WAY TO BUILD OUR VOCABULARY

Vocabulary building can be an interesting exercise. The most important thing is to realize how motivated we are to learn new words. If you are happy knowing the words that you keep using in our day-to-day communication and do not wish to build your vocabulary we may not find vocabulary building exercises interesting enough. we should always start by learning the simple words that you require to communicate in English. However, you cannot stop there. we should keep expanding your knowledge of words and use them while communicating. This will help you immensely in making our communication effective and interesting.

Apart from doing vocabulary building exercises found in good vocabulary building books, we should make it a habit to read good English news papers, magazines, story books and novels on a regular basis. In addition to this, listening to good speakers will also help you in building our vocabulary. (Many people take delight in testing their stock of vocabulary by solving crossword puzzle.)

Vocabulary building is an integral part of language learning. It helps a learner to become a better
communicator. we need good vocabulary to communicate effectively as lack of vocabulary will limit
our expression of thoughts and ideas.

Instead of learning new words at random it is better to adopt a systematic approach towards it. Thorough knowledge of different aspects of vocabulary- meaning relations, collocation, contextual meaning, word formation and idioms and phrasal verbs- will help us systematize the exercise of vocabulary building and enable us to use words properly and appropriately. This knowledge with right practice and a good dictionary are the basic requirements of vocabulary building.
