Let\u2019s jump into the tips to remember vocabulary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learn all the forms of the words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many words in English have more than one use. To avoid confusion, it is best to learn all the uses of a word as much as possible! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, the word \u201cwater\u201d can be both a noun and a verb. You can drink water, and you can also water your plants! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many words like this in English. Make use of them to widen your vocabulary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Words ending in -tion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In English, there are many words ending in -tion. This ending is not exclusive to the English language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, many other languages may have similar words with the same ending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, the word \u201cconstruction\u201d can be seen with little variants in other languages. In Spanish it's \u201cconstrucci\u00f3n.\u201d In Italian, it's \u201cconstruzione.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, the pronunciations are very similar. If you can find a similar word in another language, it might be easier for you to remember the word in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use images<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many students learn faster through images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In many cases, you might not remember a word, but the visual part can help. If this is the case for you, use the google image search when you are learning a new word! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That way, you will have not only the written form but also an image to remember!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learn all the meanings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In some cases, words will have more than one meaning. This tip is similar to the first one and will help you have a larger vocabulary with great ease!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Words like \u201cduck\u201d can have more than one meaning. A duck is a bird, like Donald Duck. \u201cDuck\u201d is also a verb that means to move down to avoid being hit by something. You are basically learning two words in one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like this word, there are many others with the same characteristics! Don\u2019t let yourself be confused by them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learn the meanings and stay on top of your vocabulary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Believe it or not, words can be international! <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many words that are used in many languages almost without changes. They might be adapted to serve the phonetic abilities of a community, but their meaning doesn\u2019t change! <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, the word \u201corganism\u201d can be found in a myriad of languages with no alteration in its meaning! These words can be very easy to remember and can help you boost your English knowledge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you Google, \u201cthe most commonly used words in English,\u201d you will find lots of lists that can help you learn these common words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning the most used words can give you a strong base to continue building your vocabulary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning complete expressions is one of the best ways to improve your English level. In many cases, known words can get together and form unknown expressions with completely different meanings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, there's this expression, \u201cTo say one\u2019s piece.\u201d You might know all these words separately, but you might not know that this phrase means \u201cto give one\u2019s opinion.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many expressions that are better learned together to ensure you understand the actual meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best way to avoid forgetting the vocabulary you have learned is to put it into practice. When you actively use the words and expressions, it is harder for your brain to forget them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an awesome way to keep the new words around until they are completely fixed in your English knowledge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, I know this sounds like a bit of life advice instead of an English learning tip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In languages, false friends are words that are similar to words in your mother tongue or in other languages you speak. Although we have talked about how useful similar words can be, they can also be confusing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, \u201ccarpet\u201d is the floor covering you use in rooms. In Spanish, \u201ccarpeta\u201d is a folder. As you can see, it is very common to confuse these two words. Just like this example, there are many words in many languages that could be false friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be aware of them and don\u2019t get confused!<\/p>\n\n\n\n With these tips, you will be able to remember vocabulary and learn new words faster! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Personally, I think that the best tip overall is to be curious. Curiosity is one of the keys to learning new words and add them to your vocabulary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nativeintonation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/edho-pratama-T6fDN60bMWY-unsplash.jpg\")
