How to make your Vocabulary Better

How to make your Vocabulary Better

One powerful method that you can use to make your vocabulary better is to build your own dictionary. While regular dictionaries can helpful, their biggest disadvantage is their sheer size. There are too many words to learn, and you are limited in terms of the time you have.

It is better to build a dictionary of words you come across as you read. If the word interests you, write it down, and when you’re done reading, look it up in a dictionary, and list it in your notebook. You may also want to write a sentence that shows how the word should be used. If you do this each time you come across an unfamiliar word when you read, your vocabulary will become massive.

As you collect words and place them in your personalized dictionary, you will want to go over them often. You will want to make it your goal to use them at least once a day when you speak, or when you write a paper. The more you use the word, the more likely it is that you will remember it. Just placing the word in your dictionary is not enough. It must be applied in you every day speech. Building your own dictionary is very powerful, because over time, you will have a collection of words that are suited to you. A number of studies have shown that a word must be used at least 10 times before it is embedded in a person’s brain.

The Importance of using Flashcards

You have no doubt heard about the importance of using flashcards. Flashcards have always been a popular method to help people remember important information. This is especially true when you want to increase you vocabulary level. You can use these flashcards by writing the word and the sentence on the front, and on the back of the card, you will want to write the definition of the word, along with a sentence that puts the word in the proper context. Every so often, you will want to test yourself by reading the back to determine the information on the front, and vice versa. It is also important for you to use your senses when learning a new word.

Instead of just saying the word, you will want to hear the word, see the word, and write it down. When you use more than once sense, you will increase the chances that the word will be permanently placed into your memory. It will also be crucial for you to make sure these words are used when you talk to people, and when you need to write something. By using the word for various tasks, you will become more proficient with it. While this may seem like a lot of work, in the end, it will pay off. Having a strong vocabulary can be very profitable.

Conclusion

When you increase your vocabulary, you will impress people. Depending on who you impress, a number of doors can open, doors that would be closed to someone who uses a normal vocabulary level. People will see you as being someone with intelligence, and it will be obvious that you are also a person that is well informed.
