Hi again.

Welcome back to www .engvid .com.

I'm Adam.

Today's lesson is meant to show you ways of increasing your vocabulary.

I know some of the other teachers on www .engvid .com have done these lessons.

I just want to throw my two cents in, if you know what that means.

It means I want to give my own piece of advice.

I have a few ideas for you.

We're going to start with these.

We'll look at a few others, more practical ones as well.

The most important thing that you can do to increase your vocabulary is read.

Read a lot.

What should you read?

Anything and everything.

But the most important thing is read what you are interested in.

Okay?

If you like sports, read a sports magazine.

If you like movies, read a movie magazine.

Even better, read the script of the movie.

If If the movie is based on a novel, read the novel.

For example, recently the movie

Life of Pi was very famous in the theaters.

It's based on a novel.

Read the novel.

It's a pretty good book.

My favorite movie, Shawshank Redemption, based on a novella by Stephen King.

Read it.

Best way to increase your vocabulary.

Also, don't just learn new words and try to remember them.

Write.

Write a lot.

Use the words you're learning, right?

Every time you learn a new word, you should have a notebook with you all the time anyway, write the word in a sentence.

But not just any sentence.

Make sure that the sentence clearly shows that you know the meaning of the word.

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.

Don't write the sky is beautiful.

It doesn't tell me anything about the word beautiful.

The sky is also blue.

Does Does beautiful mean blue?

No. Make sure you're using something.

I love to see a beautiful sky that has pretty clouds and a sunshine and a nice color,

nice shade of blue because it makes me feel happy.

Not the best example.

It's a very long sentence, but you get my idea.

Now, again, coming back to that notebook.

Always have a notebook with you, always have a pen with you, and don't limit yourself to one new word.

When you learn a new word, make sure you learn different forms of the same word, okay?

So, for example, the word beautiful.

Let's say this is a new word for you.

You learn the word beautiful.

Put it in your adjective column.

It's an adjective, that's what you want.

But why not learn the other forms?

For example, what is the adverb form of beautiful.

I think most of you know it.

It's beautifully.

So you have now two new words.

What is the noun form of beautiful?

It's beauty.

You now have three new words in your vocabulary.

Is there a verb form of beautiful?

Yes, as a matter of fact, there is.

Beautify means to make beautiful.

You now have four new words.

Think of other words.

Beautician.

Beautician is a person who works making people more beautiful.

He does facials and manicures and pedicures and wax and whatever else these beauticians do.

Anyways, try to find other forms, learn many words instead of just one word.

Okay.

Now, some people like to study roots and suffixes and prefixes.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of this recommendation, but first let me explain what a root is.

For example, example, you have the root JECT.

So you learn INJECT, EJECT, OBJECT, SUBJECT, all the different words that come from the root.

So many people only study the word or the root JECT

and think that it will help them understand all the words with this root.

It's a good idea if you have the patience.

I think most people who are studying English don't like to study root because it's like studying another language.

If it works for you, do it.

If it doesn't, don't.

Okay.

And now another thing you can do, listen.

Listen to any spoken English that you can.

I think some of you may have heard of TED .com.

It's a good website.

People give talks and lectures about different topics.

Listen.

Listen carefully.

Anytime you hear a word that you don't recognize, write it down.

If you don't know the spelling, no problem.

Write it phonetically.

Write the word just like it sounds.

Then, if you have access to a transcript, means all the words that were spoken, written down, check the transcript and find your word.

If you can't, if you don't have a transcript, go to a dictionary.

Now, some of you have asked me to recommend a dictionary.

Very simple.

And they're online, you can get the paper one or the online one.

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

Go to www .engvid .com.

220

I'll give you a quiz, give you some more practice with these ideas.

221

And subscribe to my YouTube channel.

222

And come again, we'll do this again.

223

Thanks.

224

Thank you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
