It may not be the most spoken language in the world, but it certainly is the most accepted language in social, cultural, and business settings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you are representing your school in a debate competition, or are sitting for an interview with an MNC, good language skills can surely provide you with that added edge. Proficiency in English can also help you score well in most competitive exams since it is one of the skills put to test. Good communication skills are an asset to have, in every walk of life.

How to Improve Your Vocabulary<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2728 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/06141906\/June-III_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2133\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/06141906\/June-III_1.png 2133w, https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/06141906\/June-III_1-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/06141906\/June-III_1-770x385.png 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2133px) 100vw, 2133px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever been inspired by someone\u2019s speaking skills and word usage and they left you in awe of their personality and confidence? Be it professional or personal life, it\u2019s the power of words which will help you network with people, and lay an impression on them. A good sense of vocabulary enables you to write, speak, and communicate better in every sphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many wrongly perceive vocabulary as having a huge stock of words at your disposal, or the way to confuse people with fancy and complicated words. But instead, it is the most effective form of communication,\u00a0 the art of using the right words at the right time. A good vocabulary is all about choosing the right words with greater precision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few hacks that you may use to improve your vocabulary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Learn New words &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you see a difficult word while reading a book, simply jot it down in your notebook. Don\u2019t just look for its meaning and move on to the next one. Instead, understand its meaning, look for its usage in different situations and when you feel you have known enough, try inculcating the word in your daily language. The more you use it, the better you will retain it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>A Word. A Day &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set a target of familiarising yourself with one word per day. Ensure that you revise all the words you learnt during the week, before moving on to the next set of 7 words, for the next week. The focus should not be to fill up your vocabulary book but to be able to use those words without any strain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Read to Learn &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As obvious this advice may seem, read. Reading is an integral part of our lives and we can\u2019t ignore the fact that reading evolves our mind and broadens our knowledge base, lets us see the world with a different perspective, and of course adds to our word power. It exposes one to different usage of a single word, and thus adds a lot to their existing vocabulary book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cA capacity and taste for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others.\u201d \u2013 Abraham Lincoln.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In today\u2019s world, there is no dearth of reading material available. Newspapers, websites, blogs, e-mails, reports, books, magazines, etc. are all available in plenty. Start with any topic that interests you but don\u2019t read for the sake of reading. Try and comprehend what you are reading. So, take small baby steps and enter into the magical world of reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Online Resources to Improve Your Vocabulary<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Vocabulary.com &#8211; <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a platform that combines learning tools, and games, allowing you to retain and learn new words through a game, thus making it fun and interactive.

Do you make sentences in your head before speaking to make sure you are not making any grammatical error and its sounding perfect? If so, you definitely need to visit the good old Wren &amp; Martin and get your basics right. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grammar is the root of English language, and many times, wrong grammar can severely play with our confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s look at learning a few <strong>techniques<\/strong>, to improve your grammar usage: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Grammar Games &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of my favourite grammar games is the word chain. This is one tricky game that requires fast thinking and creativity. Now the question is how do we play it and how does it help us with grammar?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We start by forming a group of people and giving them a word which fits the desired theme. Restrict them to specific parts of speech like nouns, verbs or adjectives. The person has to start off the game with the last letter of the word provided.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say you\u2019re practising with adjectives and started with \u201cwonderful,\u201d then the next person might say \u201clazy\u201d or \u201cloud.\u201d This helps you to increase your thinking ability and rightly distinguish between varied forms of speech, which is the very first rule of grammar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Grammar, Let\u2019s Be Friends! &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have a friend who always has a habit of pinpointing grammatical mistakes, and you pretty much don\u2019t interact with them, for the fear of getting insulted? Let\u2019s be friends with them instead, and make it a point to converse in English, no matter how many times they correct your grammar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next step at your end should be to go home, classify those mistakes, and write it on a paper. Since this is coming from a friend you won\u2019t feel bad and when learning is done with fun, it always adds more value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch Movies\/TV series &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Well, a common advice on every point. Read, write and speak more. Do you watch English TV series or online videos, movies, or lessons? If not, this can be a great way of improving your English in general, and getting the hang of the grammar and its usage in specific.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Some Online Applications to Improve Your Grammar<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>English Grammar in Use<\/strong> <strong>&#8211; <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The official English Grammar in Use , written by Raymond Murphy, includes a starter pack of 6 units through which, you can learn all the basics of grammar with detailed explanations, examples and a complete guide to all areas to focus on when learning grammar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This has been the world\u2019s best-selling book, and now is the best official application for learning grammar effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>7 Little Words &#8211; <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a fun learning game where you have to unjumble the words to fit in the required sentence?

Be it an interview, a conference, a presentation, or a reunion with school friends, you need the right confidence, and verbal skill set to speak in front of people without hesitation. Good communication skills are one of the major prerequisites to any kind of professional role you wish to pursue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, I am sure you don\u2019t want to be the one sitting quietly in a group, flooding with thoughts and opinions inside, but unable to put it in words. So, how do we get out of this situation?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s discuss few ways through which you can improve your spoken English:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Speak to Yourself &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever imagined a conversation in your head about an important event? Be it a social meeting with friends, or an internship interview at your dream company, the best way to go about it is to try to create a situation in your head and speak to yourself in the mirror, with the intent of conquering the event. Don\u2019t stop even if you get stuck, instead focus on the idea of expression more than words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t Focus on Grammar but Fluency &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know it seems contradictory, but whenever you are trying to bring in fluency, never focus on grammatical errors. Don\u2019t fear to say the line just because you might make some tense mistake there, this would break the flow and the confidence thereafter. You can fill in the grammatical errors with time. Just try and speak confidently, and you\u2019ll be understood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Practice Tongue Twisters &#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tongue twisters are a series of difficult words, which you have to say in one go without giving a break.

It is one universal way to improve all other dimensions of the English language like grammar, vocabulary, and language usage. Regular reading habits will strengthen your word power, improve your grammar, and help you to compare and differentiate between good and bad writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few <strong>tips<\/strong> how to develop a reading habit for good. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Start Easy &#8211;<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a beginner, don\u2019t rush too fast to read books which are a little difficult to understand. Give yourself a sufficient bracket of time to read a whole book, be it as long as a couple of weeks at the onset. Begin slowly, with a genre you like, maybe the magical saga of Harry Potter, or an adventurous book like Gulliver\u2019s Travels. Your interest will pull you through the entire book, making your reading time enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Understand the Purpose of reading &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are just skimming through the chapters, reading too fast at the cost of comprehension, the purpose of learning is defeated. Make sure whenever you read, you are able to comprehend the meaning intended. Reading can be an advantageous skill only when utilised in the right manner. With time, the reading speed, grasp, and comprehension will all come at the same pace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Summarise at the End &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you complete a book, try to summarise the intent of the book, and make a few pointers in accord with your understanding of the book. This will help you channel your writing skills along with reading skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no as such specific online application for developing the habit of reading. One may, however, browse websites, google topics, articles, Quora answers, subscribe to blogs, or download books \u2013 the possibilities are endless. One just needs some discipline while reading, and with time they can overcome the challenges associated with learning English.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5.\u00a0How to Improve Your English Language Usage<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2732 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/06141921\/June-III_5.png\" alt=\"How to Improve Your English Language Usage\" width=\"2133\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/06141921\/June-III_5.png 2133w, https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/06141921\/June-III_5-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/06141921\/June-III_5-770x385.png 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2133px) 100vw, 2133px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not always about how fluently you can speak, or how grammatically correct you are, you also need to understand the proper usage of words in sentences.

For the learner who is looking for patterns in language, this can be annoying as it has to be learned case by case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a general rule, one must remember that if the mistake fails to comply with the generalizable rule for all members of that word class, then it is a grammar mistake.
