How to improve your vocabulary.

(Dedicated to students of Practice of English I)

I can speak from experience about some circumstances in which one can feel a little bit scared while taking this subject (Practice I), especially if you don’t have much background knowledge.

Sometimes we tend to feel a little bit discouraged when we are learning a new language, we feel like there is too much to take in or too much that we have to remember: new expressions, lots of idioms, new words. Some of the time this can be a quite difficult but all we have to do is to find ways of making it easier for us.

The main focus of this post is to give you guys tips and easy techniques to improve your vocabulary and to help you feel more comfortable while you are learning English.

So here are a few easy techniques we can use to help us learn a new language:

• As far as the English Language it doesn’t matter if our pronunciation isn’t the best, the important thing is to get used to the language and to acquire new vocabulary.

• Take advantage of all those TV programs and reality shows that cable TV has to offer, and pay close attention to new expressions and new words and try to recognize and remember many of them as possible.

• Listen to lots and lots of English music, and then look for the lyrics of your favorite songs online, this is a really good and fun way to learn.

• Read as much things in English as you can, newspapers, magazines, blogs, there are a lot of resources available online.

• Finally don’t give up! For you to be the best, you have to try hard and to make your best effort, so don’t quit easily and always stay on the fight! =D
