Advanced vocabulary in English doesn’t mean learning high level words few people understand. Using advanced English words means have a wide variety of words in your vocabulary so you can speak with clarity and express yourself in very specific ways.
Students who are at an intermediate or upper-intermediate level will find these vocabulary builder lessons very practical. By watching these videos daily, you will find that very soon, your English has progressed to an advanced level.
Here is a transcript of the video: “Advanced Vocabulary in English” . . .
Slide 2:
We use pictures and sentence examples. This is a very powerful way to learn.
Slide 3:
To explain, our brain thinks in pictures and immediately starts making connections and associations when viewing an image.
Like a sponge, the brain quickly absorbs an image linked with a sentence example.
Learning advanced English vocabulary in this way will give you a new confidence and fluency when speaking English!
Slide 4:
Here are some playlists that will really help you expand your English vocabulary and take it to a new level . . .
Slide 5:
First, Correct Word Usage. Be careful using these words which are often confused.
Slide 6:
For example, What’s the difference between an IDEA and an OPINION?
Slide 7:
or between LIBEL and SLANDER,
Slide 8:
or between UNINTERESTED and DISINTERESTED?
Slide 9:
and what’s the difference between STARING and GAWKING?
Slide 10:
Another playlist: New Words – learn words which have been added in recent years to the English language.
Slide 11:
For example, COLLATERAL DAMAGE
Slide 12:
or MAKEOVER,
Slide 13:
and what’s the meaning of POP?
Slide 14:
Another playlist: Other Language Words – learn the most common words and phrases English has imported.
Slide 15:
For example, MODUS OPERANDI
Slide 16:
or COUP D’ETAT

Then there’s Word Origins – remember words easily by examining their fascinating history.
Slide 19:
For example, what’s a CONCOCTION
Slide 20:
and what’s the meaning of CHAMPAGNE,
Slide 21:
and what’s the origin and meaning of ESCALATE?
Slide 22:
Prefixes, Word Roots and Suffixes are three other very important playlists. By learning words in groups, associations and links are easily formed in the mind.
Slide 23:
For example, words with the prefix DE
Slide 24:
as in DETOX,
Slide 25:
or words with the root GRAPH
Slide 26:
as in GRAPHITE,
Slide 27:
or words with the suffix OID

Slide 31:
and then a sentence example with a picture.
Slide 32:
Common synonyms are included
Slide 33:
along with common collocations.
You’ll find The Illustrated Dictionary will really help you build a powerful vocabulary.
Slide 34:
Then we have Collocations in English. Speak English fluently by learning collocations.
Slide 35:
For example, “he did a decision to paint the wall green”. Incorrect.
Slide 36:
“He made a decision to paint the wall green”. That’s how a native speaker would say it. So by learning collocations your accuracy and fluency will really increase.
Slide 37:

Slide 38:
where the student reads along with the teacher reading the words in red.

such as

Slides 42/43:

and again each one comes with an illustrated sentence example,
Slide 47:
and finally, 3000 English Words.
