Learn how to improve your English vocabulary by following the advice in this video. In this video, I explain why reading is so important for learning new English words and I give you tips and advice on what books, magazines and newspapers to read and where to find them. I mention both American English and British newspapers and magazines. I then recommend some word games which will help you learn and remember new vocabulary while having fun. Watching English television and films / movies is an excellent way to increase your vocabulary and I suggest a good method to choose words to add to your journal. It is essential to use a good dictionary and thesaurus to look up new words and to take notes in a journal of related synonyms and antonyms. Other things to note in your vocabulary notebook or journal are example sentences, the context and the IPA phonetic transcript to help with the pronunciation. All the advice for learning new vocabulary will help improve your general level of English in all areas (reading, writing, listening and speaking) English Prefixes Lesson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKDa52iTRFQ English Suffixes Lesson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucX5iHGwS_k Here are the playlists of my English lessons: Grammar lessons:    • learn English grammar   Listening exercises:    • English listening practice   Vocabulary videos:    • learn English vocabulary   Private English lessons & speaking practice: http://goo.gl/r8NfwJ Andrew, Crown Academy of English http://www.crownacademyenglish.com/ https://twitter.com/Crown_English null Photo credits: "Charming Young University Girl" Image courtesy of stockimages | FreeDigitalPhotos.net "Student With A Red Book Learning Intently" Image courtesy of stockimages | FreeDigitalPhotos.net "Front View Of Boy Sitting On Books" Image courtesy of imagerymajestic | FreeDigitalPhotos.net "Corporate Man Reading News At Outdoors" Image courtesy of stockimages | FreeDigitalPhotos.net "Business Newspaper" Image courtesy of Gualberto107 | FreeDigitalPhotos.net "Woman In Waiting Room" Image courtesy of Ambro | FreeDigitalPhotos.net "Boggle" By Stilfehler (Own work) [GFDL (gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC-BY-SA-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.0 (creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons "How to use dictionary" - New Oxford American Dictionary (Oxford University Press) "Thesaurus" Image courtesy of thesaurus.com | Roget's 21st Century Thesaurus, Third Edition Copyright © 2013 by the Philip Lief Group.
