Does anybody know how to improve your vocabulary skills? #1 (permalink) Thu Nov 26, 2009 14:09 pm   Does anybody know how to improve your vocabulary skills?
 

I am longing for improving my vocabulary skills I know it may take some time to do and the range of using English words can be broaden as time goes by. But I would like to improve it as quick as possible I am impatient person in that way.

So, Please share with me your strategy in order to understand all English conversation, debates, and even to improve English writing skills. I will look forward to it so much.

Well, I would doubt about learning the words from the dictionary directly. It's a time-consuming process.

It's been said that "word" must be linked in a certain context so that "reading more" would be a better approach in improving vocabulary pool.

It's written about passive vocabulary, and using these words (writing, speaking, reading) enabled your active vocabulary.

I agree with you and I would like to do so everyday.
But I have a doubt on it if I can do that EVERYDAY ?.. I do not think so as a reality is not as easy as a single word. But I appreciate your suggestion. What is the name of English dictionary that you are using corresponding your suggestion ? Mine is Oxford learner's English dictionary 7th edition built in electronic dictionary brought in from South Korea, my mother country.
