Focus on Context. This enables you to grasp their precise meanings and usage nuances, making it easier to remember and apply them correctly.
Keep a Journal to record new words, their meanings, example sentences and any notes that may help these terms stick in your brain. Make sure to review this journal periodically to reinforce.
Affixes (prefixes and suffixes) Understanding affixes can help you figure out the meanings of unfamiliar words more effectively or at least give you a place to start.
Use What You’ve Learnt The best way to truly retain new vocabulary terms is to use them and use them often (like every day)! Conversing with others exposes you to idiomatic expressions and colloquial phrases in natural communication. If you don’t have any way to practise new vocabulary with others, you can always write!
