Most of us feel that our lack of second language vocabulary is an obstacle to more effective communication and comprehension. The evidence from research shows that learning new words and structures of another language requires “conscious mental effort”.
First I need you to understand what we mean by **learning vocabulary**.
We begin by studying words (this stage is also called input or intake). What do we mean by studying a word? What are the things we need to know about a word? Well these questions can be answered easily. We need to know the following about a word:
- How to pronounce it
- What part of speech is it?
- What it means
- How it is used in a sentence
- What words it collocates with
- etc.,
The second stage is called **storage** and the third is called **retrieval** (recall or recognition).
The first and the second stages are the ones which require most of your attention.
Below we will be looking at some practical ways of doing thongs actively at the intake (learning) stage which will lead to more effective storage in long-term memory, and so facilitate **recall**.
**TO BE CONTINUED**

Sorry everyone
It’s been a long day for me. I can barely keep my eyes open.
Good night to you all.

Hi everyone
Hope you’re all doing well. It’s been a looooong time since the last post. I am here once again to post new things for you all.
Before we begin I’d like to thank you all for sticking around and being patient while I was away fixing and solving the problems of the world.
It’s 30th of December and we are about to start a new year. One of the most important things that I believe every human being has to do at the beginning of a new year is to reflect on their past and see if there is anything they can change or fix to improve their life and the lives of those whom they love and care for the most.
Resolutions are the decisions we make at the beginning of the year about things that we have decided to do differently. Take a white sheet of paper and write all your ideas down. Then pick one, only one idea which you think is the most important one, the one that you truly believe will change your life to the better or will add more meaning to your life.
You have to think carefully about what you are going to change in your life. It should be a great idea. One which is worth the time and energy that you are going to invest in throughout the year.
Good luck to you all and happy new year
