The Russian language is perhaps the most expressive language in the world.
And the number of words of our great and mighty passes for five hundred thousand.
Well, you just imagine!
Of all these five hundred thousand beautiful words, capable of expressing the beauty of the soul and the world around you, you know from strengths thousands of 4-5, and use even less.
Want to bet?
Come on!
Here's a small test.
Write in front of each next word its meaning( be honest with yourself - nobody looks at you:) ):
- suffragiste
- gentile
- penance
- aberration
- helper
- columella
- frapp
For the first time is enough.
And now tell me, how many words from this list do you know?
And how much do you use? Zero? Not much!
However, do not worry!
It's better to think about how how to increase the vocabulary of and flash knowledge to your friends.
Great and mighty
Friends, I want to say that you( and me for the company) are very fortunate.
Since birth you have received the most powerful and expressive means at your disposal - the Russian language.
There is no other language in the world that can so emotionally reflect the storm of feelings, feelings and resentments.
Sometimes one word is enough to express feelings or emotions, while foreigners need whole sentences.
No wonder the greatest poets sang "great and mighty," and many peoples still sing of our poets and writers.
And knowing what wealth you got is simply ashamed not to use it and be illiterate lazy!
So let's gather with the spirit and think, how to expand the vocabulary of .
And I, in turn, will help you with this.
How to increase your vocabulary: raise the IQ
Naturally, you can never use all five hundred thousand words, and it will be impossible to remember them.
However, I can guarantee you a couple of extra thousand.
But only if you apply the advice received and start working on your lexicon.
So, as a small introduction, I will say that each person's vocabulary is divided into passive and active:
- passive - all words that we know, but do not use,
- is active - all our words are used in everyday vocabulary.
And if your passive vocabulary can count 4,000 words, then the active one is unlikely to exceed 3,000.
So now your goal is to maximize the vocabulary .
Let's go!
Tip 1. We retell and expand the vocabulary of
If you did not like retelling at school, then in vain.
It's not stupid fabrications of teachers, but tasks aimed at developing the vocabulary of a child.
And in the adult life you again have to return to them.
5 recommendations, where to start self-development
What is required of you?
Read a short story or chapter from the book, then tell yourself aloud read aloud.
And try not to use word-parasites.
Retell the text in as much detail as possible using all the words in the text.
Next, compare your retelling with the source and underscore the unused words.
If you do not know these words, then you will have to learn them.
Tip 2. Read aloud and increase vocabulary
Interesting facts:
- There is a so-called basic English, consisting of 850 words. It is believed that this is enough for ordinary life.
- In the lexicon of the works of Alexander Pushkin - more than 20 000 words.
When thinking about how to increase the vocabulary of , start reading all the books out loud.
Why?
Reading aloud, we also supplement our vocabulary.
After all, if you quickly ran through the text with your eyes, unfamiliar words may not sit in your memory.
But when reading aloud all the rare and unfamiliar words will be better stored in memory.
Reading constantly aloud, later you may not even notice how to start using more words and expressions in everyday vocabulary.
Tip 3. Use unfamiliar words and improve the vocabulary of
Remember the main rule: unfamiliar words will never be put into your memory if you just teach them.
Therefore, act differently.
In the evening, choose 2-3 new words for yourself, and the next day try to use them, inserting into sentences.
For example, take the first word "suffragist" and use it in any suitable case.
Your girlfriend refused to go through the door open for her, and you said to her: "Are you a suffragette?"( She reacted briefly to the reaction of your friend - it was funny:) ).
Used in everyday speech, unfamiliar words are remembered many times faster!

Tip 4. Learn by heart verses and increase your vocabulary
When memorizing poems or fragments from your favorite books, the vocabulary is also expanded.
Remembering a poem and pronouncing it out loud, you, therefore, remember unfamiliar words and subconsciously start using them in everyday speech.
