Some Useful Tips for Learning New Words
It is important to increase your vocabulary in English. Every day you should learn 10 new words.
Vocabulary means not only different words but also different forms of these words - the Adjective, Noun, Verb and Adverb forms.
It is also a good idea to try to increase the words you know in particular topic areas so that you can discuss a range of topics. Organisation of vocabulary is important too.When learning new vocabulary a student of English needs to be aware of the several aspects of Vocabulary.
Vocabulary consists of:
1. Word Forms - the Adjective, Noun, Verb and Adverb forms. Words change their form depending on their function in a sentence.
2. Pronunciation/Stress - in a word with several syllables, which syllable carries the main stress? Stress conveys meaning.
3. Register - some words are more formal and more appropriate than others. One must choose the most appropriate word for the context.
4. Word choice - synonyms (words with similar meaning), opposites, paraphrase (describing something using a few words). Use a variety of vocabulary choices.
5. Organisation - organise your word lists meaningfully; and develop strategies for remembering new words. This will help you consolidate and extend your vocabulary.
