how can i memorize the oxford english dictionary or most spoken english words?

Answer 1

Well, you actually can't memorise any dictionary - it is impossible. Certainly in the case of the full 20 volumes of the OED - it has over 300,000 words in it.

It is never a good idea to improve your vocabulary by memorising lists of words... the mind remembers better with context. This is only useful for the absolute beginner, which from the way you have worded your question, you actually aren't.

It is worth making lists of words you come across in books, magazines, newspapers or online that you come acros, with their context and then memorising those. But really, reading normal English prose is the best way to improving your English.

Answer 2

A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of online courses which teach written and spoken English. You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

Answer 3

Try reading new english words from your local english newspaper, books, etc. look up their meanings in the English Dictionary and form a habit of writing down new words.

Answer 4

I speak English, French and Spanish. I have spoken 3 languages all my life. I believe every citizen of the United States of America should speak English, at least well enough to get by. It just makes life easier when you can communicate with the people you live and work around. I cam from a trilingual household, I believe people should hold on to their mother tongue but also learn to speak the language that is spoken by the majority of people in the country where they live.

Answer 5

Whenever you listen or read a new word, write it down along its meaning and read it 3-4 times that day. This can help memorising most spoken English words.

Answer 6

well looking analytically at the dictionary a lot of the words in the dictionary are verbs and pronouns which we use mostly while writing......honestly reading a few good books which carry a high level of language while introduce you to unfamiliar words.....memorising the dictionary is a tough task...but looking at it practically you will know the meaning of the words but it would be difficult to phrase them into sentences

Answer 7

Why would you want to memorize words. Use the language constantly and the words will come naturally to you, mon.
