Direction: Pick a strategy to try today. Give it a try and then write about it in the discussion forum. Did it work for you? What new words did you learn? Share the strategy you chose to build your vocabulary.
For me, I choose "Diversify Strategy". What is diversify? It is a strategy to broaden your vocabulary by adding something new on your daily routine. What I did was to listen to a podcast and write down some unfamiliar words that I heard and then look up for its meaning and example on how to use them in a sentence. After that, I try to read news and like what I did on listening to a podcast, I write down again all the unfamiliar words, look for its meaning, look for the example on how to use it in a sentence, and try to use that word in conversation to a friend and some random people in forum.
This one works for me, because every day I have to do new and interesting activity that is not boring.
Here are the new words that I learned by doing this kind of strategy.
1. Taboo - something that is not acceptable.
2. Platonic - intimate and affectionate but non-sexual relationship between people.
3. Albeit - other terms of although.
4. Lethargic- sluggish
5. Inadvertently-unintentionally
6. Quintessential- Perfect
7. Venerate - to feel or show deep respect
