( how to become a tennis player )

I’ve been learning a lot lately about studying languages. It seems that when a lot of people learn a language they want to learn a lot a vocabulary. And because I’m studying Chinese I learned that the word  for vocabulary is 英语生词.

There isn’t anything wrong with wanting to learn a lot of vocabulary as long as you have the right perspective of what it will do.  Here is a great example of this.

In China a lot of people look up the word 英语,  it means “English word.”  Usually their purpose is to memorize a list of English words, and then they think that they will be able to understand conversation when they hear it.

However, if their real purpose is to understand 英语口语, English conversation, knowing a lot of words is a lot different than understanding a conversation.

A conversation requires that people understand word usage and how the sentence should be structured so that the other party understands the communication.

Simply memorizing a list of words does not necessarily mean that the user knows the correct context in which to use them memorize vocab words.

In order to understand conversation, it might be a better idea to numeric be exact word usage that a native uses while at the same time understanding what the background and context were when the choice of words were used for that conversation.

I believe the best way to learn vocab words is not on their own but in context. So maybe the best way would be to memorize dialogue that way you know when to use the words and in what situation.
