Those with strong english vocab here lip lai!! Pls give ur 2 cents worth on how can i improve my vocab retention rate? I've come across many words via reading but can't seem to retain them in my memory, tend to forget them easily when i see them a 2nd time, or can't recall that word i wanna use

Ok here's my 2 cent. nahh.
u read, but never memorize properly.. of course u will not remember la..
did u write all the words in a note ? then read them everyday or every week at least once.. plus,, some words are very bombastic, you wont probably use it at all.. so just try to memorize -
Use them... that's the best way.

most importantly, you need to use the word

to improve;
less of SGForums, more of reading.
sometimes, reading the dictionary helps too. it will broaden your vocabulary and make you even more sophisticated.

1. Read, read and read extensively
2. Find out the meanings of new words and the appropriate context to use them
3. Put those new words learnt into your daily practice of the English language so that they become integrated into a part of your vocabulary.

lol, no one ask you use big big words!
just use an alternative phrase to get your point across.
no need to impress girls with big words... they might not understand it too.
2cents 3 cents. -

if you don't know any word, CHECK THE DICTIONARY
and not just skim through... -
