Let's talk about English vocabulary and how do you actually learn new words? I'm pretty sure you're in the situation where you understand pretty much everything around you, but when you have to speak, the words just don't come. And that's fine. That's normal. It happens to me. It happens to everybody. Because what happens is that you absorb, you consume a lot of English, but you don't actually produce it. So if you want to add new words into your vocabulary, that you can actually use, here's what you need to do. Get a coffee, take some notes, save this video. Okay, one of the biggest mistakes a lot of people make when learning new words is that they are focusing on words that they never need or never use. For example, you're reading this like complex news article and you have 20 words that you don't know there and you write them down on a piece of paper or in your notebook and you're like, these are new words I need to know them. No, you don't. You're not the author of that article. You don't work at that media agency. You don't need those words. You will never use them. So what you need to do instead is to learn words that you can actually put in context in your own life. And I would start with synonyms. For example, you know the word happy, right? How many synonyms can you produce for this word? You know the word angry. How many more synonyms can you produce for this word? Synonyms are words that are specific for a certain situation, right? That's why they exist. For example, angry could also be upset or could also be enraged, irritated, annoyed, agitated, furious, livid, infuriated. Take a word that you know like nice or happy or angry or good and learn some synonyms because whenever the situation is going to come that you will need a specific word for that context, you're going to sound a lot better because you're going to have a different option. You can just say nice all the time. Oh, this is nice. Oh, yeah, it was nice. Oh, the dress is nice. The party was nice. The food is nice. Get some synonyms in. And this is a great place to start because you're choosing words that you were already using, that you need, but you're also expanding your vocabulary at the same time. I'm going to make this into a series. So make sure you follow me to get the other parts.
