How to keep up with newly learned words?
0 Hello friends, 02 br
02 br
00 I know this one is an oft-repeated question - How to keep up with the newly learned words? 02 br
02 br
00 I learn some new words from newspaper and I will learn their meaning from the dictionary. 02 br
00 But I find it very difficult to get-back the meaning when encountered, say after a week. ie I tend to forget the meanings. What can I do, so that I'm able to keep them live in my memory? 0-

00 Meanwhile reading Novels is one of the best way to improve one's vocabulary. But do we need to refer to the dictionary each and every time we face with new words? A novel might have lots of new words in each para and ofcourse in each line. If we keep on refering to the dictionary, our interest in reading the novel will get affected. 02 br

00 Depends on what your goal is, bvpraveen. 02 br
02 br
00 For me, the easiest way to learn a word is to see it over and over. Increasing my exposure to the same set of words is the way to do this. And that means exposing myself to the same sort of reading material over and over again. 02 br

0 Praveen, do you read novels in English? It might help, you write down some idioms/expressions, and then try to use them 0-

0 No, I don't read english novels! Atpresent, I'm busy with my placements. I will start reading them after getting placed in some company. 02 br

0 Well, at least you can keep track of them. 02 br
00 And if you read books by the same author, you're bound to see tha same idioms etc used "many" times, so you'll get the idea of their mood, and of when & where to use them. 0-

00 If you start reading novels, you can sort them according to the subject too: medical, psychological, courtroom drama etc... Every author has their own vocabulary, you'll see. 010id 1
