One of my
last blog posts was about how to improve your vocabulary and which strategies I
use to expand my range of vocabulary.
Now that
some time has passed by and I have read a few of my fellow student’s post about
this topic I’ve come to the conclusion that I can learn a lot from their
strategies. I have to admit that I am honestly impressed by their approach to
studying vocabulary and I am certainly going to adapt a few of their
strategies.
There was
one idea that I encountered various times and that I found especially useful –
to write down new words that you come across while reading for example a book
and to keep it all in one place. To be honest, I used to be too lazy to
actually pull through this idea but I’m definitely going to change that now. I came
across a lot of other interesting notions as well but the one that I regard as
the most important one is to keep trying to improve your language skills
constantly by using them as much as possible.
I just
wanted to mention that in addition to adapting these new strategies I still
will stick to most of my own strategies to study vocabulary because I am
already used to them and they have proven to work more or less efficiently. For
example, I will continue using vocabulary.com because I really like that both
the definition and example sentences of a word are presented in an appealing
way.
Anyway,
that’s all I can think of about the topic of studying vocabulary right now, so
I’m going to end this post here.
Oh one last
thing, if you were wondering about the blog posts of my fellow students that
inspired me to change my study habits here are the links to them in no
particular order:
If you have
time, read them, they are really worth it ;)
