I've been learning English for almost three years now and I find it very easy to remember nouns. But all other parts of speech are whole different story. And the most difficult part is words with dozens meanings like "smart". It's a very common word and I'm pretty sure anyone know its basic meaning even if (s)he doesn't know English, but check this out: 0. smart girl (clever, intelligent) 1. smart rain (heavy, intensive) 2. smart wine (heady, strong) 3. smart pace (brisk, spirited) 4. smart distance (considerable, great) 5. look smart (elegant, stylish) 6. his eyes were smarting from the dust (hurting) 7. he is still smarting from a put-down (grieving) 8. I hope you'll smart for your carelessness! (pay for) Yay! That's cool, isn't it? "Smart" doesn't look simple now, huh?
Right, write, right. Bat, bat. Red, read... read. Flat land, flat pop, flat of pallets. Horse, hoarse, whores 🙃 I could go on, but yea... English is quite the language
I love Emma's way to remember words so it's why learners need a smart teacher to teach them. If you have a good teacher as Emma, you will save time and money for study!
Japanese, Chinese & Korean all has no more than 500 thousand words counting repeating definition with ancient and new terms .. 150,000 for French, 130,000 for Russian & 100,000 for Spanish .. in average a man use 6000 word in every day English & 40000 the average words knowing by a educated college American ..
Yes, but in number of words is poorer, tones & vowels in usual is to cover up the shirking vocabulary in a dying language, and if they seem to repeat the same word over and over for some people, it is may be for that reason .. Hausa language proverb even simplify that by saying that even a donkey can speak Hausa .. there is even a language in Africa that uses clicks of the tongue which remind us of the Maurice code rather than a language ..
Greek also has huuuge vocabulary and since english and a few other european languages have borrowed some of it her saying that sounds hillarious in my ears xDD
+Chef Derek Butt (ChefB) actually in spanish too, although there feelings I do not know how to say them in English, since apparently there is no translation as: "te amo", "te quiero", "me encantas", "soy un enamorado", "estoy enamorado", "me enamoraste", "me regodeo", etc. So that's why I say in Spanish. bye!
Here I try to explain some words that have no translation from Spanish to English. “Te amo”: I love you (the same). “Te quiero”: someone whom you have affection but not love. Someone who you want much but do not give your life for her. “Soy un Enamorado”: being that feels love for another. (you are that being). “Me encantas”: captivate your attention for her natural attractions like magic. “Estoy enamorado”: I am in love (the same). “Me enamoraste”: give birth and grow your love for her/him “Me Regodeo” : Pleasure or satisfaction experienced by something that is harmful to another. greetings from Mexico!
Hey man there other lagauge also which expresses the whole emotional as u know English that's why r saying this........hindi language also has its unique features
I'm 13, and i've never had any problems with ANY words that my teachers have given me for homework. I already know all of the words but it's spanish that i'm having a bit of trouble remembering the vocabulary of, and i'm swedish.
Hiiii🖐 I was going to say you are young you can do this there is a lot of time etc. But know I see it's been 5 years (you are still young ofcourse)😊 and I wonder how are you did you learn Spanish or another languages😊
impeccable explaination of how to mug up Innumural vocabs which sometimes sweep out from mind , leaving us to fall in peplexity. We who learn English are blessed to have a teacher like you.. keep going.
this is a valid way to learn just for some simple worlds.english has a massive complicated words and sometimes we have to learn by heart the complex phrases that we can not use just this way.
dearest Emma, every time I watch your videos I am amazed at the clear and straightforward way you have of explaining things!!! I am an ESl teacher myself and I thank you for sharing your videos!!!
That is one cool trick Emma! I've heard about similar one before in Mentalist series.(actually it is more about sequence of events, but still..) Protagonist Patrick Jane is like some mental genius and in one episode he was describing similar method as a "Memory Castle". You imagine the best place you know or been (your room for example) and make associations with all the stuff that being stored step by step. Like 1st thing you see when you come in is 1st in the list you have to memorize.Or it can be people
this trick will be quite beneficial because of the nature of our brain. our brain learns, remembers and process information if we use "Association" during encoding of information. our brain is also good in remembering something which is visualized. visualization and association are the cornerstone of this technique. i think spaced repetition along with this technique surely be a panacea for once and for all.
English in comparison with some languages like Persian or Hindi is very young, for example, we have around more than 226 million words in Parsi/Farsi.I am a big fan of your lessons Emma.You are one of the motivating teachers I've seen.
ms Emma thank you all thanks you are a respected teacher in fact, i love all your lessons Help me today, how to help tomorrow myself So, i like to improve English language finally, i wish you all of the best
"I am gifted. So are you!" teaches us this method, too. we can transfer from whatever we want to remember to pictures and use our imagination to memorize them :) However, thanks for your nice video!
English has the largest vocabulary out of every language? I don't think so at all. Actually, I believe it has one of the most limited ones. At least from my experience, english is not even remotely close to german, french and of course spanish when it comes to using different options or alternatives to describe the same thing.
One second, As far as I am concerned English is a rich language in words,. Once I remeber a friend of mine thought English was so limited in words and he said to me in English English speakers use only the Word beautiful , but in Spanish he said so many adjectives , for example lindo, hermoso, bello, atractivo precioso, magnifico, estupendo, grandioso, maravilloso, monono etc.,. And I told him, EXCUSE ME in English we have also a lot of synonyms for that Word: For example Gorgeous, pretty, wonderful, lovely, cute, splendid, good-looking, attractive, breathtaking for a lanscape for instance, marvelous, precious and used in every day conversation He said, I HAD NO IDEA . Please, don't get me wrong I only try ot explain or clarify this point because a lot of peolple think English is limited, but educated people have a wealth of vocabulary. The same happen in Spanish : Many people use the same words . Ok, I find all this pretty interesting. I gotta go now because my daughter wants me to go shopping. BYE
English Power Cap English Power Cap Yes, you are actually right. But that doesn't change the argument. I wasn't suggesting that english is totally limited when it comes to vocabulary, but it is unjustified to say that it has the largest vocabulary of all languages. Other languages are more complex and have different alternatives in the construction of sentences and ideas, something that of course doesn't change the fact that you are describing but it actually makes english more limited in comparison to spanish, for example.
I don't have any friends speaking Arabicas. One day I dreamed Allah spoke to me, he said to me, Mike I will make you speak Arabic. Then the next morning I start speaking Arabic like a natural.
Ayah Al-Sibaai no he was bragging about arabic having more words which is stupid , im a native arabic speaker , you just talk a lot to convey a small meaning sometimes this is why having 12 million words is not a quality it just means you talk a lot and there are lany unnecessary words taht could be neglected.
Interesting video but I am not very good to apply thi method. I learn the vocabulary only when I use them. When speak, write or after that I saw them many times while I read.
Hi Emma, I'd like to thank you for all your useful videos Also I want to tell you that Arabic language has more vocabularies than English. It has more than 12,000,000
I struggle with expanding my vocabulary as well. I scan the news on the Internet and not surprisingly there are lots of vocabulary I do not know of. I watched all videos here and your video helped me as well. I use this as a trick, when I know a word that is similar to new word I am trying to learn, I make a sentence that has both words in it. For instance if I didn't know 'ice-cream' but knew 'cream' as a word, I would make a sentence such as 'I ate ice cream while I was applying cream to my face.' When you use similar words you remember the sentence easily and you remember the meaning. It doesnt have to be cream, it should be a word sounding similar to the word I try to learn, I often imagine the sentence I made up myself to remember the meaning. Then I manage to remember it so often. It works for me. I do the same thing when I learn different meanings of one word, I try to use different meanings in one sentence, it doesnt always produce logical, meaningful sentences btw in both cases.. but your mind manages to remember it anyway. It worked for me. Thank you so much for the helpful videos!
For instance silly but I was learning 'flush' and it has so many meanings. I made up a sentence that goes like 'My face flushed with anger after I learned you didn't flush the toilet after you.' It is silly as you can see but it works, I remember both meanings of 'flush'.
I tried to learn vocabulary using flashcards and I learnt how to write some words correctly and I also learnt their meanings. However when I'm talking to someone else and I need to use those words, then I can´t quite remember. I'm going to use this method, it sounds far fetched but funny as well. Thank you Emma for doing this videos, it's incredible how easy I understand everything you say, and you explain always clearly.
Emma, you're just wonderful. I love your way of remembering some words I didn't know such as "condo"...now I understand what it means....THANK YOU!!! And the idea for imaging picture in the head ...I do it all the time...Thank you Emma once again...
This trick is great :-). It makes it a lot easier to remember words in a foreign language. The first time i heard about it was in a book on learning foreign languages.
this method is intersting to remember the new vocabulary... thank you very much for sharing video. i will attempt to pratice the your methd in learning english....
