READING for VOCABULARY



READING and VOCABULARY

Here are some very helpful tips from your teacher

 

  #1  Read as much as possible.
    #2 If you come across a word you don't know, write it down or look it up.
  #3  Use a dictionary or use a BROWSER > a computer program   that is used to find and look at information  on the nternet   http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page
Ù If you are reading online, you may be able to right-clcik on a word to look it up.
  #4 Sign up for a 'word a day' email. http://www.merriam-webster.com/
 #5  Think of ways of remembering words. Do they sound like a word in French?


 Remember words are often used togethe 
with other words.  Try to learn these 'collocations'. 
        If you are a beginner you can watch this helpful video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNYNcCZpa9M 
                        

 

 And lastly but not least...
 Don't forget to have fun while learning!
You are discovering and improving your VOCABULARY!!!
