The Easiest Way To Improve Your Vocabulary



Do you want to improve on your vocabulary? If so, then you need to do this as soon as possible.

Read books.

Yes, isn't that easy? You can start with books that you are more interested about. In my case, I love to read self help / self improvement books. So what I do is to set aside a time to do a quiet reading.

Quiet reading for me means that I dedicate a day for reading a book. I keep a pace that is manageable, stopping from time to time to write some notes, highlight some texts and underline some words that I cannot understand. Then I use my dictionary or iPad to know the meaning of the word and write a quick note in it if I am holding a physical book. If not, I just write it in a little notebook and save it for future reading.

Then I look for ways to use that word in conversations. I ask for feedback if I am using it right, then I focus on doing it with the next word and so on.

See, it is easy to improve on your vocabulary. Just dedicate a time to read books that interest you. How about doing it next weekend? What's important is that you take the first step as soon as you can.

Online Classrooms vs. Physical Classrooms

Going to school means sleepless nights for learners as they do their assignments and prepare everything they need so they won't be late for class. Everyday commute is one of the tough stuff every student needs to take care of, especially if they don't have a car of their own. If you live in a place where there is high traffic all the time, then you need to prepare all the more. That's for those who go to out to attend traditional schooling. The case is totally different for those who attend online education. You just need to study your lessons, do your assignments and post these on your virtual bulletin board, and take breaks from time to time, without waiting for the bell to ring. You can study in your pajamas, no need to hop in the car and drive long hours. Now that's a different way to go to school isn't it? There's a huge difference when it comes to virtual and traditional education. You just need to pick which one works best for you. Both allows you to ...

On Real Books And Ebooks

I may have been a fan of the traditional book, but I cannot deny the fact that I also love to read books using my Kindle especially when I travel. This offers a lot of convenience on my end because I do not need to carry a full bag of books, I just have to bring my electronic book reader with me when I  go out. :) But when I prefer to stay at home especially during weekends and holidays, I still hold a real book. That enables me to save on electricity costs as well, since I need to charge my Ebook reader so I can use it again as opposed to the traditional book . With the real one, you can just flip the pages and not worry about grabbing the charger next to you. All you need is a well lit place so you can read the contents. What about you? Which would you prefer? A real book or an electronic one?
