Are you looking to enhance your spoken English by adding new words? As a beginner, you might wonder how to leverage your speaking skills with an expanded vocabulary.
We have a proven approach to help you learn new words effectively. We've seen students successfully maintain a streak to learn new words. But at the end of the day, the question is: Are we using all the words we are learning?
One effective way to learn new words is by finding synonyms for the simple words you already know. Google has a vast collection of vocabulary resources. You can simply search online for the best synonyms. Another traditional method is using a thesaurus and a dictionary. A dictionary provides the perfect explanation for a word, while a thesaurus gives you alternative word suggestions.
A structured and organized study pattern will help you use all the words you are learning.
Have the determination to maintain a streak at your own pace to learn new words.
Now, let's organize our studies:
- Start by finding synonyms for emotions – such as smile, cry, laugh, happy, sad, and angry. There are multiple words to convey specific emotions. For example, if students are laughing quietly on the top bench while the teacher is writing on the board, they are said to be giggling. Another example: if you're extremely angry, you might be described as furious.
- Learn synonyms for action words (verbs). Since every sentence contains a verb, knowing synonyms can make your language more varied and interesting.
- Learn synonyms for adverbs. Adverbs add extra emphasis and nuance to your sentences.
- Finally, focus on words that are most relevant to your environment. For example, learn words related to your profession.
This structured approach to learning new words will help you build a vocabulary that is most relevant and useful to you.
