If you naturally love words, tugging a dictionary along with you all the time would be helpful. Any word you encounter that doesn't register in your memory you can easily find-out. Electronic dictionaries come in handy for such occassions: Read.Read.Read. Then check. check. check. the dictionary.\n\nI read from one study that it takes repetition before we can memorize the new words we meet. My point is, just don't get tired of relearning words even though you have studied them before; its part of the learning process. \n\nWriting letters to friends or answering short forums like this also help you use the new vocabulary you learned.\n\nLearning takes up a long time. But learning a two or three words everyday on a consistent basis is every effective.

You sound like you are doing just fine for someone who's been here for only 5 months.\nCongrats on that!\n1-Buy your favorite English CD. Pop it in the player. get the little booklet out and read, and sing along as it plays.\nyou can really hear yourself speak, and you realize if you are saying the word correctly.\nalso, you get used to understanding words spoken at a faster rate.\n2-wach tv. something that wont use too many medical terms, or law terms. stick with "every day" shows. like friends, or sienfield, or watch movies with a story line.\nif you watch shows with a lot of terminology you will be too cought up on trying to figure out what is going on. stick to simple and then move on.\ngood luck.

First of all, read in English a lot.So that u will come to know various words & their uses. Try to figure out the meaning of new words from the sentence itself otherwise if u r finding it difficult, then look them up in the dictionary.That is about knowing more words.Once u know then start revising like u recall one word then try to recall the synonyms & antonyms of that word,Then after recalling all try to use these words by writing sentences.\nthis is the best way to revise.

One way? Unless you're cramming for the SATs like I am, a good way is to memorize 1-? words per day based on your abilities. I prefer 3-4 cause its simple and easy. Plan your words the night before, next morning, recite them. And do so throughout the day randomly. And at night, review.\nIt sounds long but each step litterally takes less than 4 minutes.

The 2 things that will help you more than anything are reading and a daily word program (selecting a new word at random from the dictionary every day, learning its definition and using it whenever possible; a word-a-day calendar). Additionally, you can Use Merriam-Webster's on-line dictionary http://m-w.com to select any word in their database and click on the audio link to hear the proper pronunciation for the word. Practicing these methods can vastly increase your vocab skills.\n\nOther than these practices, there are websites devoted to teaching you new words and their meanings (do a Yahoo! search using terms such as "vocabulary quizzes", "vocabulary builder" or "vocabulary or English tutoring").\n\nI have excellent grammar skills myself and may be able to help you in my spare time if all else fails.

write them down, say it to yourself while you're writing it down, then repeat it out loud after you're written it down, and be aware that you're trying to remember.  \n\npracticing memory skills can definatley lengthen your short term memory.

Try the series called Vocabulary for Achievement from Great Source Books. It has six levels of difficulty and is aimed at words often used on standardized tests. \n\nThe reading is something that you must simply practice doing. You could try timing yourself as a method to improve speed. Usually in standardized tests passages are about 200-750 words in length. So give yourself some passages that long and try scanning them as quickly as possible. I find many students improve their speed if they read the questions first, then they know what they are looking for. \n\nHesitation in speaking is usually based on feeling like you are going to make a mistake and embarrass yourself in public. The only thing you can do is practice speaking. Don't worry about making mistakes -- everyone does, even native speakers. However, I find that my Turkish and Spanish both get easier to communicate in after two or three glasses of wine... Give it a try!
