How to improve your vocabulary.

1:Use New Words.Use a word immediately after you learn it.

2:Read Every Day. Once you're out of school, word drills and assigned reading become things of the past.

3:Learn Roots. Learn the roots of words, dive in deeper for information about that word.

4:Learn New Words Every Day.
