Here are some great tips for remembering your vocabulary and learning new words. This lesson will show you how to learn more than one new word at a time and how to practice learning and remembering words that will improve all areas of your English quickly.
Very useful! I’m also trying to learn 5 words per day at least (taking note of them in a little notebook); and every weekend I make a general review… it’s working very well and I’m increasing my vocabulary this way!
Thanks very much for the tips Adam. I always enjoy your videos! ;)

Very Good!
jailsonsantos193
Thank you so much Adam…
I’m like you, I’m not a big fan of the “root” thing.
So I’m comfortable with the “Function” and “Theme” groups.
Thank you so much for your efforts.

One thing I do every day is write down the full text from the white board in every lesson I watch from this page, with their respective comments from the teacher. Then, I make a fair copy, in order to reread everything, and this way the vocabulary comes to me easier. I have written about 60 lessons in just a month, and my teacher has noticed a significant improvement. So, I share the Adam’s method: Read and write a lot, as much as you can, that works ;).
albertomg
Adam, I know exactly what you mean. :) I prefer to memorize sentences instead of single words because I need context. I can’t learn word by word because it is just a word or just a word on piece of paper — of course, I can stick that card to a thing and this is better than just trying to memorize words from it. But when you have a sentence, you have also a strong meaning, and you can recall the desirable word by thinking about the other words in the sentence.
The writing exercise is also awesome :) Take a look at this: http://imageshack.us/a/img849/1374/dsc00036eu.jpg That was a pretty hard work, almost 3 months of my free time. I once played a game, and I thought that I could translate it. I think no one has ever been playing one game for almost 3 months. :)
morfik
Whoaaaa! That must have taken you ages. What’s your next project?
engVid Moderator
I don’t do this anymore, this takes lots of time but is awesome if you want to start learning a foreign language. I did this a year ago, more or less, and in that time I didn’t even know what I was writing. :) I didn’t know any grammar rules, and I understood only single words — the rest I had to translate. Besides, this is a better way than just translating words because you have to think about every single letter in any word you write. Ultimately you’re starting to see the structure of sentences, some patterns, and if you know grammar, you can easily figure out why a sentence is written in this or that way. And of course, you play a game, so you can see and hear many things, and if someone say to you “go there and kill that dragon”, and you don’t know what “dragon” is, you will find out soon. :)
Now I’m trying to read a lot and write with people, especially in fields that I’m good at. And maybe I’m not perfect (yet), but people understand what I’m writing, and this is really awesome. :)
morfik
Wow. That’s pretty serious. But then, your English is pretty serious too. ;)
You’ve got the right idea– the most important thing to do is learn English while you’re doing something you enjoy.
Good stuff Morfik.
thanks :)

if u’ll scan and share this sheets with us it will be great work.it will be usefull for us.

Thanx a lot Mr. Adam for a good tip
I have a question I’m getting confused with it
What does I wouldn’t wanna be ya ?
I heard this many times from british people
ahmed334
Hi Ahmed,
I wouldn’t want to be you (wouldn’t wanna be ya) basically means they don;t want to be in your situation because it’s difficult or bad. It’s just an expression to show they understand your difficulty.
Adam
Mr.Adam
I ask you if there is an website about taking English with lyrics??
I have recently learned English ,and I want to develop my abilities to listen and speak English

sgmmm
Hi Sgmmm,
There are some books you can buy (or download online if you know where) that will give you good lists. There isn’t an official word list though.
If you know torrents, just look for IELTS or TOEFL in the search box.
Hope that helps
Adam
Hi Adam. thank you very much. Your lesson is very usefull for me, because just begin my adventure with English.

Hi everybody. Thanks Adam for these good advices. I think speaking English we must LISTEN a lot. Have a good job)
ganbashir15
It’s very usefull idea to use dictionary like m-w.com. But when I use this, I see too much unknown words in explanation of the checking word. If I try checking these words, I see other unknown words. And so on… It can be continued infinitely. Finally I have too much words for remembering for one time.
Because of it I use everyday dictionary. But I hope It’s not forever. =)
droneva
Hi Droneva,
That’s why I recommend it.– why learn only one new word? learn a few each time ;)

Adam, I just got 6/10 in that quizz, but I undertood mi mistakes and further more I learned many words, therefore, that lesson was very useful.

Thank you Adam for this lesson , it’s very helpful to maintain our vocabulary and improve it ,by the way I’ve got 70 percent in your test,I hope I do better next time.
marouane10
I suggest one app to improve your vocabulary by flash-cards. It’s a good and funny way. It’s avalaible for PC or smartphone.
ANKI WORD
Thanks Adam for the tips.
xevi
Cool. Thanks Xevi :)
Adam
I tried to use textbooks to improve my English vocabulary, but every time I attempted it I got bored soon. Then I bought an American crime drama TV series, with no translation in my language, and I have started to translate every new word.And, yes, it was much more fun.
As you said, I have written the new words (and the entire sentence, to recall the context).I’ve made a lot of lists. I’ve ordered the nouns and verbs by theme, I’ve made lists with phrasal verbs – different verbs with the same particle, or the same verb with different particles. I’ve made lists with idioms…It’s a lot of work, but I enjoy it.
I still use textbooks for grammar.And your site, of course, and thank you very much for it!

renata13
Could you give us
some ideas how to learn phrasal verbs?
renata13
Hi Renata,
I’m afraid there’s no trick to them. they are basically vocab you need to study. But with thee as well, better to study them as chunks. For example learn
turn on
off
over
up
down
in
out
around
and turnover
turnout
turnaround
etc.
It might be a little easier to retain the info that way
:)

Excellent, I understood perfectly, thank you

sara810
What a pleasure to listen to your lessons.
I would like to make a suggestion:
Could you, or any one else, make a lesson on how to choose the right etiquette at the end of a message or a letter?
For examples I never know if I can use “Best wishes” or “Fondest regards” or “Cheers” and so on.
Bye for now.
jpfromparis
Hi JP
I’ll see what I can do about that. For now, “Best regards,” is probably good for all situations.
Adam
Good job Adam. It’s a great idea to use cards but it would be excellent if you can make app for mobile phones because it’s easier. even for your site and lessons.
Thanks
masoud2040

very useful lesson.
brala
Dear Teacher Adam,
Please help me make a lesson about 02 words ACT and ACTION. Cause each word itself has 02 form (Verb & Noun). Im not really sure how to use them correctly
Thank You Very Much!
chocon6
Hi Chocon,
Not only two forms for each, but several meanings for each as well.
Ideally, I would need to know the context you’d like to use them in. Otherwise there are too many meaning to get into here. Check the dictionary and if you have any particular troubles, let me know. I’ll be happy to help.
Adam
I love Shawshank Redemption too. Also, I have a friend who made an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows XP. Unbelievable.
elisamar
ok.. Adam .. i use oxforddictionaries.com .. but i really fed up with looking for the meanings of the words.. it takes a lot of time, and at the end you are tired.. it takes really a lot of time, sometimes hours to understand the meaning any little story.. it is boring for mee.. i use google.translate but it doesnt give the excat translate to Azerbaijanian language.. when i use oxford dictionary , there are a lot of words on the explanation which i dont know the meanings of these words again.. this is the boring part of learning english for me..i really need to expand my vocabulary..which book can u advice me ? for grammer i use murphy.. but for vocabulary with exercises ? i think it should be much better.. i am intermadiate level.. i am studying this language for 10 years from my school time..of course not every day :) so far i cant increase this language to advanced level.. but when i started to learn Russian 6 months was enough for me to understand and speak in Russian.. but i think every one has to know the excat translate of any word for beginnig, after this you can explain the meanings of words..you explain it hundred times, whitout knowing the excat transalte students will forget it in a brief time, but if they know the translate of any word they will be able to explain it in english.. so advice me some book to improve my vocabulary in an easy way, please :((
fakhranda
I have these problems when learning vocabulary too. If you get concerned to improve vocabulary fast it becomes frustranting really. I watched a lesson by Ronnie which say you must learn about 10 new words a day then doing it every day you will get around 70 new words a week and it’s not bad. When you use google translate, try put just one word to see the meaning so you can find synonyms and gramatical classes of the word. I knew a book called Dictionary Cambridge English Grammar that seems useful. There is the link to download from 4shared http://www.4shared.com/office/xBK2pj6n/Dictionary_Cambridge_English_G.htm Good luck!
sgmmm
Hi Fakhranda,
I know what you mean. Unfortunately, that is the biggest problem with learning vocab– it’s boring and repetitive.But that’s what you have to do- you have to practice and work everyday.
As for reading, as I said in the video, read what you like to read. Whatever you read in your language, find it in English and read that.
Murphy also has a vocab book if you can find it. Otherwise search torrents or other share sites for vocab books. If you find any, you can ask me about them and can look to see if they are good.
keep trying. It’ll come. :)
Adam
Is there a lesson in EngVid about conjunctions? I always get in trouble when I have to use “that” or “which” for example. Thanks
sgmmm
Hi Sgmmm,
There are a few. Use the search box for it.
For now–in adjective clauses:
‘that’ is used as an identifying conjunction, without commas.
‘which’ is used to provide extra information, with commas.
Hope that helps.
I’ll try to make a lesson about these two.
Adam
it is clear but not 100%
so I hope to make english subtitles for your
explanation on video .
thank u very much

What does “So much for something” mean?
Example: So much for talking
The car’s broken down again. So much for our trip to the seaside.
Thanks
henry19
It is an expression of disappointing, when something is over in an unexpected, negative way.In yours examples it means – 1.The talk is over,it is no use to say more. – 2.The trip failed.
arinamg
nice answer
mksji
Hi Henrique,
Arinamg gave a good answer. I’ll just add that it’s an expression of resignation, when you have to admit (in disappointment) that there is no more use in continuing something. It’s useless/hopeless.
Another usage is when you had an expectation and it is suddenly no longer relevant.
Me and my wife were supposed to talk about buying a house. She came home and told she gave the agent a down-payment. So much for talking.
Does that help?
Adam
Hi Adam. Since several months I’m reading in English almost all the time at the point I am no more translating into French (most of the time) and I follow the story in my mind directly. However (transition, remember?) sometimes it happens that the sentences construction seem rather abstruse to me and, if I understand all the words in themselves, I can’t understand the whole meaning. Also, again, I love your pronunciation. By the way, do you slow your speaking down for the students or is it natural? Thanks.
patple13
hi adam.thank you so much for this wondurful lesson and for all other teachers of engvid.please adam make a lesson about past perft continious and present perfect continious and future perfect continious and when we use them?.thanks.
nonozizo18
Hi Patple,
When you come across such a sentence, cut it into its essential pieces — independent clause, subordinate clause(s), phrases, etc, then analyze each separately. That might help.
To tell the truth, I do slow down a bit. For the higher end lessons like TOEFL or IELTS I’ll speak more naturally because it helps those students prepare.
Thanks :)
Adam
Thanks Adam for the nice lesson.

There’s a great way to learn vocabulary, in a sort-of-word-card way. I’ve found a free app called AnyMemo (I think there’s an Android and a Mac version). You can create your list of vocabulary through the app or you can prepare a css or excell sheet and import it; or even import from the website… Then, while using the app, you can check each card with a number, depending on if you know it (3 points), it’s only familar for you 1 or 2 points) or if it’s unknown (0 points). In this way, the app will show you the unknown cards more often than all those that you already known. There are more features rather interesting, as you can also use a text-to-voice machine, so you can not only read but also listen to the words. Or you can change the order and read first the answer instead of its question, change the size and colour of the font, the colour in the background…The app is pretty easy to use. It’s quite useful for me, and I thought anyone of you could be intereste d on it. Oh, I forgot it! Because it can be installed in your mobile, you can practice it wherever you are, as Adam said in his video.

Thanks! Adam!
I’m new here , and I will come to learn English everyday!I like teachers here!The comments is useful too.
I tried with card before, it is a pity i didn’t insist finnaly, i wanna have a try again.
And one my friend share me a good way to remember the vocabulary:
*Do dictation with the new words that you learnt, repeat it!
*Do some other DictationOnline is a very good way to practice vocabulary ,improved many other English skills as well!Currently,I’m practice this dictation: http://www.rong-chang.com/eslread/eslread/dict/contents.htm
Question:
Could you kindly write down the name of two novels which you introduced in this vedio?
Thanks!
Hope it is clear.Oh man, I know the vocabulary, but hard to organize it to be a sentence~
wen.wen
Especially when you highlighted that it’s not enough if you write down words, but you should make sentences with them, you were right. In fact, the more sentences you try to make, the more efficiently can you learn English. What I mean is that there are some cases that a person that studies only one hour per day may be better that another person who works around the clock. This is for one reason: because the former works more efficiently, whether the latter not.
Many people think that you can learn a new language very fast. Gaining fluency in a language is a long-range process. And it can take even years. Of course, by following this steps everyone can succeed, but is not so easy as it may seem, if we see it from a more realistic point of view.

I think it’s still blocked in Pakistan. Try using the Tor browser (or, if you are on a smartphone, Orbot). It may also help to enable HTML5 video on Youtube, so you don’t have to download any plugins.

Hi Mr Adam thanks for the lesson. It is a very good video i have ever seen. But, in my opinion, everyone has their own way to remember a new vocabulary. As you said in the video that we could try CARD (or some people know it as ANKI CARD) CARD and did repetition of it. For me it is rather boring. I prefer to acquire new words by reading novels i like. Cheers! http://kidovatov.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/how-to-increase-your-vocabulary/
kido
I would like to pass the TOEFL exam in the future, so I have a question connected with it. The most popular exams in Poland are the Cambridge exams, so there are a lot of different books preparing for FCA, Advanced (CAE) or Proficiency Exam(CPE). If I learn vocabulary from this kind of books (e.g. http://www.macmillan.cz/img/sp-DestinationC1C2.pdf ), it will be enough to prepare for TOEFL?
Agni Pl
Awesome lesson Mr. Adam, In my opinion your vídeos are best because your pronunciation is easy to understand. I pratice english in the most part playing RPG in vídeo games. It’s good because you need to read a lot what the people are saying to understand what you have to do, online and offline. Online games like world of warcraft, dota, starcraft are awesome cause you can Interact with people of another countries you just need to play in other server. Thanks for the tips.
Edward Graboschii
Hello teacher !! You said that object means refuse !! but what i know that refuse means to reject ! Am i right or both of the words have the same meaning ?
Kim soo wan
Hello teacher! Thanks so much for your useful videos. I find them really exciting . Teacher, can you help me to distinguish these words: hurtful, painful and aching.
Thank you in advance!
Nguyen Anh
Hurtful is used to describe emotions—if something hurts your feelings. “I apologize for my hurtful comments.” Painful describes, well, anything that causes pain, physical or emotional. Aching describes a dull, prolonged kind of pain. Lift heavy things all day and you may find your back is aching. If you’re really sad about something for a long time, you could say you have an “aching heart”.

Dear Adam
It’s not a comment!
thanks to the videos i’ve watched here on EngVid i’m feeling more relaxed. But in my case, there’s a problem i’m facing for next 14 days. I’m taking my first IELTS exam and unfortunately it’s the last time that the test scores can work for me to get my visa for Australia.
I wanna ask a question. So let me be brief and to-the-point:
I have a limited lexical power. My rough estimate is 1500 activated words that can be used in Speaking module. Is it possible to score 6 out of 9 using only 1500 basic activated words + 10 useful words for most frequent cue cards? (provided fairly nice grammar and very good accent)
it’s big kind to give me guidance
thanks in advance
yours
Yavar
i forgot to mention that my average score for listening and reading, based on 9 tests, are 7.0 and 7.5 (General Training)
thanks again…
Yavar
Hello teacher Adams!!! i have a question for u, recently i watch this video and started to make the cards using the words groups, but one in special, wich is JAG, i havent found a sentence related to the meaning ive been studied, like tore, rip, scrape… so can u help me with this???

Congrats and thanks a lot.
coelhoeng
Thank you for you wonderful lessons. Adam! Every time i learn so much. Good idea to use cards with words in one side and sentences on the other, but i wonder if there exist such ready-to-use cards somewhere in pdf format? it would be very good to download, print and study…rather than creating them yourself…
ollgga2805
Adam! I truly believe that using an English to English dictionary help a lot! I was looking some days ago details about the word “feature” and I found some others very interested. Add to that tip, because I’m preparing myself to take the TOEFL,I write everyday new words I could use for the writing and speaking section, hopefully it will help me to get a better score.

I really like this lesson, Thanksso much! But I don’t understand one thing:
Why the question 8 the answer is “heavy”? I have put “sure” and I was looking for the meaning this word and “sure” doesn’t have a verb form. Sorry, but I am confused, I know, probably, It’s a foolish question, so sorry.

heavy is a verb in its self

The best way to increase and maintain vocabulary is by reading and writing.
I was thinking that the correct answer for this sentence is :
The best way to increase and maintain vocabulary (are) by reading and writing.
please i need more explanation , thank you.
Nashwan Nash
The pronoun refers to (way) and it’s singular
Omar raie
I’ve passed the quiz and found the right answer to question #5 is a little bit strange. You tried to explain “explain” verb. I can imagine different processes that can help me understand things better. For example, I show/demonstrate something very well so you understand it. On my opinion “to say how it works” option is better.

I passed the quiz and got 9 correct out of 10. For question “Which of the following sentences best illustrates the meaning of the word explain?”, I answered “To explain is to say how something works.” But test-system said me it was wrong answer. I really don’t understand why answer “The teacher explained the process so well that everyone understood it”, fits more than the previous answer?

I’m like you, I’m not a big fan of the “root” thing.
So I’m comfortable with the “Function” and “Theme” groups.
Thank you so much for your efforts.
It is a very goog lesson,plebse teach more lessons .
Thank you !
Hello
Hi Adam ! As usual, you teach very well. And your lesson, is really useful! Despite you’re a terrific teacher !
I couldn’t agree more with you!
thanks
thank you
thanks
Thanks a lot! You have helped me too much with your videos! :)
Thank you.
Very useful topic. Thanks Adam.
I’m kind of struggling with English to improve my English skills. It seems to be a long way to go, but I’m sure it is worth trying. I’m studying all by myself. I find your lesson very helpful and encouraging. Thanks!
thank you i am so interest to listen all your lessons , your way of teaching attractive me .
Thanks for you suggestions.

One thing I do every day is write down the full text from the white board in every lesson I watch from this page, with their respective comments from the teacher. Then, I make a fair copy, in order to reread everything, and this way the vocabulary comes to me easier. I have written about 60 lessons in just a month, and my teacher has noticed a significant improvement. So, I share the Adam’s method: Read and write a lot, as much as you can, that works ;).
Adam, I know exactly what you mean. :) I prefer to memorize sentences instead of single words because I need context. I can’t learn word by word because it is just a word or just a word on piece of paper — of course, I can stick that card to a thing and this is better than just trying to memorize words from it. But when you have a sentence, you have also a strong meaning, and you can recall the desirable word by thinking about the other words in the sentence.
The writing exercise is also awesome :) Take a look at this: http://imageshack.us/a/img849/1374/dsc00036eu.jpg That was a pretty hard work, almost 3 months of my free time. I once played a game, and I thought that I could translate it. I think no one has ever been playing one game for almost 3 months. :)
Whoaaaa! That must have taken you ages. What’s your next project?
I don’t do this anymore, this takes lots of time but is awesome if you want to start learning a foreign language. I did this a year ago, more or less, and in that time I didn’t even know what I was writing. :) I didn’t know any grammar rules, and I understood only single words — the rest I had to translate. Besides, this is a better way than just translating words because you have to think about every single letter in any word you write. Ultimately you’re starting to see the structure of sentences, some patterns, and if you know grammar, you can easily figure out why a sentence is written in this or that way. And of course, you play a game, so you can see and hear many things, and if someone say to you “go there and kill that dragon”, and you don’t know what “dragon” is, you will find out soon. :)
Now I’m trying to read a lot and write with people, especially in fields that I’m good at. And maybe I’m not perfect (yet), but people understand what I’m writing, and this is really awesome. :)
Wow. That’s pretty serious. But then, your English is pretty serious too. ;)
You’ve got the right idea– the most important thing to do is learn English while you’re doing something you enjoy.
Good stuff Morfik.
thanks :)
if u’ll scan and share this sheets with us it will be great work.it will be usefull for us.
It’s a great job, u r my hero.
thank you
Thanx a lot Mr. Adam for a good tip
I have a question I’m getting confused with it
What does I wouldn’t wanna be ya ?
I heard this many times from british people
Hi Ahmed,
I wouldn’t want to be you (wouldn’t wanna be ya) basically means they don;t want to be in your situation because it’s difficult or bad. It’s just an expression to show they understand your difficulty.
Mr.Adam
I ask you if there is an website about taking English with lyrics??
I have recently learned English ,and I want to develop my abilities to listen and speak English
Thanks Mr.Adam in advance.
Thank you.
Beautiful! Thanks
Thank you sir !
Very helpful lesson! Thanks Adam! A question: where could I find the list of words required by IELTS and/or TOEFL?
Hi Sgmmm,
There are some books you can buy (or download online if you know where) that will give you good lists. There isn’t an official word list though.
If you know torrents, just look for IELTS or TOEFL in the search box.
Hope that helps
Hi Adam. thank you very much. Your lesson is very usefull for me, because just begin my adventure with English.
this lesson is really useful.
thank u it is amazing method =) thank u so much Mrs Adam
Hi everybody. Thanks Adam for these good advices. I think speaking English we must LISTEN a lot. Have a good job)
It’s very usefull idea to use dictionary like m-w.com. But when I use this, I see too much unknown words in explanation of the checking word. If I try checking these words, I see other unknown words. And so on… It can be continued infinitely. Finally I have too much words for remembering for one time.
Because of it I use everyday dictionary. But I hope It’s not forever. =)
Hi Droneva,
That’s why I recommend it.– why learn only one new word? learn a few each time ;)
Adam, I just got 6/10 in that quizz, but I undertood mi mistakes and further more I learned many words, therefore, that lesson was very useful.
All the best to you, Adam. Thanks!
CORRECT:
Adam, I just got 6/10 at the quizz, but I understood my mistakes and, furthermore, I learned many words, therefore, that class was very useful.
All the best to you, Adam. Thanks!

Please, can you explain me about of website dicted or similar site. Because I can´t found it and is very important to me listen and listen english.
Thanks for you class is very exciting everything
Hi Lposada,
Here is one: http://www.esl-lab.com/
for higher levels, check out ted.com
thanks very much , it is very useful site
try http://www.ted.com
Adam, you’re a really good teacher! Thanks for the helpful lesson. I appreciated it mainly the cards’ tip.
Thank you Adam for this lesson , it’s very helpful to maintain our vocabulary and improve it ,by the way I’ve got 70 percent in your test,I hope I do better next time.
I suggest one app to improve your vocabulary by flash-cards. It’s a good and funny way. It’s avalaible for PC or smartphone.
ANKI WORD
Thanks Adam for the tips.
Cool. Thanks Xevi :)
I tried to use textbooks to improve my English vocabulary, but every time I attempted it I got bored soon. Then I bought an American crime drama TV series, with no translation in my language, and I have started to translate every new word.And, yes, it was much more fun.
As you said, I have written the new words (and the entire sentence, to recall the context).I’ve made a lot of lists. I’ve ordered the nouns and verbs by theme, I’ve made lists with phrasal verbs – different verbs with the same particle, or the same verb with different particles. I’ve made lists with idioms…It’s a lot of work, but I enjoy it.
I still use textbooks for grammar.And your site, of course, and thank you very much for it!
good stuff :)
Thanks for your best tips,Adam.Would you want make your next video about vocabulary verity in IELTS exam,specially in writing tasks? It seems everyone needs this tutorial.
arinamg,I appreciate it if you share what you have prepared with me.thanks
Thank
*s
9 out of 10! It’s a good score… Thanks Adam, for the tips!
brazilians are good footballers, would you please teach me football??? Janilza..
I’m afraid I can’t help you…I don’t play football.
Thanks very much Sir to enrich my knowledge.
Would you please teach us how to get the main idea in a paragraph and other skills relating to reading and listening in the TOEFL
Hi Mansour,
I’ll get on that.
Thank you so much.
Thanks Adam,
I can say it’s worth it!
Very good explanation, Adam :)
Could you give us
some ideas how to learn phrasal verbs?
Hi Renata,
I’m afraid there’s no trick to them. they are basically vocab you need to study. But with thee as well, better to study them as chunks. For example learn
turn on
off
over
up
down
in
out
around
and turnover
turnout
turnaround
etc.
It might be a little easier to retain the info that way
:)
Excellent, I understood perfectly, thank you
Thanks a lot Adam
Cool, thank you!
Thank you very much for your lesson, I can learned a lot
Adam i got question is there any website when i can put vocabulary on it and show it to us in 4 forms noun verb adv etc and thak u alot Adam
You are my best teacher :)
thank you adam. i like your lessons…
What a pleasure to listen to your lessons.
I would like to make a suggestion:
Could you, or any one else, make a lesson on how to choose the right etiquette at the end of a message or a letter?
For examples I never know if I can use “Best wishes” or “Fondest regards” or “Cheers” and so on.
Bye for now.
Hi JP
I’ll see what I can do about that. For now, “Best regards,” is probably good for all situations.
Good job Adam. It’s a great idea to use cards but it would be excellent if you can make app for mobile phones because it’s easier. even for your site and lessons.
Thanks
Hi Masoud,
Xevi mentioned ANKI WORD. I haven’t tied it yet, but you can look at that. I’ll look around and see if there are others as well.
Let me know
Thanks Adam.
very useful lesson.
Dear Teacher Adam,
Please help me make a lesson about 02 words ACT and ACTION. Cause each word itself has 02 form (Verb & Noun). Im not really sure how to use them correctly
Thank You Very Much!
Hi Chocon,
Not only two forms for each, but several meanings for each as well.
Ideally, I would need to know the context you’d like to use them in. Otherwise there are too many meaning to get into here. Check the dictionary and if you have any particular troubles, let me know. I’ll be happy to help.
I love Shawshank Redemption too. Also, I have a friend who made an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows XP. Unbelievable.
ok.. Adam .. i use oxforddictionaries.com .. but i really fed up with looking for the meanings of the words.. it takes a lot of time, and at the end you are tired.. it takes really a lot of time, sometimes hours to understand the meaning any little story.. it is boring for mee.. i use google.translate but it doesnt give the excat translate to Azerbaijanian language.. when i use oxford dictionary , there are a lot of words on the explanation which i dont know the meanings of these words again.. this is the boring part of learning english for me..i really need to expand my vocabulary..which book can u advice me ? for grammer i use murphy.. but for vocabulary with exercises ? i think it should be much better.. i am intermadiate level.. i am studying this language for 10 years from my school time..of course not every day :) so far i cant increase this language to advanced level.. but when i started to learn Russian 6 months was enough for me to understand and speak in Russian.. but i think every one has to know the excat translate of any word for beginnig, after this you can explain the meanings of words..you explain it hundred times, whitout knowing the excat transalte students will forget it in a brief time, but if they know the translate of any word they will be able to explain it in english.. so advice me some book to improve my vocabulary in an easy way, please :((
I have these problems when learning vocabulary too. If you get concerned to improve vocabulary fast it becomes frustranting really. I watched a lesson by Ronnie which say you must learn about 10 new words a day then doing it every day you will get around 70 new words a week and it’s not bad. When you use google translate, try put just one word to see the meaning so you can find synonyms and gramatical classes of the word. I knew a book called Dictionary Cambridge English Grammar that seems useful. There is the link to download from 4shared http://www.4shared.com/office/xBK2pj6n/Dictionary_Cambridge_English_G.htm Good luck!
Hi Fakhranda,
I know what you mean. Unfortunately, that is the biggest problem with learning vocab– it’s boring and repetitive.But that’s what you have to do- you have to practice and work everyday.
As for reading, as I said in the video, read what you like to read. Whatever you read in your language, find it in English and read that.
Murphy also has a vocab book if you can find it. Otherwise search torrents or other share sites for vocab books. If you find any, you can ask me about them and can look to see if they are good.
keep trying. It’ll come. :)
Is there a lesson in EngVid about conjunctions? I always get in trouble when I have to use “that” or “which” for example. Thanks
Hi Sgmmm,
There are a few. Use the search box for it.
For now–in adjective clauses:
‘that’ is used as an identifying conjunction, without commas.
‘which’ is used to provide extra information, with commas.
Hope that helps.
I’ll try to make a lesson about these two.
it is clear but not 100%
so I hope to make english subtitles for your
explanation on video .
thank u very much
very god vid!
very good vid*!
Thank you Adam. It’s very useful! ))
thank u :) i hope it would be effektiv way
What does “So much for something” mean?
Example: So much for talking
The car’s broken down again. So much for our trip to the seaside.
Thanks
It is an expression of disappointing, when something is over in an unexpected, negative way.In yours examples it means – 1.The talk is over,it is no use to say more. – 2.The trip failed.
nice answer
Hi Henrique,
Arinamg gave a good answer. I’ll just add that it’s an expression of resignation, when you have to admit (in disappointment) that there is no more use in continuing something. It’s useless/hopeless.
Another usage is when you had an expectation and it is suddenly no longer relevant.
Me and my wife were supposed to talk about buying a house. She came home and told she gave the agent a down-payment. So much for talking.
Does that help?
Hi Adam. Since several months I’m reading in English almost all the time at the point I am no more translating into French (most of the time) and I follow the story in my mind directly. However (transition, remember?) sometimes it happens that the sentences construction seem rather abstruse to me and, if I understand all the words in themselves, I can’t understand the whole meaning. Also, again, I love your pronunciation. By the way, do you slow your speaking down for the students or is it natural? Thanks.
hi adam.thank you so much for this wondurful lesson and for all other teachers of engvid.please adam make a lesson about past perft continious and present perfect continious and future perfect continious and when we use them?.thanks.
Hi Patple,
When you come across such a sentence, cut it into its essential pieces — independent clause, subordinate clause(s), phrases, etc, then analyze each separately. That might help.
To tell the truth, I do slow down a bit. For the higher end lessons like TOEFL or IELTS I’ll speak more naturally because it helps those students prepare.
Thanks :)
Thanks Adam for the nice lesson.
thanks
Thank you Mr.Adam it is really very useful videos for me .
I like the way you teach, it’s just make the lesson seems much easier!

I like your method and style
thanks a lot
congratulation !
There’s a great way to learn vocabulary, in a sort-of-word-card way. I’ve found a free app called AnyMemo (I think there’s an Android and a Mac version). You can create your list of vocabulary through the app or you can prepare a css or excell sheet and import it; or even import from the website… Then, while using the app, you can check each card with a number, depending on if you know it (3 points), it’s only familar for you 1 or 2 points) or if it’s unknown (0 points). In this way, the app will show you the unknown cards more often than all those that you already known. There are more features rather interesting, as you can also use a text-to-voice machine, so you can not only read but also listen to the words. Or you can change the order and read first the answer instead of its question, change the size and colour of the font, the colour in the background…The app is pretty easy to use. It’s quite useful for me, and I thought anyone of you could be intereste d on it. Oh, I forgot it! Because it can be installed in your mobile, you can practice it wherever you are, as Adam said in his video.
Good way of learning
thank you a lot Adam for your interested with that lesson was really important topic and i start to make english now …….good luck

I m trying to be a small writter but I still have this problem in learning new vocabulary words :'( it’s really hard for me to translate it in arabic and french -_- any way thnx for this lesson it’s really helped me ;) <3
thanks
Thanks! Adam!
I’m new here , and I will come to learn English everyday!I like teachers here!The comments is useful too.
I tried with card before, it is a pity i didn’t insist finnaly, i wanna have a try again.
And one my friend share me a good way to remember the vocabulary:
*Do dictation with the new words that you learnt, repeat it!
*Do some other DictationOnline is a very good way to practice vocabulary ,improved many other English skills as well!Currently,I’m practice this dictation:
http://www.rong-chang.com/eslread/eslread/dict/contents.htm
Question:
Could you kindly write down the name of two novels which you introduced in this vedio?
Thanks!
Hope it is clear.Oh man, I know the vocabulary, but hard to organize it to be a sentence~
Especially when you highlighted that it’s not enough if you write down words, but you should make sentences with them, you were right. In fact, the more sentences you try to make, the more efficiently can you learn English. What I mean is that there are some cases that a person that studies only one hour per day may be better that another person who works around the clock. This is for one reason: because the former works more efficiently, whether the latter not.
Many people think that you can learn a new language very fast. Gaining fluency in a language is a long-range process. And it can take even years. Of course, by following this steps everyone can succeed, but is not so easy as it may seem, if we see it from a more realistic point of view.
thank you adam for those advice
THX Adam. It’s useful for my English understanding steps. Greatest work!
this medhod is very helpfull , thanks for your smart tips :)
Thank you so much.Your lessons are brilliant!!!You are teach great.
Adam can you help me?I know words but often I forget them. I know how in english but I cannot remmember translate.

hello, how are you all , so i’d liked that lessons , so i still follow that programmes yet but actually i need to practise them on the ground so if someone have would like to share with me on english conversation on skype that’s be okay
thank you a lot , wish all that be fine ( balonga22) my skype ID welcome with everyone .
thank you so much!!
i don’t know how and when i can use “However” and “rather than” ,so could you please Mr ADAM give us a special lesson on that???????
Adam,
thank you so much for your advice.
I’m making great strides since I learned these useful tips.
Now studying is more fun!
Youtube is not working here what should i do???
I think it’s still blocked in Pakistan. Try using the Tor browser (or, if you are on a smartphone, Orbot). It may also help to enable HTML5 video on Youtube, so you don’t have to download any plugins.
thanq…so…much…
Adam, your enthusiasm helps me a lot. Thanks!!!!!! : )

Thank you adam.
thanks
Thanks
Hi Mr Adam thanks for the lesson. It is a very good video i have ever seen. But, in my opinion, everyone has their own way to remember a new vocabulary. As you said in the video that we could try CARD (or some people know it as ANKI CARD) CARD and did repetition of it. For me it is rather boring. I prefer to acquire new words by reading novels i like. Cheers!

I would like to pass the TOEFL exam in the future, so I have a question connected with it. The most popular exams in Poland are the Cambridge exams, so there are a lot of different books preparing for FCA, Advanced (CAE) or Proficiency Exam(CPE). If I learn vocabulary from this kind of books (e.g. http://www.macmillan.cz/img/sp-DestinationC1C2.pdf ), it will be enough to prepare for TOEFL?
Awesome lesson Mr. Adam, In my opinion your vídeos are best because your pronunciation is easy to understand. I pratice english in the most part playing RPG in vídeo games. It’s good because you need to read a lot what the people are saying to understand what you have to do, online and offline. Online games like world of warcraft, dota, starcraft are awesome cause you can Interact with people of another countries you just need to play in other server. Thanks for the tips.
Hello teacher !! You said that object means refuse !! but what i know that refuse means to reject ! Am i right or both of the words have the same meaning ?
Hello teacher! Thanks so much for your useful videos. I find them really exciting . Teacher, can you help me to distinguish these words: hurtful, painful and aching.
Thank you in advance!
Hurtful is used to describe emotions—if something hurts your feelings. “I apologize for my hurtful comments.” Painful describes, well, anything that causes pain, physical or emotional. Aching describes a dull, prolonged kind of pain. Lift heavy things all day and you may find your back is aching. If you’re really sad about something for a long time, you could say you have an “aching heart”.
I got 8 of 10.Thanks for your lessons.
Thank you. Teacher I have a question. I don’t know how to play a role perfectly in English.
I’m really inspired!!
Thanks, Adam!

Dear Adam
It’s not a comment!
thanks to the videos i’ve watched here on EngVid i’m feeling more relaxed. But in my case, there’s a problem i’m facing for next 14 days. I’m taking my first IELTS exam and unfortunately it’s the last time that the test scores can work for me to get my visa for Australia.
I wanna ask a question. So let me be brief and to-the-point:
I have a limited lexical power. My rough estimate is 1500 activated words that can be used in Speaking module. Is it possible to score 6 out of 9 using only 1500 basic activated words + 10 useful words for most frequent cue cards? (provided fairly nice grammar and very good accent)
it’s big kind to give me guidance
thanks in advance
yours
i forgot to mention that my average score for listening and reading, based on 9 tests, are 7.0 and 7.5 (General Training)
thanks again…
Hello teacher Adams!!! i have a question for u, recently i watch this video and started to make the cards using the words groups, but one in special, wich is JAG, i havent found a sentence related to the meaning ive been studied, like tore, rip, scrape… so can u help me with this???
Thank you so much Adam

It was fruitful experience for me by gaining the theory for Vocab.
Thank you.
I like your lessons, it’s useful
Thanks a lot. I need to buy a pile of papers to carry them with me all the time.
Thank you very much Adam. I use your videos in my English class and my students like you very much. You speak clearly and they like listening to you without getting bored.Also, they want a video about present perfect tense if you can :)
Thank you.
thanks
Thanks :)
I like your lessons thank you so much
Alex, I’ve never seen a video on EngVid with a lot of comments like this. i think it’s because some people want to improve their English skills and, consequently, their vocabulary. Then, this video class can help us how we can do that.
Congrats and thanks a lot.
Thank you for you wonderful lessons. Adam! Every time i learn so much. Good idea to use cards with words in one side and sentences on the other, but i wonder if there exist such ready-to-use cards somewhere in pdf format? it would be very good to download, print and study…rather than creating them yourself…
Adam! I truly believe that using an English to English dictionary help a lot! I was looking some days ago details about the word “feature” and I found some others very interested. Add to that tip, because I’m preparing myself to take the TOEFL,I write everyday new words I could use for the writing and speaking section, hopefully it will help me to get a better score.
Thank you adam

hi Adam
thanks a lot
although some people love the card way , I prefer reading novels to improve my vocabullary.
thanks alot it was an informative lecture.
Thanks a lot :)
I really like this lesson, Thanksso much! But I don’t understand one thing:
Why the question 8 the answer is “heavy”? I have put “sure” and I was looking for the meaning this word and “sure” doesn’t have a verb form. Sorry, but I am confused, I know, probably, It’s a foolish question, so sorry.
heavy is a verb in its self
Thanks a lot Adam
I want to ask u .. how can i know the other forms of words?
from where?
Thank you,very useful.
Thank you Adam! :)
Thank you, Adam! I got 6 correct out of 10.

The best way to increase and maintain vocabulary is by reading and writing.
I was thinking that the correct answer for this sentence is :
The best way to increase and maintain vocabulary (are) by reading and writing.
please i need more explanation , thank you.
The pronoun refers to (way) and it’s singular
I’ve passed the quiz and found the right answer to question #5 is a little bit strange. You tried to explain “explain” verb. I can imagine different processes that can help me understand things better. For example, I show/demonstrate something very well so you understand it. On my opinion “to say how it works” option is better.
Thanks . Really I’m suffering with this problem .
Thank you !
Thank you
Thanks Adam
I got 100 :) thanks Adam.
your video are very good,thank you
Thank you, Adam. It is really helpful.
Thaank you! it is very useful.

I always have studied english listin to you and I really the way you explain it, so tha’s why I very often choose your lessons. I am brazilian and I confess that it’s been very hard for me to practice english, once we hardly ever meet americans in the town where I live, but I keep on this task. It’s been 43 years of utter dedication to improve english skills.
I’d like to thank you for the best way you teach english. It’s been a pleasure to follow you.
Best regards,
Edilson Sozinho (from Macapá- Amapá- Brazil)

A bit complex but okay
thanks Aden
Thank you ever so much Mr. Adam.
I passed the quiz and got 9 correct out of 10. For question “Which of the following sentences best illustrates the meaning of the word explain?”, I answered “To explain is to say how something works.” But test-system said me it was wrong answer. I really don’t understand why answer “The teacher explained the process so well that everyone understood it”, fits more than the previous answer?
hello everyone,I want to find some teaching English websites.Can anybody show me some websites that are very helpful and free like Engvid? Thank for helping
Good lesson, thank you adam.

It is a helpful video and I want to watch more helpful videos on engvid. Can you recommend for me please?
