1
Hi again.
2
Welcome back to www .engvid .com.
3
I'm Adam.
4
Today's lesson is meant to show you ways of increasing your vocabulary.
5
I know some of the other teachers on www .engvid .com have done these lessons.
6
I just want to throw my two cents in, if you know what that means.
7
It means I want to give my own piece of advice.
8
I have a few ideas for you.
9
We're going to start with these.
10
We'll look at a few others, more practical ones as well.
11
The most important thing that you can do to increase your vocabulary is read.
12
Read a lot.
13
What should you read?
14
Anything and everything.
15
But the most important thing is read what you are interested in.
16
Okay?
17
If you like sports, read a sports magazine.
18
If you like movies, read a movie magazine.
19
Even better, read the script of the movie.
20
If If the movie is based on a novel, read the novel.
21
For example, recently the movie
22
Life of Pi was very famous in the theaters.
23
It's based on a novel.
24
Read the novel.
25
It's a pretty good book.
26
My favorite movie, Shawshank Redemption, based on a novella by Stephen King.
27
Read it.
28
Best way to increase your vocabulary.
29
Also, don't just learn new words and try to remember them.
30
Write.
31
Write a lot.
32
Use the words you're learning, right?
33
Every time you learn a new word, you should have a notebook with you all the time anyway, write the word in a sentence.
34
But not just any sentence.
35
Make sure that the sentence clearly shows that you know the meaning of the word.
36
Okay, so let's, for example, I know everybody knows this word, but beautiful, everybody knows this word, but let's say it's a new word for you.
37
Don't write the sky is beautiful.
38
It doesn't tell me anything about the word beautiful.
39
The sky is also blue.
40
Does Does beautiful mean blue?
41
No. Make sure you're using something.
42
I love to see a beautiful sky that has pretty clouds and a sunshine and a nice color,
43
nice shade of blue because it makes me feel happy.
44
Not the best example.
45
It's a very long sentence, but you get my idea.
46
Now, again, coming back to that notebook.
47
Always have a notebook with you, always have a pen with you, and don't limit yourself to one new word.
48
When you learn a new word, make sure you learn different forms of the same word, okay?
49
So, for example, the word beautiful.
50
Let's say this is a new word for you.
51
You learn the word beautiful.
52
Put it in your adjective column.
53
It's an adjective, that's what you want.
54
But why not learn the other forms?
55
For example, what is the adverb form of beautiful.
56
I think most of you know it.
57
It's beautifully.
58
So you have now two new words.
59
What is the noun form of beautiful?
60
It's beauty.
61
You now have three new words in your vocabulary.
62
Is there a verb form of beautiful?
63
Yes, as a matter of fact, there is.
64
Beautify means to make beautiful.
65
You now have four new words.
66
Think of other words.
67
Beautician.
68
Beautician is a person who works making people more beautiful.
69
He does facials and manicures and pedicures and wax and whatever else these beauticians do.
70
Anyways, try to find other forms, learn many words instead of just one word.
71
Okay.
72
Now, some people like to study roots and suffixes and prefixes.
73
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of this recommendation, but first let me explain what a root is.
74
For example, example, you have the root JECT.
75
So you learn INJECT, EJECT, OBJECT, SUBJECT, all the different words that come from the root.
76
So many people only study the word or the root JECT
77
and think that it will help them understand all the words with this root.
78
It's a good idea if you have the patience.
79
I think most people who are studying English don't like to study root because it's like studying another language.
80
If it works for you, do it.
81
If it doesn't, don't.
82
Okay.
83
And now another thing you can do, listen.
84
Listen to any spoken English that you can.
85
I think some of you may have heard of TED .com.
86
It's a good website.
87
People give talks and lectures about different topics.
88
Listen.
89
Listen carefully.
90
Anytime you hear a word that you don't recognize, write it down.
91
If you don't know the spelling, no problem.
92
Write it phonetically.
93
Write the word just like it sounds.
94
Then, if you have access to a transcript, means all the words that were spoken, written down, check the transcript and find your word.
95
If you can't, if you don't have a transcript, go to a dictionary.
96
Now, some of you have asked me to recommend a dictionary.
97
Very simple.
98
And they're online, you can get the paper one or the online one.
99
Merriam -Webster's m -w .com American English.
100
Oxforddictionaries .com British English.
101
Okay?
102
Now, I know I've seen a lot of students use, like, their electronic dictionaries.
103
They go from, like, English to Korean, English to Japanese, English to Spanish.
104
Don't do that anymore.
105
Okay?
106
English to English.
107
This way, you're learning more words as you're learning one word.
108
I don't know this word.
109
I look at the definition.
110
In the definition, I might be...
111
I might be learning other words, okay?
112
You will maximize how many words you learn by using an English -to -English dictionary.
113
Now, again, about those electronic dictionaries.
114
Sometimes, like, especially when people are trying to write, they will write a sentence in their native language and then press
115
Translate on this dictionary and get a sentence in English.
116
Now, I've seen sentences that I knew came from the.. from the electronic dictionary because they made no sense.
117
Okay?
118
They were terrible, terrible sentences.
119
Don't do that.
120
Okay?
121
The people who made these dictionaries might not know English very well.
122
Keep that in mind.
123
Okay?
124
So these are some ideas.
125
Now I'm going to tell you what I think are the best ideas to increase your vocabulary.
126
Okay, so now we're going to look at a couple other ways you can increase your vocabulary.
127
These are very effective, but they take a lot of patience, a lot of perseverance.
128
You have to try hard, you have to keep doing it, because vocabulary, not so easy, right?
129
Okay, so first we're going to start with cards.
130
You get yourself a stack of cards, maybe this big, not too big because you want to carry them in your pocket,
131
take them with you everywhere you go, okay?
132
On one side of the cards, you're going to write words, four, maybe five words that are new words for you.
133
You're going to write sentences on the back, on the other side of the card.
134
You're going to use these words in sentences, so you have the clear meaning.
135
Or you can write the meaning of the word, dictionary meaning.
136
Both okay.
137
Now, you're going to split your cards into three piles.
138
Okay?
139
You're going to have the pile of cards of words that you know, words you're very comfortable with.
140
Eventually, you will have a pile like this.
141
Words that you're very comfortable with, you know them very well, you don't need to look at these cards very often.
142
Okay?
143
Now, before I continue, where do you get these words?
144
You get from a TOEFL site or an IELTS site or an SAT site or an SAT book, for example.
145
They have lists of words that you need to learn.
146
Put all these words on cards, split them up like this.
147
You know these words very well, don't need to look at.
148
These words you're almost sure, or at least you recognize these words, you've seen them before, you've heard them before,
149
you can guess what they mean maybe in context, so you're not sure, put them in this pile.
150
This pile you will look at all the time.
151
And And then in the last pile, you put words that you really don't know.
152
Okay?
153
This is the pile you will look at the most.
154
You will study these words.
155
As they become more familiar, you move them to this pile.
156
This pile you study also very regularly.
157
You take the...
158
This pile is the one you put in your pocket and take with you when you go outside.
159
On the bus, look at your words.
160
Long line at the bank, pull out your cards.
161
Look at the words, okay?
162
When this word becomes very comfortable for you when you know what this word means
163
Move it over to this pile leave it at home, okay?
164
Don't know almost sure no study move study move put aside
165
Once in a while look at them
166
Just make sure you remember because if you never look at these again, you will forget them
167
Okay, so it's all the time continual you have to practice practice practice practice practice.
168
Vocabulary is a lot of memorization.
169
That's the way it is.
170
Now, here's another thing you can do, okay?
171
This is the last one I'll show you today.
172
What you do is you make yourself groups of words, okay?
173
You take.. you can do it many ways.
174
You can make yourself a little.. like a little brainstorm.
175
You, for example, if we're looking at roots, you You write the root in here, eject, and then you write reject,
176
inject, eject, subject, etc. Or in the list however way works for you.
177
So three ways that I will recommend to group words.
178
Again, if you like the roots, group them like that.
179
Eject, reject, object, subject, inject.
180
Now, the reason you're going to make groups is because maybe you don't remember object or object,
181
remember noun or verb, but you remember ject, you remember this group.
182
You sort of remember what JECT means, so you can apply it to object.
183
JECT is like push in most contexts, object is push away, refuse.
184
Okay?
185
So if you don't remember the word, hopefully you will remember the idea of the group, and then that will remind you what the word means.
186
Okay?
187
Another group you can use is similar meanings, so synonyms, words that have similar meanings, or a similar function.
188
Okay?
189
So So for example, I'm going to look at this function, increase, extend, expand, accelerate, intensify, reinforce.
190
All of these have some sort, in their meaning, have some sort of connection to increase.
191
Extend, make longer, increase length, or time, duration.
192
Expand, increase size or scope,
193
accelerate, increase speed, intensify, increase intensity, Reinforce, increase strength.
194
So maybe you see the word reinforce, you're reading something, you see the word reinforce
195
You're not exactly sure what it means, but you remember the group it was in.
196
The group was the increase group
197
So reinforce means increase plus the context of the sentence you saw it in Will help you understand it means increase strength
198
Or sometimes it could be increased number like number of soldiers reinforce the position
199
The last group is theme.
200
For example, let's say for today the theme is technology.
201
Okay?
202
So you write words that have to do with technology.
203
Obsolete, state -of -the -art, update, downgrade, cutting -edge.
204
All these words we can talk about like computer softwares or computers.
205
Obsolete, old, not useful anymore.
206
Nobody uses this anymore.
207
Windows XP.
208
Maybe not completely obsolete, but almost obsolete hardly anybody uses it anymore
209
State of the art means the newest
210
Cutting edge the newest the most modern the most advanced you can get
211
Update to make newer Downgrade to make less for example.
212
I have Windows 8.
213
I don't like it I want to downgrade to Windows 7, but can't do it
214
Windows 8 won't let me
215
But anyway, so you have a theme, you have a function, you have the root.
216
Learn in chunks.
217
If you don't remember one word, you'll remember the group.
218
It'll help you understand the word you're looking at, okay?
219

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
