How to improve vocabulary 

I am going to tell you the simplest way to improve your vocabulary. You need to follow all these points and see a difference in your English speaking in a few days.

1. Try to read books, articles, magazines, newspapers and online content as much as possible. Don't fix any time frame for that because sometimes we forget to do it in that time frame so our focus is distracted. Instead of that try to read in your free time.

2. Try to write down or underline the words which are new to you. If you are reading physical content like newspapers, or books so you can use a pencil to underline the word. If you are using a digital platform for reading, then copy the word and paste it into your smartphone notebook.

3. After completing your reading, check how many words are new to you then make a set of 8  or 10 words as per your capacity to grasp the meaning of those words through an online dictionary and write down the meaning in English as well in your native language.

4. Now, you need to try to use these words in your conversation as much as possible on daily basis. Try to replace the boring words with new words. Revise your vocabulary words in your free time daily, it just takes 10 to 15 minutes. Once you are sure that you remember the meaning then move on to other words.

If you will follow the above steps then you will see a rapid change in your vocabulary.
