Tips to enrich your vocabulary

Dante in Linea

March 17, 2018

There are ways to improve or expand our language independently, both for people who are starting to learn a language on their own, and for people who attend a language course and are given the task of continuously improving and practicing the language that They have decided to learn.

And if that is your case, let us congratulate you for taking the initiative, because a good vocabulary is much more important than we think and even more if we intend to expand it in another language. Because people with less knowledge (vocabulary) have less ability to perceive things.

Having a good vocabulary, not only serves to show off when arriving at a place, or give lectures, but, fundamentally, it serves to build the foundations of our intelligence, order our thoughts and open our minds to any kind of culture. To achieve this we provide the following recommendations:

Make our study methodology fun:

As you read it, despite what it may seem, increasing our vocabulary should not be a complicated task. Perhaps the most important thing in this process is to leave the old idea that we have to memorize practically everything, the first thing is to correctly understand the meaning of each word and then start with a more effective learning.

In addition, the mental exercise of trying to find the right moment to practice our newly acquired vocabulary will also be quite useful and not boring at all.

Establish a logical and convenient method:

To increase the vocabulary does not need to read a dictionary from end to end, but to keep the curiosity and look for words that we do not understand. Reading, as always, is the most important thing.

When in a text we find an unknown word, we must point it out and then look for its meaning.
Use mobile applications to practice regularly and in your free time.

Master the synonyms:

It is very useful to know the synonyms of the words. Not only will they serve to increase our vocabulary, but they will give variety to our spoken and above all written expression.

We hope that our recommendations are very useful when deciding to start expanding your lexicon, in the study of a new language. And remember that in Dante in Linea we wait for you to guarantee the correct learning of the Italian language.
