How to keep new words to hand

Keeping a vocab book is a really good way of making sure that you are always in a position to expand the bank of words in your mind. When you come across an unfamiliar or particularly attractive word in a book, newspaper or in conversation, make sure that you jot it down.

However, you must try not to let the act of jotting the word down conclude your relationship with it. Try and use each new entry in the coming days. Familiarise yourself with its meaning and use it wherever opportunity allows – in an email, in your own writing, at work, in conversation or even in a game of scrabble.

It might seem strange to use these words in such contexts and no doubt you’ll have to explain yourself for more elaborate examples, but simple use is the best way to ingrain them in your mind so that you have them ready when you need them.
