In sat, act prep Mrs. schlaerth has mentioned once or twice that her and Mr.Schlaerth try and learn a couple of new vocabulary words everyday, I have so picked up on this awesome idea. I learned about 15 new words so far. Does anyone else do this or just learn as they go. I feel like this helps my writing and makes me sound more of a professional, educated student in and out of school.

    That's a good idea, should give it a try next time. I usually get new vocab through reading as its one of my past time activities. Also, when making a paper for any class, I look up synonyms for every mundane word I use so that also aids in broadening my word choice.

    This is a great technique, thanks for sharing Nour. I usually just learn new vocabs along the way or when I'm writing an essay and I look up synonyms for new words, as Jeff mentioned. I am definitely going to adopt this new technique to improve my word choices!

    I really do suck at doing things in general. I try to use new vocabulary, when I'm interested but once I start making flashcards and stuff I get super bored. like I just give up. any help with that so I can gain new vocab? it would be good honestly since sometimes we have vocab on test that we don't even know about

      You can take it slow and study a few vocabs at a time so you don't get bored. It's actually proven that cramming a bunch of things all at once can get you confused and leave you not remembering them. What I usually do is I decide how many words I'm going to learn and memorize for let's say a day and throughout that day I manage my time and learn those words as the day goes by. Try to avoid cramming and study as much words as you can but when you start getting bored you should stop and pick up again when you feel like it.

    I also use techniques similar to Jeffrey. However, I also use Quizlet to help me learn new words as well.

    It is a great idea to try to learn new words everyday. I usually learn new words as I go on with the day and ask questions about which words I don't know.

    Great technique Nour! I also use quizlet to study a couple of new vocabulary because it keeps me entertained due to the games that the app includes and it also helps me study the new set of vocabulary words. I hope this helps Nathalie, best wishes!

    I usually read a book that has difficult words so I have to look them up and find out what the word means. It helps me greatly and allows me to read more books.
