- Are you always searching for the right word? Today, we offer our best tips on how to improve your vocabulary. When you grow your vocabulary, it has a positive effect on ALL areas of communication - whether you are speaking or writing formally or informally. Being able to accurately describe your thoughts is an essential component of exchanging ideas with anyone.
If you need to build vocab in a hurry (for the SAT or GRE, for example), try our hints to increase your vocabulary in a directed way. Start by reading - both your current textbooks, as well as other books and articles that interest you. Pay special attention to words you don't recognize. Seize those words and make them yours! Underline them, look them up in a dictionary and thesaurus, and if you still have trouble remembering them, make flashcards. We have another video with advice on how to best use flashcards here:

Words Words Words, and Words of Distinction.

You seem related to Carl Sagan. Also, great channel!
Your channel helped me get an A in my English class. Thank you
How wonderful! But really it was your hard work. We're so proud of you! :D
Esta.mujer escribio con milogo un menzaje cuandllo noloce escribir ha hora llace quien ce encarga deablar mirda pormi solita cedelato ese es milogo esocreollo
The first thing that occured to me at the word "tarantism" is John Travolta and Uma Thurman
Great reference to Pulp Fiction
Wait P.S. = Postscript? Mind blown...
omg.. I never knew
OMG!!! Even in portuguese, we use P.S
@@VictorHugo-bj8gf Well it comes from Latin "Post Scriptum" and your language has a lot in common with it.
A lot of countries in or near the EU have.
I Don't know why this channel is so underrated. I love your channel!
I really enjoy all Socrative videos. They are very instructives and flawless
I love socratica.. but miss the python classes.. please, more python.
Ya. everything Julio Bedaque said. I would love to see some Python vids on says Windows (or whatever) automation, so that we may put into real-world practice, what we have learned.
I like the python videos but would rather see a language like c# or maybe even asm.
Another type of video that would be really well suited to that presenter is electronics. Maybe through teaching us how to build a simple computer step by step.
I completely agree with you and the two previous commenters! I’d love to see more programming languages, and computer science topics in general.
(chuckling) Minimal interruption these days with a simple...
"Hey Siri."
"uh-huh"
"Define someword"
But yes... Totally encourage the underlining approach, even with Siri, for immediacy, and later going back to footnote underlined words.
Thanks for this great tutorial. I am a 44 year-old man who still loves to learn. Big Like!!!!
intonação perfeita, pronuncia perfeita e voz maravilhosa, amei o seu canal ameeeeeeeeeiiiiiii
Does reading dictionary help build your vocabulary? If so should I try to study every words on each page ? Another thing, does philosophy books help build your vocabulary like Plato's republic....
Cual es tuputa afetracion que llo canvie el bocavulario y cino que meban hacer para pensarlo pir que como melodijiste mediste mucho miedo lla noallo donde esconderme llaves
This is dangerous. When in High-school ( a little more than 60 years ago) I used to read dictionaries. That resultet in that my language teacher accused me at creating because I should not know alle these words I used at my age. At that time we also had Latin as volountary Subject, that can be highly recommended. In my country we normally learn 3-4 language anyway so what is one more?
now I understand why Liliana have an exellent voice. Google have it told me. ;-) For this lessions was this the best choice i think. Sorry, for me you was unknown this was a coincidence. Geetings from Berlin
2:35 It isn't tarantula but birdspiders, There's no tarantulas in Americas and there's no birdspiders in Europe where Tarantella dance comes from.
That was great!!!
The flash card idea is brilliant!
I find your videos really really.....good.
I’ll revisit this post in 6 months when my vocabulary is more developed and rewrite it with greater impact
Your channel is wonderful
Socratica...Please make more videos on student life and Educational videos
never use a big word, where a small word will do. -George Orwell
Does reading the dictionary helps build your vocabulary ?
Thanks for the tips✌️nice background ✨
Ablacım! Söylediklerinin ingilizce metnini açıklamaya ekler misin? Google translate ile çeviririm ben onu. Ps. Yanıt bekliyorum
Thank you for all the videos Socratica. It makes learning more fun (for any age).
Bueno la verdad es que me gusta verte a vos aunque te hagas la dura con tanto conocimiento igual me gusta tu rostro y tu tono de voz aunque cambia un poco en otro idioma.
Gracias por este video .
I will see you soon.
You make learning fun and interesting
You're so kind, thank you! We hope we can help more people find joy in lifelong learning. It's made our lives so interesting!! 💜🦉
how to find the greek roots of any english vocabulary? is there a website?
What literature books I should read to build my vocabulary?
Como é que você fala português e inglês tão bem?
Neah, ela fala literalmente melhor do que os nativos, essa garota é simplesmente incrível.

E espanhol, jovem!
Vocabulary.com is also a GREAT way to expand your vocabulary. It combines dictionary, etymology, and thesaurus into a game system to track which words you're willing to learn and which words you currently struggle with. It's also available as a mobile app, though not free (but cheap and it is one-time purchase).
When I was a junior in high school I had this English teacher who was fresh out of teaching college. He was very interesting and one of the things he did was give us a better vocabulary. How he did this was that every day he would have 2 new words on the board that we would have to look up the definition and use properly. By the end of the year we were given a standardized test. I found that I had the vocabulary of the average college sophomore.
Slow and steady is a great way to learn! 💜🦉
Ma'am I need more videos regarding to English grammar
Country called Tuva, huh...
Another vocabsolutely amazing video!
my pronunciation is a heeeeeell!!!!!
Professora janete em socratica.
Tante. Grache
Chibediamo.
Wonderful, natural method, pragmatic, relevant. Thank you very much.
thank you that was very helpful
D'ya know what's wrong with Socratica? Not a darn thing.
It's all just good sense. Refreshing. Erudite. Concise. I love it.
hi.... there your lecture are monumental.... :) Can you please tell what's the meaning of "Socratica"
Is that the problem with the world today? Low vocabulary skills. Maybe cognitive dissonance. A mixture of the two. Great video!
*_LOVE FROM BANGLADESH_*
Totally clear voice and cool noise. Helpful😅😅
I have been keeping word journals for years. This started with small pocket note books in which I list the word along with its parts of speech and brief definition. Now I list them in ‘notes’ on my iPhone. It’s like saving money in a bank except the words are free and in abundance.
Please recommend a book, I bought one (everything's eventual) but it's for advanced readers there are a lot of words that I can't understand, I tried read it and search for each word but they are many. Nice videos. You have a new fan
And if you want a rather easier and productive way just go for The School Of life there is more wisdom than you've ever imagined in your life.
Thank You !
antebellum means before war, where did you found this civil war thing here?
I really need to practice what is said in this video. Hello Socratica, I am dreaming for the day you start making tutorials for java too. Python was great.
Thank you for the useful content.
I've been learning English for 7 months from scratch and what I've realized while learning is that the most difficult part I always struggle with is vocabulary. Honestly, I'm desperate. I don't know what to do in order to improve, enhance a range of words. My room is just literally labeled with English related stuff. Though, it doesn't seem to help a lot. I've been thinking about using these proverbial flash cards for a while... And now I'm gonna give it a try. But, probably, the main reason for my failures is that I'm just not cut out for languages. The dot.
You should have mention context clues treat it as like your solving a mystery. By doing this is reading around the key word should give you an idea of what the word means.
Cin amenasas ami dimelo en micara ok ver que paza ok ami tuninadie meva decir lo que llo tengo que hacer ok cuando quueras arreglamos lo que quieras
As always, a perfect explanation. Tank you.
I have a question regarding archaic or abandoned words in English. I would like to know are there any rules/approaches to recognize archaic/losing its actuality words in English.
If the question has its answer it would be great to make some video for it.
Thanks in advance
I just can't ignore that little, cute and humble support request at the end 😊😊😊
This is asmr, change my mind
It would be nice if someone could make a video on how to connect the most important info and organise them so it all makes sense since everyone is talking about how important that is but no one is actually teaching us how to do it
Thank you. I can catch your english very well.
Super Awesome!. Very informative tutorial, thank you.
thank you
How didn't I know this channel. Amazing video by the way.
I don't think I can take flashcards with me.
I love your voice... So informative 👍🍫
Thank you ma'am 🙏
TIL PS = Postscript.
I'm just trying to talk good, that's it and that's all.
I use dictionary app and bookmark words I find are good words.
What a great way to start the day (watching Socrática).
Colocou um acento em "Socratica", já sei que é brasileiro. hahaha
I’ve started watching “Psi” few months ago and I got happily surprised once I realised Liliana was playing the new Doctor in the series.
Great work !!!
hate spiders……
Thank you so much for this video.
There is no channel I would rather support on patreon than this. When I can I certainly will, and I hope many more will do the same.
Thanks. It is pleasure to listen you.
Creating sentences with those new words helped me alot remembering them, make silly ones for effect
This channel should be so much bigger but not everyone is an intellectual. They're probably watching cats, I guess nothing is wrong with that either.
hehehe we're watching cats right now
