A QUICK Way To Improve VOCABULARY in ENGLISH (Summary)

In this episode, Thiago discusses the concept of word formation and how it can help you improve vocabulary in English. Word formation involves using affixes to transform words into different classes, such as nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. Thiago explains the benefits of learning about affixes, including reducing word count, improving spelling, and decoding the meaning of longer words. He provides examples and encourages listeners to explore this topic further. Thiago also offers tips for studying word formation, such as using an English-to-English dictionary, making lists of words and their variations, and practicing with Cambridge exam prep materials.

By the way, Thiago. This topic is so interesting and essential for everyone. Thanks again for another amazing video.

Hello Thiago. I am leaving you this question to answer later. I downloaded the two books you recommended that teach self-study. Looking at the list of verbs, there are many I didn't know. They are unlikely to be used by me, even so, I took the time to study them. The question is: Is there any method to make learning verbs faster, easier, or more enjoyable? (Considering the time it takes to learn their conjugations: second and third columns).
Every time I think I know enough verbs, more and more keep appearing.
Best regards, Thiago.
