You’ll probably need to work on it for a while before you start seeing real results, but with some effort you’ll be able to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are a few tricks you can use to make the process a little easier. In this post, I’ll show you how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSTEP 1: Take Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is by far the easiest way to learn new words.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTake notes on anything that catches your eye. If you see a word you don’t know, write it down. If you’re in a conversation, note the word that you want to look up later.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDon’t worry about remembering all the details of the conversation. You can always refer back to the notes when you need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSTEP 2: Use a Dictionary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can use an online dictionary like this one for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you’d like to save time, you can use a dictionary app on your phone or tablet. I prefer this app because it’s a lot more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are also apps for Mac and Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSTEP 3: Use Vocabulary Flashcards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe best way to really master a vocabulary is to use flashcards.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can use these anywhere: in class, at work, or while you’re taking a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSTEP 4: Read Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you don’t want to take notes, reading articles about the topic you’re learning is another good way to learn new words.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI use the Pocket app for this. It’s free and works great on my Android device.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSTEP 5: Listen to Podcasts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nListening to podcasts is an excellent way to learn new words and expand your vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI like the Podcaster app because it makes listening to podcasts as easy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSTEP 6: Use Online Classes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt’s easier to learn new words when you have someone helping you along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is where online classes like this one come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can use the program in a variety of ways, but I recommend using it like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\nFirst, pick one word to learn per week. If you miss a week, pick up right where you left off.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSecond, create a lesson plan that covers all the words you want to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFinally, get started on your lessons. If you start them all at once, it’ll be harder to keep track of them and you might end up skipping some.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you’re not sure how to create your lesson plan, check out the video tutorial here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSTEP 7: Keep Going<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou won’t see results right away. It could take months for you to really start seeing improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThat’s okay. The key is to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you stop trying, you’ll never make any progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Learning new words is hard.
