Yes, because it is the easiest and essential tip to improve your vocabulary. It&#8217;s easy to spot a new word anywhere in this world. But reading it in reference with some context would give you some leverage against that word.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To spot such words, you don\u2019t have to habituate yourself to read the big old classics or any fancy book. You would be surprised to find the number of new words that will be found in your news daily or your everyday magazine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bond with the Dictionary or Thesaurus&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone might think this is an exhausting process but think about it. How did you really know the meaning for every word back in the day?&nbsp;A dictionary. A hard-cased heavy dictionary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dictionary is usually seen as a book with extra weight and many of us don\u2019t use a thesaurus.&nbsp;Did you know that many of the fancy or&nbsp;right words&nbsp;are found in the thesaurus?&nbsp;So,&nbsp;don\u2019t panic when you read a word you didn\u2019t know, it probably means the same as the simple word you know.&nbsp;I suggest you&nbsp;start&nbsp;bonding with these two.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use it or forget it&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This almost sounds like fight-or-flight, right? It is. As suggested, you\u2019ve started to read and skim for&nbsp;new words. After finding them, you have also used the dictionary or thesaurus. That\u2019s great! You\u2019re discovering new&nbsp;words,&nbsp;but does this improve your vocabulary? No.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless and until you implement these words in your sentences\u00a0every day, you will not get a hang of it nor will you be able to improve your vocabulary.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One Word a Day&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It all starts on one day&nbsp;&#8211; the urge to improve your vocabulary.&nbsp;We all focus so much on that single day and we decide to&nbsp;procrastinate&nbsp;the same amount of effort for the other days. Instead of focusing to develop your vocabulary on a single day, let\u2019s split the effort fairly and easily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to learn one new word every day&nbsp;with respect to its context&nbsp;and&nbsp;use this word in your conversations.&nbsp;This is not much of a difficult task considering that many websites&nbsp;offer word-a-day&nbsp;calendar&nbsp;or your list of words to learn \u2013 which is a great technique many people use to learn new words.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/step.thehindu.com\/blog\/10-hacks-speak-english-effectively\/\"><strong>Speaking<\/strong><\/a> and Listening&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply talking with other people can help you in discovering new words. As with reading, once you hear a new word, remember to jot it down so that you can study it later &#8212; and then slowly add the new word to your vocabulary.&nbsp;It can be easier if you prefer the topics that interest you most, about which you would remember every detail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Analyze and Associate&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There may be&nbsp;an infinite&nbsp;number of words but there is a higher&nbsp;probability&nbsp;of us coming across the same word multiple times. Every time you come across that&nbsp;word, it&nbsp;may be&nbsp;in a different context or&nbsp;at least&nbsp;in a different sentence. This might make you feel like you know that&nbsp;word,&nbsp;yet&nbsp;you don\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At such times, it is&nbsp;recommended&nbsp;to analyze the word and the whole meaning of the sentence. Try and dissect the sentence into multiple fragments and rule out&nbsp;the words (of those you know the meaning). Now, associate the meaning across situations and sentences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain your Personal Lexicon&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your own lexicon would be more customized and it&#8217;s a good idea to keep a list of the new words you discover so that you can refer to the list and slowly build them into your everyday vocabulary. Plus, keeping a journal of all your new words can supply positive reinforcement for learning even more words &#8212; especially when you can&nbsp;look at the number of new words you&#8217;ve already learned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Play and Learn&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning new words? Boosting up the vocabulary? It all seems&nbsp;important but&nbsp;sounds boring. It may sound&nbsp;boring,&nbsp;but you&nbsp;can learn it &#8211; the fun way!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tons of word games waiting to be discovered, which can rouse your knowledge and challenge you at the same time.&nbsp;Try downloading these fun-word games onto your mobile \/ PC, which might help you&nbsp;unwind&nbsp;after&nbsp;a busy day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visualize them&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are done &#8211; reading, learning and a fun way to do these but how well do remember them?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I say \u201cA for&#8230;\u201d you have an image of the shining red apple blink in your head. How did&nbsp;that happen? Because you visualized it, associated the image with the word.&nbsp;For example, take the word \u2018hypocrite\u2019. Let\u2019s split it into \u2018hypo\u2019 and \u2018crite\u2019 (which can be related to the critic)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hypo usually means under (like the words hypothermia, hypothyroid, etc.).&nbsp;When we combine&nbsp;both the fragments, we get \u2018under-critic\u2019 or a critic who is not up to his mark.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The actual meaning of hypocrite \u2013 a person who&nbsp;pretends to be in a certain way but acts and believes the complete opposite.&nbsp;Seems close&nbsp;enough?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t go overboard!&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, it is important to equally distribute your effort over time. It is&nbsp;advised&nbsp;that&nbsp;you&nbsp;not&nbsp;to&nbsp;go overboard with your learning process and&nbsp;took it slow.&nbsp;Remember &#8211; slow and steady wins the race!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Play this quiz to test your basic vocabulary!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/english.steptest.in\/mycourse?course_id=0\" style=\"color:#ffffff\">Take a Free test<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing is caring \u2013 share with your friends who might find this helpful!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our Instagram page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the_hindu_step\/?hl=en\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the 10 tips to improve your vocabulary, which are easy to follow.
