Tips to improve English Vocab. and Fluency
If you know how to handle the verbs, you know how to handle the language. Everything else is just vocabulary. - Michel Thomas
I have discussed, how the people in non-native countries acquire English language skill in my Blog post-1, In this post I am going to provide you with the most important tips to improve your vocab. Vocabulary stock boosts one's confidence, improve fluency, add flavour to the language and finally makes the communication effective, interesting and purposeful. One has to improve the vocab. on daily basis if he/she wants to be successful in job or business or profession. Vocabulary is as important as the grammar of a language. Vocabulary may be a standard word/group of words or a newly coined word/group of words.

1.Make it a routine to look at a new word, its meaning and usage in different contexts in a dictionary. Click Oxford Dictionary
