If you'd like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your
vocabulary. In order to do this, you have to practice a lot. I'm afraid there is not a short cut for
this. But there are many effective ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short
stories, comics, newspapers, magazines, etc. depending on your English level. As you read,
you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you
cannot, then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be
your first choice and keep the translator as last. Another way of building vocabulary is to
watch movies in English which will also help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the
language as much as you can. Keep a vocabulary notebook and write down a few Words each
day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate
with people all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one after another, people
most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the order of the words and grammar.
