Somebody told me to use the Lyrics of songs I like a lot, so when I ear a song that I like it, I found the Lyrinc, if I found a word that I don`t know, I use the dictionary so when I start sing the song I`ll know what`s the meaning of the song and the sentence when appear the word unknown.. A friend told me to ear music, or a Cd of conversacion on English, and the sub-conscient will record in my mind all word..(this sound a little crazy) but if you want to try.. jeje… well… See ya.. Good Luck!!

Here´s other way to improve your english… whe you watch TV search movies on English with Closed caption.. you´ll learn how sound a word, expression, you´ll familiarize with sounds on the scene.. and you´ll understand what the people mean looking they moves on the screen.. (the body languaje) this have helped me sometimes…

It's really hard to learn new vocabulary, and it's even harder to remember what I've already learned. What helps me a lot is this little program: http://pfquizzz.4fips.com ,which allows me to practise me my vocabulary regularly. You might find it useful as well…

Reading is good, try to read with a dictionary beside you. Songs are good and you can always read the lyrics online, just search through google. You can watch DVDs and pause them when you hear a word you don't know, and look it up. Try to watch the DVD with the SUBTITLES turned on. That way you can listen and read, at the same time. Then you will know what the word is. 

Chatting is good. When I chat I try to use the same words I do in life and, if you have a dictionary beside you, you can look up the words. 

You can also do something simple. Learn the Dolch word lists,for simple words, then try to learn a list a week. There are lots of word lists on Ebaby, on the Internet, just search them out. A list a week will be 52 at the end of the year. Right?
