how can i develop my vocabulary in english?

Answer 1

Turn on the CC option [closed captioning] on your TV. Obviously you'll want to choose "English" as the language option and watch English language programming.
Honestly, I know people who have learned English this way. Press the "Mute" button to learn how to read and recognize English. Allow CC with sound to learn pronunciation.

Do not try to do this with "live" TV shows such as news broadcasts [unless you need a good laugh!] Start with PBS shows.

This is also good for English-speakers learning how to read. Do it with "Sesame Street" and "Reading Between the Lions".

Answer 2

I studied English as a Second Language.
I read the news paper next to the German news paper. I compared headings and words.

I than started reading straight English books and college career books. Now , I am still reading ton's of literature, biographics, essay's etc.

That's how you can increase vocabulary by reading, reading, reading.

TV is a distractor. Only books keep your brain going.

Also take a notepad, a pencil and a Dictionary. Make it a routine to go through the Dictionary each day, learning at least five new words and it's description. And try memorizing it.

That's how I learned English and still do til that day.

Answer 3

SAT books are a fun place to start. They have SAT words in them, and you can either get the meaning from the text or they have a dictionary at the back of the book, but they aren't books of just SAT words, the words are used in an interesting story on a variety of subjects. My other advice is read, doesn't matter what subject just as long as you are reading novels written at an adult level you will find words you didn't know.

Answer 4

Take a English class.
