Basic English Vocabulary Lessons<\/h2>\nLearn 1000 New Words a Day<\/h3>\n
Most people start learning new words without a plan. They simply try to hear new words and memorize them. But after a few hours, you’ve forgotten many of the words.\u00a0<\/p>\n A strategy<\/em> is a plan to achieve a long-term goal. And the vocabulary strategies in this lesson will surely help you throughout your language learning journey.<\/p>\n These strategies include:<\/p>\n This video gives you the names and the symbols of the first hundred numbers<\/strong> in English. This video is best for regular practice while you start to learn English numbers.<\/p>\n Since it’s very hard for anyone to memorize all the numbers at once, try to learn 10 numbers at a time per day<\/strong>. This will help you review the numbers you learned earlier when you play the video again before learning the next group of numbers.<\/p>\n If you’re the kind of person who likes to learn through music<\/a>, then this video is for you. The video uses the rhythm of the music while speaking out the names of the numbers.<\/p>\n It turns learning the numbers into a fun musical experience. Try it out to see if you like this approach.<\/p>\n The bathroom is usually the first place we go after we wake up. Knowing the names of the objects that you commonly find in the bathroom can be quite helpful for many learners. This is especially true if you’re planning to visit an English-speaking country.<\/p>\n This lesson does a wonderful job of including everything you can possibly find in a bathroom.\u00a0The video uses images<\/strong> to both show you the objects and to give you practice at the end.<\/p>\n Many English learners either start studying English in classrooms or plan to eventually study in a school or a college. Knowing words for basic things in the classroom can help you relax and be confident while you’re there.<\/p>\n This animated video shows you common objects like a blackboard or a textbook, which you’ll find in all classrooms. The video also shows you the spelling of every word while speaking it aloud. That means you can use this video for basic reading practice along with vocabulary building<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The environment<\/em> is the natural world as a whole. We can talk about the environment of the planet or of a specific place. In this lesson, we get to learn the most commonly used English words for this topic.<\/p>\n Since the world is going through a massive environmental crisis, this topic has become quite common in daily conversation<\/strong>. Although the words themselves sound technical and academic, native English speakers use them in informal and causal contexts, too.<\/p>\n For instance, you’ll see many companies use the word sustainability<\/em> in their ads. The phrase\u00a0green movement<\/em> is also very popular now, since some political parties have also adopted this label to describe themselves.<\/p>\n This video lesson will walk you through the environmental vocabulary you need for conversations on such topics.<\/p>\n This one is sort of a bonus<\/strong>. You’ll hear and see some numbers in English, but the main focus is mathematical symbols<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The presenter first names each symbol and then goes on to explain what they do.<\/p>\n The lesson is great for people who’ll eventually go into technical fields<\/strong>. But since this level of math is generally expected of anyone, knowing the names of these basic symbols is also really important for any English speaker.<\/p>\n This easy English lesson focuses on a very specific vocabulary topic: the difference between “well” and “good.”<\/p>\n This is a topic that often confuses even native English speakers!<\/p>\n When someone asks you how you’re doing, what do you say?<\/p>\n There are two common answers:<\/p>\n “I am good.”<\/p>\n “I am well.”<\/p>\n Since these answers are often used interchangeably, many English learners assume that both words have the same meaning. However, the word “good” is an adjective<\/strong>, which means that it’s used to describe or modify a noun. The word “well” is an adverb<\/strong> and it modifies a verb.<\/p>\n Auxiliary verbs might sound complex, but their role is actually simple in English. They’re also called “helping verbs,” because they help the main verb in the sentence.<\/p>\n Do<\/em>, be<\/em> and have<\/em> are the three main auxiliary verbs in English. This lesson gives an in-depth summary of how these verbs are used in informal English<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The instructor focuses a lot on the different forms of these verbs. She also talks about when to use contractions<\/a> and when the verbs are absent in the sentence.<\/p>\n The video is extremely useful for beginners<\/strong> as each section is filled with examples where the important words are highlighted in red.<\/p>\n Modal verbs are a special kind of auxiliary verb that express necessity or possibility. Words like must<\/em>, should<\/em>, can<\/em>, will<\/em> and\u00a0may<\/em>\u00a0are all modal verbs.<\/p>\n This lesson lists out three main mistakes most learners make while learning these verbs. It also gives examples of both correct and incorrect usage of modal verbs.<\/p>\n After this lesson, test your abilities with this quiz<\/a> and see if you understood the concepts correctly.<\/p>\n What do these sentences have in common?<\/p>\n “The car broke down<\/strong> in the middle of the road.”<\/p>\n “The teacher asked Tom to turn off<\/strong> his phone.”<\/p>\n “I will drop off<\/strong> your book at your house today.”<\/p>\n All of them use phrasal verbs<\/em>, a special type of phrase that includes a verb and preposition or adverb<\/a>.<\/p>\n Phrasal verbs are usually very difficult for English learners. In this video, Dawn Severenuk shares a very helpful tip that can remove the usual confusion.<\/p>\n Instead of trying to memorize every phrasal verb, Dawn suggests that you focus on the prepositions and the adverbs.<\/p>\n This is because the meanings of the adverbs and the prepositions usually remain the same in these phrasal verbs. For instance, the meaning of “up” in almost all phrasal verbs is related to finishing or completing something.<\/p>\n This easy technique will help all learners figure out the meaning of a phrasal verb and save a lot of time for beginners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you’re still unsure about your ability, then you can try doing these phrasal verb exercises<\/a> to test your skills. Alternatively, you can check out this video lesson from our YouTube channel<\/a>:<\/p>\n The connection between letters and sounds in English always seems mysterious to beginner English learners.\u00a0<\/p>\n When you’re done with these lessons, it’s a good idea to practice pronunciation the natural way: By hearing native English speakers use the language and repeating it after them. You can do this on a program like FluentU<\/a>.<\/p>\n FluentU<\/strong> takes authentic videos\u2014like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks\u2014and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.<\/p>\r\n <\/p> \r\n You can try FluentU for free for 2 weeks.
