Why not expand your English vocabulary?

2018年4月18日

Hello Cafetalk Community!

How are you? I hope you're doing well. One of the fastest ways to improve your English is to develop and strengthen your vocabulary. To varying degrees, most students want to be able to speak English fluently. There's no wonder the English words don't roll off the tip of your tongue if it's not originally in your mind, to begin with, right?

Most of us, often fall into using the same limited vocabulary words over and over again even though there are so many ways to say the same thing.

For example, there are many ways to say: "Good"

excellent

wonderful

marvelous

fantastic

outstanding

splendid

amazing

pleasant

exceptional

super

terrific

stupendous

"Good" is just one word. Can you imagine how many synonyms you can find for each English word? It's fun to look up synonyms in a thesaurus to find other ways to replace the word(s) you usually use.

Thesaurus by Merriam-Webster https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus

Thesaurus.com http://www.thesaurus.com/

English Oxford Thesaurus https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/

Collins English Thesaurus https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-thesaurus

If you'd like to learn and accumulate more vocabulary words, please take a look at my lessons. I would like to work with you to improve your English. I look forward to meeting you! Have a great day!

Warmest regards,

Lady Ayame
