Vocabulary is the fast-track to improving all your language skills! The more vocab you know, the more you can read, listen, speak and write.
The examiner will give you higher marks for using and understanding the more academic style of vocabulary. My experience with learning vocab in another language is this: don’t try to learn very long lists everyday, you will forget most of them. 6-8 words a day, but really learn how to use them in sentences is best. Imagine the improvement in your vocabulary and ability to speak English after doing this for a few months!
