English vocabulary
The best way to build your vocabulary in English is to increase your contact with the language. That means you need to read and listen to English every day. The more you see and hear new words, the more your vocabulary will grow.
However, don't worry if you don't remember them all. It takes time to build your vocabulary. The first two or three times you see a word, you might not remember it, or you might not feel confident to use it. That's perfectly normal. For this reason, you need to see words several times in context to really start to understand them.
This collection of video lessons are all organised into different categories to give you access to some of the most useful words on these topics. They will really help you to grow your vocabulary so you can talk and write about these different topics with much more confidence. As you watch, use a notebook to write down the words you really want to remember and use.
