Language Tip

Increasing your vocabulary is a good way to improve your communication skills. But what does it mean to learn a new word?

1. Learn the meaning. Look up the definition of a new word in a learner's dictionary. Study the examples to see how it's used in context. Is the word formal or informal? Is it used mostly in spoken English? Is it more common in American or British English? A learner's dictionary will give you this information.

2. Look at the grammar. For example, the word inquire is a verb. You can inquire about something. You can also use inquire + an embedded question, as in inquire whether.../ inquire how.../ inquire when....

3. Find an online dictionary with audio recordings. Listen to the pronunciation. Repeat after the model.

4. Go to at least one more dictionary and compare the definitions and usage notes.

5. Create your own model sentence. Consider making your own audio or video recording. Here are some student models.
