How to Increase Vocabulary

There are lots of ways to enlarge your vocabulary, but whatever you do, keep practicing. 

My simple ways of expanding my vocabulary are as follows: 

1. Reading newspapers or whatever you like - it is not only reading but also practicing note-taking and using new words by both speaking and writing simple sentences before moving on to complex sentences. 

2. Knowing the origins of English words - most English words are derived from Greek and Latin. It is very important to master the most common prefixes, roots and suffixes that are used to form words in English. 

Knowing the original meaning of a prefix, root, or suffix will give you a clue of what that word possibly means. One of the common prefixes is 'un-', which means 'not', as you can find it in countless English words such as tidy/untidy, happy/unhappy, lock/unlock, etc. 

3. Well-known dictionaries like Oxford, Cambridge and Longman - it is a prominent source of information for you to explore and learn new vocabulary with its definitions, plus examples of how to use them. 

4. Talking to native speakers or those English-speaking people in everyday life as much as you can - this is not very easy for those who dislike socializing with people, but it works better for you if you are a friendly, sociable, talkative person.

These are my ways to expand my vocabulary. You can use your own way. The most important thing is that you must practice it every day.
