Pump up English vocabulary!
How do people learn the English? They write information down, read what they’ve written, and say it out loud. They may repeat these three steps a few times, fixing the material in mind, and then they’ll have it forever. Write these roots down, learn their definitions and those of the sample words, and you’ll be taking a large step towards a bigger vocabulary!
