When trying to expand one's vocabulary is it best to study words with similar meaning or unrelated words?

Neither.\nWhen I was trying to learn new words, I would read a hard book and copy all the words I didn't know. Then I would look them up in a dictionary and write down their definitions.  Maybe even the sentence they were in to help me remember where I got it from.  I would also study word roots, and prefixes and suffixes, so you go from knowing one word to anything that looks like it.  Flashcards help too.  Maybe color code them into verbs, nouns, adverbs, and so on.

READ!!! The higher the level, the more words you will learn. If you love reading, then the vocab you read from the book will slowly being to creep into your daily vocab use. \nLearning another language also helps you understand larger words in English, plus it's a great benefit to you in general. \nUse flashcards, or go online and search difficult words online. : )

Associate each word with a "root word" on the meaning of the word. Then go through the whole list and see if you can associate each term with the "root word" you chose. Then associate the "root word" with the rest of the meaning.\n\nFor example:\nIrony - The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning. \n\nI will choose the word "opposite" from the meaning, since it is the word that mostly characterize the word "irony"\n\nHence, I will study: "Irony - Opposite"\n\nThen, once I am good at associating each of the words I need to study, I add the rest of the meaning. Mostly, if you remember the associated word, it will give you hints on the rest of the meaning.

Dictionary.com does, but I think it only does for some words and you sometimes have to scroll through a few definitions.

1) Do crossword puzzles.\n2) Do word finds.\n3) Make flash cards with the word on one side and definition on the other.\n4) Study with a partner.\n5) Find a creative way to use the word in everyday conversation.\n6) Look up the word in a thesaurus and see what the "flavor" of the word is -- is it mild, medium, or strong?  Compare and contrast other words like it.  \n7) Take a bunch of index cards and write your vocabulary word on it, plus others of the same family or flavor.  Categorize your word in different ways: strength, weakness, order, priority, favorite, alphabetical, etc.\n8) Create and design your own puzzles.  There is software out there for about $10 that lets you create different kinds of puzzles.\n9) Learn the etymology or word history of your word.  See which language it comes from and how old or new it is.\n10) Link vocabulary words together to make a story.\n\nHope this helps.  Cheers, K (teacher of 13 years)

Maybe you could write each word down on a flashcard and put the definition on the other side and a synonym along with it just to make sure you know what it means. Review the flashcards and try to use the words in your regular, everyday speech once in a while.

It is funny to learn other people do this too. Family and friends have sort of made fun of me for it, but I have my reasons. First, I did it for a spelling bee and then second I wanted to expand my vocabulary. I love to read and it is quite difficult to read when you are younger and don't have a large vocabulary. The way to understand what I read was by looking up all the words I didn't understand and then writing down the definition and using it in context for other things. So, if you have studied either version (I have used both as well as in other languages) don't feel weird or nerdy, I have too.

It means who dont have the correct approach toeards studying. You need to be more careful and attendive when you read a sentance or a problem.. Remember each and every bookis written by an author who was jus like u in his childhood. Where did he gain all his intelligence and knowledge. Every result has come with experimentation. We are learning the world and objects to enhance our knowledge on them . All the concepts and results and facts are jus been confirmed only with experimentation .Your work in studying really depends on your memory and your way of approach.
