Tips for Expanding Your Vocabulary
Don't waste your time.
Too many courses bombard you with long lists of vocabulary words to memorize. Unfortunately, you won't even be using many of these words, and so you will eventually forget them anyway.
Learn the basics first.
With our course, we purposely keep the number of words to a minimum. These words are used over and over throughout the course, so you really learn them well. Also, they are the more common words that you will find yourself using every day.
Expand your vocabulary to fit your own needs.
As you progress, you will want to expand your vocabulary in areas that are of interest to you. Maybe you work in health care -- you'll be interested in medical and anatomical terms. If you're into sports, then you will find a whole different set of words to be the most useful. It makes a lot more sense for you to decide what areas you want to study, rather have this dictated to you.
Studyspanish.com has an extensive vocabulary section.
Be sure to visit the vocabulary section of studyspanish.com where you will find over 1200 words arranged thematically. For each topic there are quizzes, test and online games, all designed to make learning the words fun and easy.
Make your own flashcards!
Truth be told, the simple 3X5 flashcard that you make yourself is your most powerful tool for learning new vocabulary. The reason is simple: you can always carry a few flashcards with you, and so you can turn what would otherwise be wasted time (standing in line, stuck in traffic, etc.) into productive study time. Even if all you have is 2 minutes, that's enough time to review 10-15 flashcards.
