Thank you. I am an African American and where I live the black think that being smart is boring. So they have inspired me to get my education and be able to pronouce, spell, and know what a big word means. The grade im in, we have only two accelerated classes, and i am in one of them. Out of the whole grade their are only 4 black in an accelerated class im one of them.
I will think my mom for helping me get there. She is educated, and have work at a prison (made good money), now she owns her own business, and we live in a big house with a lot of cars, and i am able to be in whatever i want cause we have the money. She is my role model, and since she have stressed to me about how important and education is, now every time i bring home a progress report im in the 90s.It also is where i love to learn new things, so im not in high school yet but i am about to learn spanish and french early.

Great Post! I would have to say reading and writing down words you’re unfamiliar with is the most effective way to expand your vocabulary. One step closer to a living life to full potential and expressing yourself to the best of your abilities.

Prior to reading your article, I successfully used—and continue to use—a similar pattern; it at least corroborates your apposite recommendations. In addition to your outline, I recommend studying logic, rhetoric, and Latin—three subjects nonpareil in motivating one’s study of grammar and vocabulary. Memorizing and applying every rule in Strunk and White’s masterwork, The Elements of Style, sways every spoken and written word to the better one. Also, Merriam-Webster freely offers their dictionary app in the Andriod and Apple marketplace; the greatest feature is the ‘Synonym Discussion’, and it is indispensible for developing a practical and nice vocabulary.

Kudos on the apropos article!

Warmest regards,

Jacob

One of my high school English teachers had an interesting game he showed us students. He would grab a dictionary and open it to any page, then he would read each word and state its definition. If he could not say the meaning of the word he would read the definition a couple of times through, remembering it as best he could then flip to a new page and start anew.

Great topic. However, I am not as old as most of the people who have commented here. Therefor instead of praising you, I have a few question. Firstly I am a trilingual male who speaks Russian and Armenian on top of English. When I was a bit younger still in college I used to used word that were common word however when ever I used it around my friend I would have to end up defining the word for them because it was too big for them to comprehend. As time passed I got tired of explaining what everything meant and dumbed down my vocabulary, and now I find myself forgetting the word that I already knew. Since I speak 3 languages, a lot of times I find myself searching for a word because I either have the Russian version in my head or the Armenian. So my questions are, how should I maintain the vocabulary I have without forgetting then because am surrounded by vocabulary challenged people? And secondly since Russian and Armenian are richer languages then English what can I do to remember the English word rather then rack my brain searching to the english equivalent.

or when you use Google chrome or Firefox there are plenty of plug-ins available so you can double click a fancy works and voila..the meaning/usage pops out. That’s how i roll anyways.
