Ways to improve your vocabulary

Words are the building blocks of any language. They also predict how educated and professional a person is. The problem is that most people struggle with increasing their vocabulary as they do not learn new words regularly. Moreover, it is not that big a problem to grasp vocabulary, but retaining and recalling one in the right situation surely is. It is very important for all of us to regularly enhance our English vocabulary as it is the most commonly and widely spoken language. In addition to this, the increased demand of the language in every corner of the world makes it an inevitable part of our life.
Here are some tips that can help you enhance your vocabulary and have a great hold over the language.

Read regularly

 Reading helps increase vocabulary by exposing you to new words. You can highlight the words that appear to be new, useful or unfamiliar. You also have the option to read a wide variety of magazines, novels, internet sources, newspapers or anything you find interesting.

Keep a dictionary handy

A dictionary is an indispensable source that helps you improve your vocabulary. Always remember to look up the highlighted words while reading and understand their meaning. You can also use a thesaurus which will help you learn the connection between words and also provides you with synonyms and antonyms of the words.

Make it personal

Human beings have a tendency of not forgetting things that are personal or have an emotional connection with us. So, this can serve as a good base to learn vocabulary too. Connect new words with your personal experiences. This way you will be able to recall the words.

Vocabulary in context

When you pick words in context to anything, it becomes easier for you to understand the actual meaning and usage of them. This even makes it easy for you to remember the newly learnt words. So, learn vocabulary from stories, songs, sentences etc.

Make it fun to learn

Try leaning vocabulary through word games. This way you exchange words with others and vice versa, eventually increasing your vocabulary in an effortless way.

Learning is a never ending process and can be cultivated at any age. So, try these proven ways and enhance your vocabulary.
