I want to build a better vocab I have a strong one now but I want to incorporate new words into how I talk?

Question

instead of fun say entertaining or instead of like say similar

Answer 1

While I think it's great for you to build a bigger vocabulary, I want to caution you that language is basically for communication, not to impress others. You don't want to use words that your hearers do not understand. (I once offended my older sister's best friend by using a word that she did not understand, and she thought I was trying to make her look stupid.) Unless you are with others with like-sized vocabulary, keep your special words for reading and writing.

Answer 2

Reading is an excellent way to build a better vocabulary. You could also try to open the dictionary every day and pick a random word. Try to use it several times a day in conversation. I think it's great that you want to expand your vocabulary. It is something everyone should do! If you want to remove certain words from your daily language, make a list and ask your friends to help you. If someone (or yourself) notice that you say a word on your "Taboo" list, you should have a punishment (not something harsh) but maybe you can't drink your favorite soda for a day or two. Just something fun to try! Not related, but my fiance always leaves the toilet seat up and he's trying not to so whenever it is up and i'm going to the bathroom, I let him know and he has to put $1 in a jar. Good luck!

Answer 3

Buy a thesaurus. It's a good way to look up words and find other words to use in place of it. Highly recommended if you want to build your vocabulary.

Answer 4

I used to actually read a page of a big thick dictionary every day. It's like "word of the day".

Answer 5

Read! Not just any book, but the classics, Dickens, Bronte, Austen, etc.
