know, the more that you learn the more places you’ll go! ” When you have become more cognizant of words, reading is the next important step to hike up your knowledge of words cuz that is how you’ll find most of the words you should be learning. It is also the best way to look over what you have picked up. When you hit over a word, that you have recently studied, and you understand it, which pan-out that you have learned its meaning.

In general people with very low jargon don’t enjoy reading at all. It’s more of a chore for them than a glee because they don’t understand many of the words. If this is the way you feel about reading, then make an effort to read easier words. Read the newspapers rather than magazines because they are easy to read and try to find things to read you can enjoy, so that’s how learning new words is always in mind.

7:Use a dictionary  to enhance your vocabulary  

Keep a dictionary and thesaurus handy ..use whatever versions you prefer -in print, software, or online. When you divulge a new word, look it up in the wordbook to get both its pronunciation and denotation, and go to the thesaurus and find similar words and phrases & their opposites. Shot to build your lexicon. it’s a  fantastic idea to note down the new words you discover. keeping a dictionary of all your new words will give you the credence to learn even more words.

8:Give it a try to learn something exciting

Try different ways to learn and find out the right tools to enhance your vocabulary. The more you make your encounter with the words the better your vocabulary is. You can appreciate and reward yourself every time you used a certain word in a real-life conversation that you have mastered, so your brain will remember the kinds of words, situations, and collocations associated with that word for the next time.

9:Test what you learn

Another way to learn vocabulary is by testing yourself that what you learn and what is remained to learn. You can do this by making lists with the words in English in one column down the left side of the sheet and a translation in a column down the right side of the page.

When you are ready to test yourself, cover the English words and try to remember them using the translation as a guide. You can also find ready-made lists online. Try to be systematic about studying, so that you are sure to review each word at least once every couple of weeks.

10:Motivate yourself or give a boost up

                         ” Your only Limit is your Mind

Today is your opportunity to build the tomorrow you want. The most important strand in successful vocabulary building is “Motivation”. We know we can bolster our vocabulary as fast as we wish to do. we started our life knowing no words, and now we know thousands so don’t stop yourself to learn. There’s always a door open for the new things that you need to learn.

No matter which approaches you to choose, be sure to get into some kind of rhythm, practice makes perfect after all so do the practice. Listen, draw, see, write, act out and speak new words again and again until you’re used to them and they’ll be committed to your memory for a damn good long time, if not forever.

 

We can learn many more just a little motivation is needed, so why not start today?
