Vocabulary


There are a plethora of courses offered on the net that boast about enhancing your vocabulary. They claim to quadruple your vocabulary in a month or sometimes even days. I understand these claims. The people who conduct them have to run their kitchens.

If you desire to have a vigorous vocabulary, start  following the profitable pointers below:
  1. Never be indifferent to a new word. Try extracting the meaning by reading the context deeply and google the meanings in a variety of dictionaries. The dictionaries are a click away.
  2. Reading and Listening help a lot only when you do them regularly not casually
  3. Try to associate the word with a person you like or hate deeply or to an event. The more a word catches your attention, the better are the chances for its retention. People with terrible memories never forget the word “fuck’ or “breasts”.
  4. Make a habit of putting a word in a sentence structure. The worth of a word is  in a sentence.
  5. Lastly, large vocabularies are not mastered in a day or two. They require persistent efforts. The efforts become effortless if you have a passion for words.
The above mentioned strategies are not difficult. The only difficulty is persistence.
