How to improve your vocabulary - The sequel

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 ;)
