How do I improve my vocabulary ?
468450
As an aspiring writer, this is what I do:\n\nA)I keep a pad of paper next to me while I'm reading a book and write down all the words I don't know, I'm unsure of, or I don't use enough. Then, afterwards I look them up. You can also practice using them in a sentence if you have time.\n\nB)I receive Dictionary.com's word of the day in my email. I read each one, delete ones I'm sure I won't use later, save the ones I will, and flag really good ones for later reference.\n\nI tried using programs that are supposedly made to increase your vocab; however, I found the words ridiculously easy - stuff I would have used in middle school or high school.

Pay attention to the things you do when trying to learn and remember new words or names. Do you repeat them or write them down? Everyone's memory works differently. If you realize that you remember better words that you've seen written down, expand your capacity by making use of other visual methods, like linking words with pictures or making a "video" in your mind of new phrases. Try crosswords, too.

To offer some background, I really suck at talking. I can not formulate the correct words in my head before I say them. That means that I can't always say what I mean, and mean what I say. Bad combo. I'd like to think that I'm good at writing though. I collected a lot of what I know from reading difficult to understand books like Hamlet or other Victorian age books. Learning different lingos will boost the vocabulary and aid in the ability to select better speech or words. Hope I've not talked your ear off about something that didn't help!

if you mean improve your English language...that's a good question\n\nwhat i usually tell my friends who struggle with their English (like i do lots of times)...are the following:\n\n1. watch as much English movies and TV shows as you can...\n2. learn an English song, at least one or two would be good\n3. keep a journal where you write all your thoughts...it's amazing at how evolved will be your use of written English as time goes by\n4. find new English-speaking friends online (pen pals are good too) and email regularly\n5. travel to English speaking countries if you can or make friends with lots of English speaking people\n6. read lots of English books\n7. find an excellent English tutor/teacher \n\ngood luck!

There is no trick, u just have to have a pretty good vocabulary. Then, say the sentence in your mind and figure out how the 2 r related

Put terms and definitions on seperate pieces of paper or seperate columns and practice matching them.  Or cover up the definitions and try to define the terms from memory.  This helped me memorize vocabulary for high school Spanish.

for me to remember vocabulary words, i try to write down the words many times (so i could also remember the spelling) then put down the definition. from the definitions i try to make sentences. i patch the words with some of their synonyms to make them easier to understand. \n\nyou have to use those words when you want to remember them. it's always better that way. use them in essays, letters, etc. when i teach vocabulary words, the kids retain the words when i instruct them to use those words in their assignments.

First- start talking to people who are speaking the language you want to learn better.\n\nSecond- Listen to the radio, talk radio, this will help in learning usage of words. Live music concerts and lectures are great to go to also.\n\nThird- You can also have a pen pal or two. Online or via mail.\n\nFourth- Get some books on tape, listen to some each day.\n\nFive- vocabulary is something we work on improving for a lifetime, but you can get a good Dictionary and a good Thesaurus, these will help a lot. Refer to these whenever you see a word you do not understand or know how to use. I have these on hand myself all the time.\n\nSix- Written communication is good to work on right along with verbal skills. Listen, speak and write it down on paper.

If you mean improve it with proper english, read quality material. Pretty much, all books are written with proper english and after reading a few, your grammar will automatically start to improve.\n If you mean improve with a more extensive vocabulary, the \nsame as above will help and also browse the dictionary. You\nwill be shocked how much fun learning a few new words everyday will be.

Buy a dictionary... ^_^... Well...I'm not completely kidding, though. The more you practice to write and the more you check out the words that you're not sure of how to spell from the dictionary, the more you'll learn & the better you'll do in spelling.\n\nActually there are also "Internet Dictionaries" that help check your spelling (and even translate other country's words into English provided that English is not your first language). \n\nIn addition, of course, reading (books, magazines, etc.) also helps. The more you read and the more you check out a word's meaning that you don't know from a dictionary, the better it helps to establish a correct spelling of a word in your mind. \n \nI used to write down a new English word in a notebook with its meaning in my mother tongue (as well as in English) when I read a book during childhood. Everyday I reviewed the words I had written down and the words you learnt with their correct spelling naturally build up in your mind each day. The key concepts are "Don't give up" and "Keep learning & practising".

The best way to improve is to practice.  I second the person who said to join Toastmasters (www.toastmasters.org).  I was in it for six years and it helped me immensely.  I miss it.\n\nWhen I was in grad school I put together a silly little site with some specific tips.  They are the same things I would tell you here, so you may want to take a look at it.  I promise it will not try to sell you anything, except for the normal Lycos ads.\n\nThe address is: http://stevefournier01.tripod.com/tips/tips-index.html\n\ngood luck.

increase your vocabulary (but don't become sesquipedalian in your writing), read works of others, PRACTICE writing..a lot. After you've written many pieces and edited them, you'll improve.

Friend,\nThe best way to learn any language  is to communicate that languange with other people ( who knows that langunage better then you) as much as you can after getting the  necessary/basic knowledge for the same. And expend your vocabulary quota means learn a few new words with thier correct meanings and uses on regular basis.\nGOOD LUCK.

Borrow vocabulary building CDs from the library.  Read vocabulary building books.  Make an effort to use those new words every day.

Get into the habit of reading books loud, this will help you increase the pronunciation and vocabulary skill.\nPractice in front of mirror, \nJust put your mind at ease, your main aim is communication, so try to say what you are thinking.\nUse short sentences, simple words and good pauses. \nYou will do fine
