I read 4 “Dickens” novels in a row and started speaking in Victorian era English for a while. My friends thought I had gone crazy.

This was posted 8 years ago and I'm watching this video in 2022. YouTube recommended me this amazing lecture. I'm trying to improve my speaking in English. Thank you for such a great idea to learn vocabulary. Sure I am going to use on of those💥

Nothing will make you stand out amongst crowd like a large vocabulary. The best way to get what you want in life is through communication.

1-Read
2-Write
3-Use dictionarie just in english, not bilingual
4-Use cards(words) - carry in pocket
5-Learn words in groups(root/synonyms/theme)

Among what you've recommended in this video are these four tips that I find most useful and works for many including myself.
1. Read and listen to as much as you can; There's no need for further explanation to this all-time top priority. You can search and use so many materials on the Internet that comes in handy without having to paying even one single penny for them just like this channel. Yet in order not to be lost in an avalanche of information, I suggest sticking with only one material at a time until you get a full understanding of it instead of searching ridiculously for more and more. Trust me on that. Biting off more than you can chew most likely ends up being another form of procrastination.
2. Use an English-English dictionary; This will increasingly help stop you from translating English into your mother tongue whenever you bump into those 'recognizable yet not clear' words, one major contributor to slowing down your comprehension and thought process while reading. Make sure to get into a habit of looking up new words in an English-English dictionary, otherwise you will never be able to catch a wealth of subtleties each word carries. And the next time you meet those words in context, try to reconstruct their meaning in your own way based on what you can remember from the English definitions.
3. Learn as many synonyms as you can; This has very much to do with the previous one in that they all facilitate the process of retrieving the meaning and usage of words in a much faster way. When I happen to see newly learnt words or phrases while reading(which is a real bonus), I automatically think of other words that can be used interchangeably or make up my own expressions on the spot in order to make them more firmly ingrained in my memory. In this way, I've seen a certain degree of improvement in my writing skills as well.
4. Write at least 150 words every day without the help of a dictionary; Even when you've taken all three steps previously mentioned, chances are that you still find yourself not knowing how to properly use those new words in your own writing. Learning a language is indeed a painful experience since the moment you think you completely made sense of it, it turns its back on you right away. But don't panic! It's no more than a sign that you haven't got the most out of those words yet. While making it a point to include those 'getting on your nerves' words in your writing, make as many mistakes as possible and be a little more forgiving to yourself. Of course, it won't happen overnight but have a belief in yourself that you can pull it off at the end of the day!

He's one of the best teachers I've heard and seen on YouTube. I get understand everything he says even though my english isn't being good. By the way, I increased my english skills around 70% after started to watch his videos. That's incredible and I'm happy because I moved to the US recently and I'm getting to communicate and understand better.

I don't know why, but I've been wanting to learn a more fancier vocabulary. I'm tired of using the basics. I just feel learning more extravagant vocabulary will somehow make me feel more accomplished. 🤦😁 As for learning things from this teacher, he's good! I like how he breaks everything down.

Thank God I found your video. I'm nearly 35yrs old and have poor adult vocabulary. Went for job interview and was unable to correctly answer the interviewer because I didn't understand the meaning of the word being used. Of course the person didn't know this, but I was so embarrassed and realized I missed out a lot in primary school what I was suppose to have learn. I guess u can call that poor education. This has been such an embarrassment for me. Glad I found ur  page and will be sure to take ur tips. Thanks.
