The hard thing about learning English in general and vocabulary in specific is that it cannot be learned by memorizing the dictionary. Neither can it be easily learned just by watching English movies or reading newspapers in the English language.
The biggest challenge faced by any aspirant who wants to learn to speak in English is that once he memorizes few words of English he doesn’t know what to do with it. He doesn’t have an environment where he can use those words, the people around him speak in his native language, this makes his mind forget whatever new words he had taken the pain to learn.
Nobody can learn to speak any language in isolation from his home without interacting with people in the language he is trying to pick up. Being able to read in a language is not the same as being able to have a good conversation, or being able to communicate in that language.
If you are an aspirant learning to speak English, the ideas mentioned in this blog will reveal to you a new and effective way to develop your vocabulary and pick up the language at an accelerated pace.
More than developing your vocabulary or learning to speak in English, what you will need to practice is learning to be a part of a group or a community that converses in English.
So read the blog till the end and walk a new path to learn English vocabulary or any language that you desire to learn.
Develop English Vocabulary One of the Fastest Ways Possible to Be Always Ahead in Today's World
There are maybe millions of words in English and it is not possible for one to use all the words available in the English Vocabulary. So if you want to learn to develop your English vocabulary, this is what you need to do:
Firstly you need to pick an activity that you can get involved in.
Secondly, you need to find an individual or a group involved in that activity and most importantly talks in English.
Once you become a part of the group and start working on that activity with the group, you will be revealed the words used to express the things that you do in that activity. This way you will acquire a large number of words without much effort.
Let us take an example to see if we can actually develop some good vocabulary by indulging in an activity. Let’s pick up cooking as an activity.
We can start the activity of cooking by buying groceries and fresh vegetables. While you go shopping with your group members, you can pick up new phrases and words like - It costs a fortune, it’s a steal, bargain, good deal, and many more such similar words.
If something is very expensive you can say - This thing costs a fortune.
If you get a good offer you can say - It's a steal or It's a good bargain or I got a good deal on fresh vegetables.
As you start cooking in the kitchen you will get exposed to words like - Slice, Dash, Saute, Deep fry, Pan fry, broil - and the list of words can go on and on.
You will not only come to know the meaning of the words but also you will learn to use them in proper sentences.
By the end of a week of involving yourself in the activity of cooking, you would have picked up more than a dozen words and phrases.
Thus, the best way to learn vocabulary is to get involved in an activity and then pick up the words that are used in doing that activity.
This is only possible if you are willing to come out of your comfort zone and put yourself in a totally new and challenging environment. Just wishing is not enough, you need to take action.
In contrast, if you try to memorize a word and its meaning in isolation, the mind might get confused and you may mistake the meaning of one word with the other.
After a while, you may not even be inspired to look at another word because you don't have any option to use the words.
Taking This Forward…
You can’t make yourself merely memorize the words and their meanings. You have to make sure that you live those words by involving in activities that make you use those words.
This leads us to the conclusion that in order to develop a large variety and a huge bank of words it is imperative that we make ourselves go through many different experiences throughout our lives. These experiences should be such that you have to compulsorily speak in English.
This is vital to the growth of an individual’s vocabulary.
