Building a strong vocabulary is an essential part of language learning, but the traditional method of word list memorisation rarely works. This is because language is built on connection, not isolation.
To really learn a new word, you need to know:
how it is actually used (the form)
the words it commonly partners with
what meaning it carries within the specific sentence.
By meeting new words in their natural environment (the context), abstract terms become meaningful and easier to remember, helping you turn passive knowledge into active language you can actually use.

Tips for effective vocabulary learning
Tips for effective vocabulary learning
Keep a log of key terms from your MedEnglish vocabulary builder issues and any new words you may come across. Turn them into flashcards, paper or digital.
If you go for digital flash cards, pick an app with spaced repetition. This is a method that schedules reviews at the specific time to lock words into your long-term memory, making studying more efficient.
For pre-intermediate learners, do not worry if the texts feel challenging at first - this is completely normal! If you need to, feel free to use translation tools. This is not cheating; it is a smart learning strategy. Language experts call this 'translanguaging': using all your language skills to understand, remember and use English better.
