What's the most
effective way to learn vocabulary?
Students always ask this question.
A rich vocabulary will allow you to express your thoughts
and idea precisely. You will be able to say exactly what you mean.
1. Read, read, and
read.
The more you read
-- especially novels, but also magazines and newspapers -- the more words
you'll learn. As you read and uncover new words, try to work out the
meaning from the sentence as well as from looking up the definition in a
dictionary. Write down new words. Your vocabulary will skyrocket!

Library-
Burnaby Library-
Choose a book that
interests you.
Young Adult books –
aimed at younger teenagers
Talk to the librarian.
Magazines- fashion,
travel, science, car, music, food, parenting, etc.
2. Keep a
dictionary and thesaurus handy.
Use whatever
versions you prefer -- in print, software, or online. A good quality dictionary
is one hundred times better than google translate, and electronic ones are
quick! When you uncover a new word, look it up in the dictionary to get both
its pronunciation and its meaning(s). Next, go to the thesaurus and find
similar words and phrases -- and their opposites (synonyms and antonyms).
When I write, I use
a thesaurus.

Your vocabulary
will skyrocket!
3. Build your own
dictionary.
It's a very good
idea to write down the new words you discover. Just by writing them down you
will start to recognise the words when you read. Plus, keeping a dictionary of
all your new words will give you the confidence to learn even more words --
especially when you can see how many new words you've already learnt.
4. Learn a word a
day.
Using a word a day
calendar, a website, or develop your own list of words to learn. This is a
great technique many people use to learn new words. Don't feel
you must learn a new word every day. Some will stick in your brain
and some will slide out.

5. Play some
games.
Word games that
challenge you and help you discover new meanings and new words are a great tool
for expanding your vocabulary. Examples include crossword puzzles, anagrams,
word jumble, Scrabble, and Boggle.

6. Engage in
conversations. Humans talking with humans.
Simply talking with
other people can help you learn discover new words. As with reading, once you
hear a new word, remember to jot it down so that you can study it later -- and
then slowly add the new word to your vocabulary.
