Expand Your Vocabulary and Memorise New Words to Improve Your Speaking [086]

When you want to improve your speaking, it’s important to expand your vocabulary. When you expand your vocabulary, you elevate your mental dictionary and give yourself the chance to use words that are more descriptive, precise and articulate.  But learning new words to expand your vocabulary isn’t just a matter of picking up a dictionary. It requires a more thoughtful process of finding the right vocabulary, recording it, memorising it and using it. When each of these steps are performed in the right way, it will definitely help you to commit new words to your mental dictionary so you can recall them at a later time and improve your speaking. In this episode, I talk about:5 Steps to expanding your vocabulary so you can improve your speakingHow to find new vocabulary to learnThe word journals that I use for Japanese, French and English vocabularyDigital apps to learn new vocabulary, record and memorise those wordsEbbinghaus Forgetting CurveMoving new vocabulary from short term to long term memory using Spaced RepetitionUsing new vocabulary to memorise it betterThe first word you should put in your word journalResources that I mentioned in this episode:Moleskin Notebooks or Paperage notebooks (for word journal)Leuchtturm1917 notebooks (for word journal)Digital Apps for vocabulary building: Vocabulary.com, Vocabulary Builder by Magoosh, Word a Day WidgetEP081 Articulate Complicated Thoughts ClearlyKara’s YouTube channel playlist for “Be More Articulate and Well Spoken”Learning & Development Video Courses!Assertive Communication Skills MasterclassBusiness Etiquette 101: Social Skills for SuccessPowerful, Confident Body Language for WomenLeadership Presence 30 Day ChallengeBecome Known as a Go-To Expert!Download 21 ideas on How to Become Known as a Go-To Expert:   https://www.executive-impressions.com/gotoexpertseriesCheck out Shortform, the world’s best book guides!Check out books on Shortform to help you be more articulate!
