Title: Improving vocabulary?
Post by: solid9 on August 30, 2016, 04:40:59 PM

@Joe

I don't know where to ask this question.

How did you improve your vocabulary?
What tips and tricks did you do?
Or tools you can suggest?

Load a digital copy of a good English-language dictionary on your desktop or mobile device, then religiously pursue a no-nonsense reading regimen for English-language books (both fiction and nonfiction) and periodicals as well as a supplementary viewing and listening regimen for English-language TV and video shows and audio books. Check with your dictionary the meanings and usage of every unfamiliar word, idiom, and figure of speech that you encounter. Never skip this procedure nor postpone doing it for later. If you follow these regimens without fail, you could triple or quadruple your vocabulary every six months and bring it to a respectable level in five years or so. Start right now.
