Vocabulary

Seriously! I need more vocabulary! I am still looking for some strategies to build up my vocabulary. I am collecting vocabulary when I am reading books or watching movies. If I don't know the vocabulary when I watch movies, I would I ask my American friends to explain for me. I write down the words that I don't understand while I am reading, and then I would check it on dictionary. I like the way that how I learn right now, but I just started it so I'll let you know if my strategies work well for me :)
