*Important advices by Adam* 1) First, use context to keep in mind 2) skip a very high-end word (If you see it again or the third time, then yes, look it up so you have it in your vocabulary base.) 3) If you need to know this word to be able to make sense out of the whole paragraph, then of course, look it up. 4) search engine - Just type: "Use 'mitigate'"-or whatever word-"in a sentence." 5) If you really want to improve your language quickly, you have to build vocabulary. If you want to build vocabulary, you have to read. And conclusion: 18:52 Be patient, be motivated, be hard working, and I guarantee you your English will improve very quickly and you'll be able to speak about anything, read anything, write about anything because you will have the vocabulary for it.
Thank you Adam! Although I have learned English for several years, I do not know how to use English dictionary correctly. This channel obviously makes my English skill better and better. thank you
There is no denying that different words and phrases are used in various meanings, but sometimes it is hard to understand complicated words unified together in phrases and you have to think a lot about meaning of this words, especially when you are not native. Thank you for this lesson, recommendations are very useful , that's why I continue watching your lessons)
I really liked to watch your lessons. I live in a town in the south of Brazil nearby Argentina and I studied at a english course for a couple of years with brazilians teachers called CCAA . I have to say that It's very better when I watch your videos. Thank you very much.
I instinctively started using this technique when I began reading books written in English. My knowledge of the language was at best mediocre. Today, hundreds of books later I have improved A LOT. There is a problem with this method though: even though I can even read legal or other scientific documents in English without any problem at all, if you ask me to translate what I just read to Greek I cannot do it as easily. Why? Because I can understand exactly how the words are used, but I have not assigned a Greek meaning to them, so it's hard for me to translate a text quickly, because I know that the translation I am doing does not match exactly the original text.
Teacher, Adam. Most of the time, I use the dictionary to see the phonetic symbols and for them I can pronounce the new words. My ambition is to have an accent of a native. I like canadian accent. I appreciate your classes a lot. Thanks for these videos that you make for English students.
thanks for your video, it's very useful. Because I'm come from Vietnam, i always use eng-viet dict. And now, I feel so excited when using eng-eng dict, i can learn more new vocabularies and guess the meaning of them. Thank you so much and keep going, i always support you, Adam!
Thank you so much.... I'm practicing English alone, but with your hints I believe my efforts have been more productive. I'm using flashcard as you suggested at another video and I'm reading more. In fact I bought a book and an audiobook ( same text) and listening at the same time I'm reading. In the beginning was hard, but after 2 chapters I feel comfortable. That strategy give a pace to my reading and give me straight to keep going far and far .... and I want more.... thank you again!!
Now we also have apps like audio book, where they have lots of variety and you can even choose a book of your choice. so that you don't have to hold two things, I think it will be more easy and convenient. Hope this will be helpful for you.
Hi Adam, this lesson is very important. Many students have problems to improve their English because they use the dictionary incorrectly. Thanks a lot.
Hi Adam, I am Mauricio I follow you some months ago, Currently I am learning English, my level is not very good, but I feel very well because when you explain something almost always I can understand you. You know explain fine, I think that you are a good teacher, although many times I can´t understand all that you say, I can understand the main idea of the class and I try to keep in my mind your recomedations about the topic. Please forgive me for my bad writer. I hope you can understand me. Have a good time and thank you for your help and for your explanations too.
i can understand 80% this video talking about how to use dictionary althought i don't know a lot of word, he is so amazing and great. he said the most wonderful things. it's easier to understand.
Thank you, Adam. You are so right about using the book dictionary than the online ones. I prefer to use the book ones as well, and it just happens what you have said about to bump into another word that you have seen before. So you learn more...
Hello Adam. I like your idea of learning english in very quick way. I think it refers to how mom and dad teach their child to speak. Initially child learn 1 word then 2 words and when he or she become 10 yeard old boy or girl we could be sure that this child knows about 20000-50000 words. For me it is amazing. And when I watch your high quality and fully essential videos I think you bring about changes in my mind.
Oxford has a series of stories that are just simple versions of great novels. They range from level 1 -the easiest- to level 6 and they don't cost much
Hi Adam.... ur lessons are quite useful.... got overall 7 bandscore in ielts in first attempt😊with bandscore above 7 in each module....its only for writing task that i need some guidelines.... for effective writing skills!
Great info, In my opinion, using a tablet(>=8 inch) with paid dictionary or an ad free one will be better than physical dictionary. Pros of digital dictionary 1) faster lookup 2) you can track lookup history 3) mobility 4) light weight 5) new words are up-to-date
Thanks for this pivotal information. I really enjoyed your explanation from the beginning to the end and made sure i have learnt a lot from this video... In my view, It's advisable to get to know about how to use something before using to save a lot of times and energy... Love you ❤
I totally understand what he explained in the video and agree with his opinion that we should use an English-English dictionary to look up English words but I myself always want to know the meaning of a word in my language in case that I will have to translate it to my native language. How should I do? Maybe I should double check using both dictionaries..
Thanks for this video. I'm Russian and I've been learning English since July. I understand all what you tell us, but there's a problem when I'm going to speak with foreign people - my vocabulary start to crash, I can't speak very well cause of I start to think and select words in my head. Can you tell us how to speak without any stoppage?
Thank you so much for this useful lesson. . I want to improve my English by reading but I don't know what exactly should I read. can you please guys advice me for a book to read? I want it simple and interesting. Thank for your help.
Hi Mustafa. I don't know what is your exactly level of English. However, I recommend you make a choice of book with a story that you enjoy. So, while you read it, you'll find new words and you should look up in the dictionary. If you like fiction, for example, I recommend you "Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë". It's a good story. The level of that book is literature for intermediate to advanced level students.
+Jairo Euzebio Hi! thanks for replying. my level is between beginner and intermediate. I'll look for your suggestion too and I'll read it. I find the stories more interesting than just searching random word to learn. In addition to learning you can enjoy the story and get information about different subjects😊.
on the same time, i searched this key words and... your video recommend with youtube. and yeah i already subscribed your chanel since 3 months ago. that's great advice. Thank sir. You really helped me a lot. Sorry for my bad english. I'll try my best :)
hi adam this is Amine your videos was useful for me even im beginer unfortunatly when i was in school in 90" we dont have internet. but ok i can learn english with you thanks!!!
It was a really useful lesson . Thank you very very much , and by the way I didn't know all the three words which you put a line underneath but I start to guess as you said and I guessed right for the first two and the third one I thought it was compensate .. Thank you again 🌺🌺🌺🌺
Hello! Yes because I am learning english now but I need to speak more with someone. I live in Venezuela. I speak italian too maybe you are interested. My email is : annavisentini@gmail.com
Does Meriam have a CD on it? I used to have an oxford English-English dictionary, I never used the book itself, but its CD. It stays on top while reading, and by the help of cursor finds the word on the dictionary and saves a lot of time and makes the reading faster of course. Because I am in the USA, I do not want to use it anymore. I would love to have the same type of dictionary but American English.
*Important advices by Adam*
1) First, use context to keep in mind
2) skip a very high-end word (If you see it again or the third time, then yes, look it up so you have it in your vocabulary base.)
3) If you need to know this word to be able to make sense
out of the whole paragraph, then of course, look it up.
4) search engine - Just type: "Use 'mitigate'"-or whatever word-"in a sentence."
5) If you really want to improve your language quickly, you have to build vocabulary. If you want to build vocabulary, you have to read.
And conclusion:
18:52 Be patient, be motivated, be hard working, and I guarantee you your English will improve very quickly and you'll be able
to speak about anything, read anything, write about anything because you will have the vocabulary for it.
But you only mentioned search engine not an Physical dictionary
Thank you very much. You are the greatest teacher who I've ever seen.
I wish all the native- speakers spoke English like you do! Your pronunciation is always clear as well as you explanation. Good job, thank you!
yo bro. He is English teacher. Obviously he did not speak as fast as he often do with native.
You are doing great job Adam, thank you!
He is a great teacher! We'd like to invite you for visiting our channel too. Let's learning English together!
Thank you Adam! Although I have learned English for several years, I do not know how to use English dictionary correctly. This channel obviously makes my English skill better and better. thank you
After learning these words I then translated them to German and medieval English, very helpful indeed
Simply the best English teacher ever. Although I've known all of this it's just pleasant to listen.
Adam is the BEST teacher I have ever seen.
There is no denying that different words and phrases are used in various meanings, but sometimes it is hard to understand complicated words unified together in phrases and you have to think a lot about meaning of this words, especially when you are not native.

Very good explanation. I practice my English in this way.
I know how to use it ! My school taught me I use it when there is a word I want to use and make sure its the proper term that fits
I instinctively started using this technique when I began reading books written in English. My knowledge of the language was at best mediocre. Today, hundreds of books later I have improved A LOT. There is a problem with this method though: even though I can even read legal or other scientific documents in English without any problem at all, if you ask me to translate what I just read to Greek I cannot do it as easily.

I like canadian accent. I appreciate your classes a lot.
Thanks for these videos that you make for English students.

thanks for your video, it's very useful. Because I'm come from Vietnam, i always use eng-viet dict. And now, I feel so excited when using eng-eng dict, i can learn more new vocabularies and guess the meaning of them.
Thank you so much and keep going, i always support you, Adam!
Thank you for teaching us how to use the dictionary. It's very helpful.😊

Hi Adam, this lesson is very important. Many students have problems to improve their English because they use the dictionary incorrectly. Thanks a lot.
