A Guide To Learn English Language

To get a good grip on vocab­u­lary we need to stock of the words that we have read and develop an action plan in order to retain those words in our minds. There are some tips through which we can retain the words better:

mas­ter the vocabulary

• Take a pos­i­tive atti­tude in build­ing your vocab­u­lary: Remem­ber that most of the words that we learned are not used in gen­eral usage and there are a lot of words that we have seen only once and we feel some­what con­fused when we try to recall them. We have to make a bold effort to feel our­selves con­fi­dent and com­fort to the level of using them in gen­eral usage.
• Use a good guide: Using a good guide like a good dic­tio­nary or good the­saurus or a good word list with more infor­ma­tion will make sure that we will not for­get them eas­ily as we form some rela­tion with the topic.
• Remem­ber that we are hav­ing so much choice: when we are writ­ing we can replace most of the words with that of the vocab­u­lary words that we have learnt. Try to think of the words that are sim­ple to make them more accu­rate and more suit­able to the situation.
• Think about the audi­ence skills and knowl­edge: As I men­tioned in the pre­vi­ous posts it is very impor­tant to com­mu­ni­cate on the basis of knowl­edge of the audi­ence. If we want the audi­ence to under­stand what we are try­ing to say they must have some knowl­edge about the sub­ject that we are speak­ing about. So try to use the words that are more under­stand­able to the audi­ence accord­ing to their level.
• Infor­mal and for­mal: Try to use the words that are suit­able to the sit­u­a­tion. We have to use the words that are used for infor­mal com­mu­ni­ca­tion when we are tak­ing or com­mu­ni­cat­ing with the peo­ple we already know and use for­mal words or using euphemism or reduce taboo with the peo­ple who are new to us.
• Avoid jar­gon: if we try to say about vir­tual mem­ory of deep com­puter tech­no­log­i­cal ideas to a per­son who works in a fac­tory, it is of no use and he can’t under­stand any­thing. So try to reduce the usage of the words related to jar­gon when we are com­mu­ni­cat­ing with nor­mal people.
• Learn how to use the words in the sen­tences as much as pos­si­ble so that we can know when to use a par­tic­u­lar word exactly.
• Play word games: play­ing word games will improve our vocab­u­lary very much and will be a very good enter­tain­ment ses­sion. These games bring a good grip of the words.
