8. Play and Have Fun
Learning a language can also benefit a lot from some general learning strategies. These are playing games and participating in group activities. Get together with your family and friends and play word games together. Some interesting choices are Quiddler, as well as the famous Scrabble and Boggle.
But you don't have to spend money on buying these boxed games. It's easy to come up with your own word activities, too. One example is to create your own version of the game "Word Evening". On a specific day of each week, a different person shares a new word at dinner. The person reads the word, defines it, and the others must come up with a sentence using the word.
Still, you may not have time or want to engage in group activities. If so, there are still many word games available on the Internet. You can play these when you are bored. Or, you can make them part of your daily routine. For example, you could play a quick word game after lunch. Here are some choices:
- Merriam Webster's Word Games & Quizzes
- Merriam Webster's Daily Crossword
- Scrabble or Words with Friends
