Now I'm sure you already know, right? You are not one of them. You already know that the best way is to learn English vocabulary through listening and reading. Because when listening and reading English, you not only improve your vocabulary but also strengthen your grammar, sentence structure, etc.

Over time, you will become a self-motivated learner. This means you will be able to improve your English on your own without the help of others. And that's wonderful.

Let's talk about the second benefit of this habit.

The second benefit is increased brain power

Just like your muscles need exercise to get stronger, your brain also needs brain training exercises to develop.

Usually the best brain exercises are listening and reading. Listening and reading enhance many of your brain functions.

When listening to someone speak, you must focus on what they say. This increases your attention span. And if they speak quickly, you're also training your brain to process information faster, leading to better comprehension.

Reading books is also a very good thing. Reading books will help you improve your memory. When reading a novel, you need to remember many details such as the names of the characters, the setting, the plot, etc. Some books even increase your intelligence, training you to recognize that information.

Reading books will definitely help you improve your thinking.

These are just a few benefits, there are even many more that I did not mention here.

Now you may be thinking, “Why should I care about my brain power?”

This is because brain power plays an important role in expanding your English language ability. Especially when you are trying to improve your English communication ability.

For English learners, speaking English requires a lot of effort.

Learning to speak English places great demands on many cognitive functions such as memory, concentration, ability to appreciate sounds, reasoning ability, etc.

So if you want to speak English well, you will need a healthy brain with many more abilities.

And by the way, if you don't live in an English-speaking country, this habit is a must.

Because this is the experience I learned from thousands of other students, because they have never set foot in an English-speaking country.

If you are like them, the only way to immerse yourself in English is to adopt this simple but very powerful habit.

I guarantee that you will be delighted with the results you achieve.

How to Memorize English Vocabulary

There are many ways to memorize vocabulary – repetition, writing sentences containing the words you want to memorize, using spaced repetition software, learning vocabulary by topic, using mnemonic techniques, watch movies, listen to music, flashcashs or stick new words in visible places for reminders, etc.

I don't deny that those methods can help you remember vocabulary. But what if for some reason you don't want to use (or can't use) any of those methods?

Let's say you're reading a book that's so interesting that after you look up the word in the dictionary, you just want to keep reading as quickly as possible. There's no time to take out a pen and write a few sentences related to that word. There's no time to take out your smartphone and put that word into vocabulary software.

This is a serious problem. If you are like me, you probably understand these things. In this situation, many people choose not to try to remember all those words. But there is still hope…
