SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING VOCABULARY

Read. The more you read, the more words you will come in contact with. Use new found vocabulary in your everyday communication (writing, speaking). Become familiar with the glossary of your textbooks. Become familiar with the dictionary. Understand the pronunciation keys as well as why there are multiple meanings for words. Try to learn five new words a day. If you know these words - use them in your communication process. Without using these new words, it is a waste of your time.
