Try to figure out how to say it in English when something comes to your head or flashes across your mind. Let the vocabulary oatmeal into your brain when you have it in your mouth as breakfast, narrator when you sleep with audio program on and his voice in your ears, print when you wait for the papers out from the copy machine, etc. Do this consciously at the beginning and then it will become part of your daily habit, so you can say something naturally in English without a struggle.

Some of the vocabularies escape you when you hear with a text. You may take them as new words to you, but quite on the contrary, you know them well. The reason you fail to recognize them is that they are pronounced in an unfamiliar way. The more you try to make out the special phenomenon on the pronunciation, the more experienced you will become in identifying the sound when it is spoken.

5 Make association between something new you learn and something you have known already

A good learner is good at establishing relation between what you newly learn and what you have known. You will become active and efficient knowing what you get is not an existence isolated. When you get the word exhaustion, you could go a further step reviewing the other vocabularies expressing the same meaning, tiredness, fatigue, and weariness.

6 Find the chance to apply something you learn consciously to daily life

If you learn an expression on novel, try to use it in your article. Apply the tips you get, practice the ways you know, find every chance to use what you have learned, so the knowledge is not something dead or waste in your brain but something flexibly helpful to make your English level more proficient.

7 Try if you have more flexible ways to convey the same meaning

You have more than one way to say the same thing. Change the vocabulary you apply, adjust the structure of the sentence, you may have different options to present the meaning. The more flexibly you make the expression, the more professional you will become in oral and written English.

8 Focus on the pronunciation information based on syllables instead of the spelling of letters only

It is not enough to get the spelling and meaning of the new word without pronouncing it in the right way. It takes pronunciation, spelling and meaning to get the whole information of a vocabulary. It is hard to get it spelled correct if you fail to pronounce it properly. You make memorizing a word hard by ignoring how it is pronounced.

9 Memorize the word in the context based on phrase or sentence instead of remember the word itself

A word has various meaning in different contexts. Remember multiple meanings of it in phrases and sentences instead of wondering how to get all of them memorized solely by getting the spelling via vocabulary list. You will find vocabulary accumulating something fun and effortless if you put it back to the context.

10 Refer to English English dictionary and try to explain English vocabulary in English
