My mum did a good job of making my siblings and i develop a rich vocab. She made us read books and newspaper articles, pick out new words, learn the meaning, and use it in making sentences. I'm so used to it that i unconsciously do it till today. Can't have a phone without a merriam-webster dictionary installed😂😂😂. Bless her heart

Can you recommend good interesting books to read that are not boring..I find it so difficult reading books, especially when it's boring

Tip 1- Read wide, articles, blog posts, books, you find a strange word, take note of it and find out what it means and how can it be used in a sentence. Consume media with intent. Tip 2- look out for synonyms to those words, you can be happy, elated, or anger, livid, exasperated. I'm glad you found this helpful. It's my pleasure to share. Tip 3 - Idioms - figurative expressions that add color to your speech, don't take on much work (don't bite more than you can chew), punctuation, paragraph etc you can learn this when you read Have a dictionary and be conscious and aware of these things.

Excellent Job Winnie, reading is a gateway to abundance. 1 read 15 BOOKS every year excluding my bible, articles, and other related career books. The power of reading can never be overemphasized.

whenever you read, always write down something you learn or circle something in the book. This will improve your retentive and retrieval memory. people remember 10% of what they hear - - 20% of what they read - - 80% of what they see. The more you write, the more you see and the more you remember. Also, don't be intimidated to read the same book again and again and again. Always choose motivational books as well

Could you believe that after watching this and putting it into practice, most of the people I have been coming across says wow whenever I speak. God richly bless you dear. Thanks a million 🙏 😊

Thank you Winnie for this episode. Recently, while reading, I came across the word "teetotaler" - used to refer to one who totally abstains from alcohol. It could be used in a sentence like this: "Andrew had a reputation as a disciplined, no-nonsense, non-smoking and nonphilandering teetotaler." I'm elated to add this to my word bank💃.

Nice one. I spent a huge part of my growing up learning to improve my vocabulary from watching tv and reading fairly wide. Nothing beats an eloquent speaker in the face of corporate opportunities.

I need to add this though. Listening to you guys helped me realize something that for a long time I was wondering. English is not my first language. I am learning it. I was born in DR Congo, and at school we spoke French (up until today); I have always loved words. From primary school through finishing high school my favorite classes were dictation, spelling, vocabulary, conjugation, reading, grammar, and even today years later I love words. However, when it was time to pick a major at university, I picked a topic related to finance because it hadn't clicked in my mind that words mattered. That I could make something with the fact that I was good at spelling, dictation or vocabulary and earn a living. I wondered if people in the real world cared if someone could spell right or wrong. I almost that being good with words was useless. And the truth is after I graduate from university, I almost lost my interest with words. But thanks to you guys, I can see how powerful words can be and what they can do for you when you know how to use them. If I could go back to the past, I would pick a different major, but that is impossible. What is possible, however, is I can get back to loving words again. I know better now. You have given me back the motivation to improve and to do something with this skill I have. I consider that I am pretty good with words, but I also know I have a lot to learn and practice. As a full time, stay-at-home mom, I have sometime a lot of free time, so I decided to write a Christian-based blog. It is 8 days old so far. I love writing and this is my way to practice and expand my vocabulary. Your video really cheered me up. To finish, maybe I didn't use appropriate words somewhere there, just know I am an English learner. Bye

One topic I have been looking for. Thanks Winnie 🤗

Hello Winnie and Derin. Thank you for putting together this amazing video. It is very true in my personal life. I have struggled with articulating what I want for a long time that I almost learned the hard way that it is important and even healthy that I say loud and clear what I have in my mind. I enjoy writing and it is one way I use to communicate and feel comfortable because my thoughts flow quickly and much more easily. But I am a mom, I will not write to my children to discipline them; and with my husband when I don't speak it leads to frustration. Being aware of this helps, so thank you!

Pronouncing words properly is something I’ve been taking seriously lately. It’s quite shocking the number of words I figured I’d been pronouncing wrongly. I pay more attention to the movies I watch now and before I use a word, I go to confirm the correct pronunciation and meaning. So much unlearning and relearning to do. 😓 I found this interesting. Thanks for sharing.🤗 Going to follow Derin now. Here are new words I learnt recently from movies: 1. Acquiesce 2. Insatiable 3. Unscathed. It is very important to confirm their pronunciations.
