Hi mylotters!!! Good noon... How are all of you doing?? I feel that I have to improve my vocabulary skills. So I asked for suggestions from my brothers and sisters. They told me to watch English movies, read newspapers, see videos of speech given by great people....other than these things I love to read novels.... Do you have good vocabulary skills?? Can you suggest me some of the ways you followed to improve your vocabulary skills?? Have a great day......!!! Image courtesy: Google.

Keep reading and looking up the meaning of words that you don't know. Never miss one.

My vocabulary increased by me reading novels when I was in high school and a dictionary is with me. When I don't know a word, i underline it and look it up in the dictionary.

@Teekaaa You have to use it in a sentence and read it aloud. Then memorize what it means and translate it to your opn language so you can remember what it means.

Yes... I too do that.. . But,if I am referring the dictionary for the meaning of a tough word, I'll remember the meaning for a short time..... when I come across the same word again I have to refer the dictionary....

No, I do not have good vocabulary skills. There was an easy reading paper in Hebrew that was around when I was learning Hebrew. Maybe there is a way on the internet to help you improve your English or a newspaper that may help also.

Your brothers and sisters are right. Getting in touch with more English stuffs will help us enlarge the vocabulary. There is no shortcut to it.

Sometimes I just take a dictionary and start to read trying to learn at least five new words. After, I try to build a sentence with each of them. It's always a great experience when I find one of those words I learned recently in a text of a newspaper, magazine or book I read.

I think reading and recapitulating what you read is the best tool to improve the vocabulary.
