Of course the basis language system- this is grammar, but without an established lexical base, knowledge of grammatical norms for a beginner is unlikely to be useful anywhere. Therefore, we will devote today’s lesson to replenishing our vocabulary and mastering techniques for quickly memorizing new vocabulary. There will be quite a lot of expressions in the material, so we recommend dividing these English words for study into each day in advance, working on 2-3 dozen new phrases and be sure to repeat already studied examples. Before moving on to practice, let’s find out how it is recommended to learn foreign words correctly.

Learning vocabulary is half the battle; it is also important to try to constantly use it, otherwise it will simply be forgotten. Therefore, the main principle of learning English words is not to strive to memorize absolutely every word you come across. In modern English there are about 1.5 million words and stable combinations. It is simply unrealistic to learn everything, so try to choose only the vocabulary that is most used and necessary for you personally.

Let's assume that you have already decided on your area of ​​interest, selected the necessary vocabulary material and started learning it. But things don’t move forward: words are slowly remembered and quickly forgotten, and every lesson turns into unimaginable boredom and a painful struggle with oneself. Here are some tips that will help you create the right learning atmosphere and learn a foreign language easily and effectively.

1. Combine words by meaning, creating thematic dictionaries: animals, pronouns, action verbs, communication in a restaurant, etc.. Generalized groups are more easily stored in memory, forming a kind of associative block.
2. Try it different ways study words until you find the method that works best for you. These can be popular cards, interactive online simulators, and stickers pasted on various items in the home, and applications for tablets and phones. If you perceive information better visually and auditorily, then actively use educational video and audio recordings. You can study in any way, the main thing is that the learning process is a pleasant pastime, and not a boring duty.
3. Immediately remember how to pronounce the word. To do this, you must either refer to the transcription or use interactive resources. Program for learning pronunciation English words will not only help you remember the sound of the expression, but will also check how correctly you pronounce it.
4. Don't throw away words you've already learned. This is very important point. It seems to us that if we learn words for a long time, we remember them once and for all. But memory tends to delete unclaimed information. Therefore, if you do not have constant speaking practice, replace it with regular repetitions. You can create your own notebook with days and rotating repetitions, or use one of the interactive learning apps English language.

The mighty and great Russian language is inexpressibly rich in the variety of words and expressions. We get to know them gradually, while studying at kindergarten, school and university. With a foreign language, the opposite is true: we want to immediately learn all possible words and expressions in English in 5 minutes. Naturally, this does not happen. Moreover, the vocabulary of the English language is no less diverse than Russian. Today we will get to know it better and find out how to study it better and more correctly.

Vocabulary as one of the points of linguistics

The science that studies all the rules and grammatical norms characteristic of a language is called linguistics (or linguistics). It covers huge amounts of knowledge, divided into classes depending on their specificity. One of the most important classes is the lexicology section. What it is?

Lexicology is a branch of linguistics that studies the varieties of lexical units of a language, i.e. All possible words and their meanings. The vocabulary is called vocabulary, and is divided into two main parts:

• Active vocabulary is those words that are often used in colloquial or literary speech.
• Passive vocabulary is outdated and outdated words.

Now let's move on from scientific terms To in simple language and to summarize: English vocabulary is the totality of all words and their meanings. The richer a person’s vocabulary, the easier it is for him to express himself in foreign language and understand other people's speech.

Now that we have formed the basic concept of vocabulary, let's figure out how to learn English words correctly.
