Hello. My name is Emma, and in todays video we are going to talk about learning new words, and some tips and tricks that can really help you with this. Okay? So, English has one of the worlds largest vocabularies, and every year there are more and more words that come into the English language. So, every year I learn new words, and every year I hope you learn new words, too. So, in this video Im going to talk about how we can really learn all these new words well, and how we can get a really deep understanding of these words and really know what they mean. Okay?
So, to get started, Ive drawn a beautiful picture of a guy who kind of looks like Charlie Brown, and I have here HIS SKULL IS OPENED, and you can see at the top... I dont know if you realize what that is, but thats his brain. And the reason Ive drawn this is because when were learning new words, what were really doing is were taking new words and were putting them into our brains, and were storing them in different ways. Okay? So, what we want to do is we want to find the best way that makes our brain really happy when were learning these words, because that will help us remember them better, and learn them better.
So, Im going to talk about maybe a word that I learned recently, and I want you to think about maybe the last word you learned. Okay? Because thatll help you in this video to think about a word that you have learned recently. The word I learned recently was "binge-watch", and Ill be talking about this word to give examples when we talk about how to help your brain learn new English words.
So, there are four areas were going to be talking about today. Were going to be talking about meaning and thats, like, you know, understanding a word. Understanding it, and knowing how to use it and when to use it. Were going to talk about spelling. A lot of people dont know this, but spelling is very important when youre learning new words, and Ill tell you why. Were going to talk about pronunciation, which is another key and another very important area of learning new words. And then the grammar of the words-okay?-which is also very important.
Each of these areas-meaning, spelling, pronunciation, and grammar-each of these are ways your brain stores a new word. Okay? So thats why each of them is very important. Your brain, when you learn a new word, it stores it based on the meaning, on the spelling, on the pronunciation, and on the grammar, so thats why were going to look at each of these areas today and think about them when were learning a new word. So, lets get started with meaning.
Okay, so the first thing were going to talk about is a words meaning. Okay? What does it mean? So this is, of course, very important when youre learning a new word because, you know, without knowing the meaning, how can you use the new word, right? So, I have here some questions that I like to ask myself when Im learning new words, because it helps me to think about whats important about the word, and also it helps me to make more connections with the word, and that will help me remember the word more. Okay?
So, first of all, I like to ask myself when I see a word maybe that I kind of know: "How well do I know this word? Do I know it really well? Do I use it all the time already? Have I never seen this word before? Maybe Ive seen this word before, but I dont know what it means. Or maybe I kind of know what it means, but Im not really comfortable with it." Okay? So I usually ask myself, if I see a word: "Have I seen it before? Can I guess what it means?" Okay?
Do I understand the word? And this is different than: Can I use the word? Because when were talking about understanding, were talking about, you know, reading. When you look in a book and you see the word written, can you understand what it says? And were also talking about listening. When you hear someone say it, do you know what theyre saying? Do you understand the word when theyre...? Theyre using it in a sentence? So, we have understand, which is about reading and listening, and then we have using it: Can I use the word? And this is: Can I use the word in conversation or when I talk? Can I use the word in writing? […]
