How to quickly learn words in English

Learning words in English is not difficult.The hardest thing to remember will be the large stream of new information.So that the words you have learned do not fly out of your head, adopt the following memorization methods.

Words with double meanings

In English, the same word can mean both a noun and a verb.Let's take as an example the familiar “love” - love and “to love” - to love.The same goes for the words “drive”, “dress”, “smoke”, etc.

When writing and memorizing a new word, check the dictionary to see if it has a second meaning.Maybe instead of one, you’ll learn two or three new words at once.

“tion” = “tion”

You may have noticed more than once that Russian words ending in “tion” in Englishhave the ending “tion”.Look:

“animation” - “animation”

“gradation” - “gradation”

“sensation” - “sensation”

Write down similar words in a column and translate them.You will only need to remember the roots, but they are easy to learn, and many are quite similar to the Russians.

Associations

The best way to remember a new word is to find an association for it.If it's hard to come up with, try googling that word and see the pictures.For example, for the word "beetle" (beetle), the search engine will give you images not of an insect, but of the well-known Volkswagen car.

These associations will help you build your vocabulary faster.

Identical words

In recent years, many new words have appeared in our language.Basically - these are English borrowings.Hype ("hype"), iPhone ("iPhone") and other already familiar to everyone sensor ("sensor"), caramel ("caramel") and so on.

The list of such words is very long.Rememberthey will not be difficult, the main thing is to change the pronunciation while speaking in English.

Learn idioms

In many idioms, words we already know are used in a completely different sense.For example, the expression: “You have your head in the clouds”.It seems that all the words have been familiar to you for a long time, but this phrase means something like “your plans are unrealistic / you think unrealistic”.

Learn idioms to avoid confusion when translating different texts.And be sure to apply the learned phrases in life.The more practice, the more likely you will remember this idiom.

Well, have you found something new for yourself?If so, be sure to share the information with your friends!
