Tips

  • Try different languages.
  • You can put them in alphabetical order if you wish or put them in different categories.
  • Keep it slow. Try to make your maximum three words a day or 15 per week.
  • Use Dictionary.com (flashcards).
  • Know how to say all the words you collect.

Warnings

  • This is mostly for literature lovers, intellectuals, and multilinguals. Words aren't exciting to those who don't like them.
  • You may want to collect a lot of words in one sitting. This is NOT advised. Try to keep it slow.
