Hey,
I'm trying to improve my vocabulary and have found that reading books doesn't do enough because I don't get to practice the words (make sentences etc.) and I tend to forget them before they're used again in the same book.
I was wondering if this is a good book: http://www.cambridge.org/us/cambridgeenglish/catalog/grammar-vocabulary-...
What do you think? Any other suggestions?
Cheers
Hi there,
Hi there,
This is definitely a good book and it's ideal for self-study as well. As you've mentioned, in order to actively (and not passively) learn a word, one needs to actually use and contextualize it. TALK to yourself, make funny sentences! Do use the new words in your daily life. WRITE a short story using the new words if you're into writing. What I used to do was building up a funny story using the new words. I was then narrating it for my mother and a few close friends and it sounded ridiculous. But it did work for me like a charm!
Other suggestions:
1- Do read this article: http://www.languageties.com/en/article/how-to-improve-and-expand-your-vo...
2- Take part in our free virtual classes where you can activate your newly learned words: http://www.languageties.com/fa/virtual-classroom/schedule

Okay. Thanks for all the information. I bought the book (AU$41, not bad)
How about this one http://www.cambridge.org/us/cambridgeenglish/catalog/grammar-vocabulary-...
Is this as good for grammar? And do you think I should buy this (advanced) or its intermediate version?
Cheers,
