Vocabulary is very important part for various competitive exams. The more words you learn, the better your grasp of the English language will be.
For vocabulary, many people suggest books by good writers from home and abroad but the best way to learn words is never to memorize from a book.
Below are some good ways to learn vocabulary.
1. Read, read and read
This is the first step in learning many more words. Most vocabulary is best learned from context. The more words you read, the more words will accumulate in your learning stack.So when you read, try to understand the words from the context. Try to understand what I mean without consulting the dictionary beforehand.
For this, read more and more challenging study material. Read from such sources that you get many unknown words.
2. Try to understand the context of the word
Try to stay focused while reading and note the unknown words well. See multiple uses of each word on Google. This will increase your understanding.3. Practice, practice and practice
No matter how hard you try to memorize words, you will forget most words very quickly.Because researches showed, to remember a word permanently, you need to hear or read that word at least 10-20 times from different sources.
So when you see a word that does not want to be memorized, then try to make a few sentences with that word. By doing this, that word will enter your head.
4. Try to match the words with your surroundings
Read the words aloud and try to match them with your familiar surroundings.For example: Impeccable. I don't have the process to remember this word
Prophet Sulaiman was an impeccable ruler.
Prophet Sulaiman is being talked about here and about which we all know very well. So that means here the word is being used in a positive context.
Now let's try to guess. Adjectives that can accompany a ruler like Prophet Sulaiman are very good, excellent, perfect, just, etc.
5. Try to imagine the words
Visualizing words is another way to remember words.For example: get a sentence,
GARGANTUAN – means something huge.
To remember this, create a sentence by imagining a large structure around you.
For example: The Burj Khalifa is GARGANTUAN.
Again suppose that your friend has a very pleasant character.
So you can say, Khalid is a Jovial person.
Jovial means cheerful.
6. Make learning vocabulary a hobby
Any boring job can turn into a very fun job if you can convert that job into your hobby.While learning vocabulary, if you can think that you are doing something very interesting, learning something new, then you will see that the work has turned into a very enjoyable work.
By doing this, the pain of learning vocab will be reduced to a large extent.
7. Play vocabulary based games
Many vocabulary based games such as Cross word puzzle, Scrabble, Boggle are available on both Android or iOS operating systems.Many new words can be learned if you play these games constantly.
