How to expand my vocabulary by abigail2004

"Books, videos and being open-minded"

How I did it: Vocabulary to me is a lot more than big words, it's about the ability to express yourself. This was something I've previously lacked.

It all began with the concious decision to fall in love with language and the ability to express myself. I started reading books which interested and touched on the topics that I liked; as I did this, new words became picked up on subconsciously.
I started watching videos on different topics to do with space or education or whatever and admire the way words were used to create certain messages.
I also understood that learning new vocabulary is not something to boast about but to celebrate.

Lessons & tips:

  1.   Be humble and willing to learn
  2. Use a new word everyday when interacting with others 
  3. Watch and observe great speakers 
  4. Read great books; admire how authors interweave words to produce amazing stories/ messages 
  5. Love language
