Tips : 7 ways of improving your vocabulary

7 ways of improving your vocabulary:
A key parameter responsible for the success in MBA is a tuned vocabulary.You have to make sure that you have the communication skills needed for a successful MBA.

The 7 best ways of learning vocabulary are:

1. Read a lot:
Improve your reading skills. The more words you encounter while reading, the better vocabulary you will have. While reading, try to figure out the difficult words/whose meanings you don’t know and then look them up .In this way you’ll be exposed to many new words.

2. Practice is essential:
Just reading many new words won’t help you getting success in MBA. You have to use all those words in your daily life. Hence you should practice a lot and use those words both with definition and sentence.

3. Try to connect the word with other simpler words. Say the word aloud to activate your auditory memory. Relate the word to words you already know. For example, the word GARGANTUAN (very large) has a similar meaning to the words gigantic, huge, large, etc. You could make a sequence: small, medium, large, very large, GARGANTUAN. List as many things as you can that could be considered GARGANTUAN: Godzilla, the circus fat lady, the zit on your nose, etc. Create pictures of the word’s meaning that involve strong emotions. Think “the GARGANTUAN creature was going to rip me apart and then eat me!”

4. Always get into the habit of looking up words you don’t know. Have a personal dicionary running with you or have it installed in you computer so that you can search them as soon as possible.
