So what do I have today for you? Today I want to share my top six tips to improve your vocabulary

in English and you must be wondering, what is vocabulary, and why is it essential to

improve it? Well vocabulary simply means, the collection of words. What kind of words

do you use and why is it important? Well we do a lot of work every day in English, it

can be oral work, which is verbal conversation or work that you write, writing maybe an email

at work or umm… job application for different avenues. So imagine if you have a good vocabulary,

it will become the most impressive trait of you as a communicator. And moreover a good

vocabulary gives you the chance to express yourself in the best possible manner. Well

I'm gonna give you the top essentials to have a great vocabulary. Let's go to the board,

I'm sure you're looking at this and you're saying oh my god, ‘read’ again? Well I

want to substitute that for you, you can choose to ‘read’, ‘listen’ or ‘watch’.

Reading is by far one of the best ways to expose yourself to new words and I know some

of us may not have the time or the inclination to read. Well I know but all of us to watch

our favorite movie. Go watch your favorite movie or your favorite TV serial and play

very close attention to the subtitles below. The subtitles will leave you with the word

that you perhaps don't know. ‘Listen’, listen to an interview of your favorite movie

star or your favorite sports person. You are likely to come across words that you do not

know and when it comes to reading, read whatever you like, maybe a fashion magazine or an article

on health. ‘Reading’, ‘listening’ and ‘watching’ will expose you to words

that you're not familiar with and then what you do next? But before that let me share

with you how I learned a new word while I was watching my favorite movie, so I was once

watching my favorite movie on TV and I came across a word, ‘precarious’… how do

you spell it? pre-cari-ous  and I had no idea what it means, but i quickly

went to my dictionary and I learned precarious means something which is likely to collapse

very, very soon. So there you go, I watched a movie, and I learned a new word. Dictionary,

it's critical, it must be your best friend if you want to have a better vocabulary. Because

every new word that you're exposed to will have to be learned, you will have to understand

the definition and the meaning of the word and keeping a dictionary handy will help you

to do that. There are various types of dictionaries available. An online dictionary like a thesaurus,

thesaurus… it's an online dictionary. Remember it also has antonyms and synonyms and there

you go, you know the word you also will get a sentence in which the word has been implemented

and you will have the antonyms and the synonyms of the word. The next one that I have for

you, is to keep a journal. Keeping a journal is basically collecting the words that you

have learnt. Your journal must have the ‘word’ with the meaning of the word in simple English

and preferably a sentence with that word. So let me demonstrate an example, so when

I learned the word, ‘abysmal’, it is spelt as ‘abysmal’… abysmal means something

extremely appalling, terrible, horrible and I wrote the meaning of the word next to it,

which is say, horrible and then I made a sentence out of it, so let me give you a sentence which

is extremely relevant to us, ‘the traffic sometimes here gets abysmal’… I'm sure

you agree with that. So keep a journal it'll be an inventory of all the words that you

have learned with the meaning of the word next to it in simple English and of course

a sentence, so you'll never forget the meaning of the word. Okay, what is to learn a word

a day? Learning a new word every day is essential because that is going to help you to improve

your vocabulary. We also have a channel called “Daily Video Vocabulary” and the link

for that channel is somewhere here, you need to click on that link because that's going

to take you to our channel. This channel provides you with one word every day and guess what,

you'll have ten sentences with that very same word. So there you go we're gonna help you

again to improve your vocabulary. Now how do you learn a word a day? You've got to have

the hunger to do that, like I said, go read an article, watch would you like, read something,

listen and if you get a word that you don't know about, go and figure it out and of course

please come to our channel and subscribe. So let me share an example how I learned a

new word. I heard my teacher saying you need to ‘enunciate’ clearly and I didn't know

what does it mean and then I figured it out enunciation meaning pronouncing or saying

something clearly, let me write that word for you, e-nun-ciate, so there you go, one

word a day. And then of course, play games. Who said learning English is boring. It can

be a lot of fun. Remember how in school used to play a game called “name, place animal

and thing”, so where you would be given a letter and you got to make a name out of

it, an animal, a place and a thing… so a game which is going to help you improve your

vocabulary. Another game can be ‘Scrabble’, ‘crossword’… participate in all the

crosswords in the newspapers and it's going to take your vocabulary to the next level.

And of course engage in conversations. Insist in having conversations completely in English.

Researchers have proven that, children surrounded with people speaking English are more likely

to pick up the language and we’re no different, if we constantly practice and engage ourselves

in conversations in a language that we want to be proficient in, we're going to do better.

So alright friends I'm very, very happy to share my tips with you. These are tips that

I practice every day and they work for me and I'm sure they're gonna work for you as

well. Alright, so let's do a quick recap to ensure we understand these tips, the first

one being, ‘read’, ‘listen, or ‘watch’… amalgamate, do what suits you, but go ahead

and do these things. ‘Dictionary’, your dictionary should be your best friend, use

an online dictionary or use an electronic dictionary but that should be handy. ‘Keep

a journal’, make a list of all the new words that you have learnt and you'll be amused

at the number of words that you've learnt in just a week. And ‘learn a word a day’,

learning a new word a day and of course the channel that we have for you is one of the

best tools that you can make the most of. ‘Play games”, I told you learning English

is extremely, funny because it's a lot of fun and there's a lot of games and activities

involved in it, so go ahead play a game. And of course, ‘engage in conversations’ because

that is the implementation and practice of your vocabulary. So with all of these tips

that I shared with you I'm thoroughly excited and I know they're gonna add a lot of value

to you just as they did it to me. So keep the practice on until next time, be healthy
