You have a pretty decent quotidian vocabulary. Why should you learn new words?
With every new word you have new nuances and subtleties that give life to your verbal expression. A robust vocabulary enables you to describe and employ words to suit your every mood.
There are many approaches to learning new vocabulary. I believe the most effective approach is natural, organic acquisition. It typically takes multiple exposures to a new word in context before it begins to register on your vocabulary radar.
What I aim to do with the Advanced Vocabulary posts is expose you to words that you may or may not hear in everyday conversations. Let’s work with these words to understand what they mean and how to use them.
Daily I introduce new vocabulary. You can subscribe to get posts delivered to your inbox, or search this site for a word you recently heard or read. Write a sentence using the word in the comments on that word’s post. I will provide feedback and corrections, so that you may learn by doing, and also gain the benefit of other students’ practice sentences and respective feedback. By creating your own sentences you engage with the new word as an active learner. This yields the highest payoff to you.
Integrating more complex vocabulary words into your lexicon gives you more mastery of the English language and boosts your English level beyond the rudimentary.
