If you'd like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In order
to do this, you have to practice a lot. I'm afraid there is not a short cut for this. But there are many effective
ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics, newspapers, magazines, etc.
depending on your English level. As you read, you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words
from the context of the sentence. If you cannot, then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to
English dictionary should be your first choice and keep the translator as last. Another way of building
vocabulary is to watch movies in English which will also help with pronunciation. Try to be involved
2
with the language as much as you can. Keep a vocabulary notebook and write down a few words each
day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate with people
all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one after another, people most likely will understand
what you mean regardless of the order of the words and grammar.
