In order to successfully learn vocabulary, you will need to understand and use the new word a lot. Using the same strategy each time you learn a new word will help you remember new vocabulary. Follow the steps below while you are learning English and your vocabulary will increase quickly.
● Step 1:
Look at the spelling of the word and listen carefully to how it is pronounced.
● Step 2:
Using an English dictionary, find the meaning of the new word and the part of
speech. Is it a noun? Is it a verb?
● Step 3:
Study how the word is used in context ( inside of a sentence or paragraph).
● Step 4:
Quiz yourself on the word. Use flashcards often.
Can you remember the word’s meaning and how it is spelled? Can you easily
use it in a sentence?
● Step 5:
Review and recycle the new word until you can easily remember it.
