Learning English vocabulary is a basic and very important part of learning the language. Learning a new vocabulary word means more than just understanding what the word means. To really learn new English words, you must understand them and be able to use the words correctly when you speak or write. You will probably learn English words faster when they are important to your daily life or come from a subject that interests you. A good way to learn English vocabulary is to see and hear many repetitions of the words within a topic or an interesting context like a story or a reading.


Learning English vocabulary is an important focus of the USA Learns website. Each unit presents between 12 and 20 key words from the videos and topics. There are many different activities to help you really learn each word – to understand the meaning, to recognize it when you hear it or read it, and to be able to pronounce it and write it. You will practice the words one by one, but you will also hear and read the words many times in sentences and in the context of the video story.


It’s a good idea to write the English vocabulary from the Learn New Words activity in a vocabulary journal or notebook. You may want to write a translation in this journal or write a sentence using each word. With a vocabulary journal you can review and practice the English words even when you are not on the USA Learns website. Remember, to really learn English vocabulary, you need to see, hear, and use the words many times.
