Today, let's look at learning English vocabulary.
Q: What is the best way to learn vocabulary?
A: The best way to learn vocabulary is to use it! That means you need to READ, WRITE, LISTEN and TALK!!
You will find that if you do this with NATIVE English material, you will find a lot of USEFUL words to learn. I think this way is much better than learning from a vocabulary book.
I know in my experience, when I learned a new word by EXPERIENCING it, I would REMEMBER it!
By experiencing it, I mean:
- meeting the word in a real language situation
- not knowing what it means
- finding out the meaning (maybe with a dictionary or from a friend)
- then using the word.

READING, WRITING, LISTENING and SPEAKING English as much as possible, your vocabulary will grow and
