Other resources for learning English

Reading definitions in a learner's dictionary (like Learn These Words First) can help you understand the meanings of new English words. But if you want to remember these words and their meanings later, you need to practise using the words.

Here are some ways you can practise:

• When you are reading and find an unfamiliar word, write down the word and its meaning.
• Make flashcards and use them to review new vocabulary words.
• Translate sentences from English into another language you know. Look at sentences other people have translated.
• Read sentences aloud and notice words in context. Read aloud with a recording.
• Study an English course and do the exercises to learn vocabulary and grammar rules.
• Talk with an English speaker or exchange written notes over internet.
• Watch videos with English captions.

What do you do that helps you learn and remember new vocabulary?
