Improving Your Spoken English 4- Carry a dictionary. Carrying an English dictionary with you at all times (whether its an actual book or a phone app) can be very useful. * Having a dictionary means that you will never be stuck for a word. It can save you a lot of embarrassment if youre having a conversation with an English-speaker and forget a word in the middle of the sentence -- all you have to do is take a second to look it up! * Aside from saving you awkwardness, looking up the word you need then immediately using it in a sentence will actually help you to commit the this new vocabulary to memory. * It is also helpful to have a dictionary to peruse throughout the day, during private moments, like when youre sitting on the train, waiting to cross the street or just having a cup of coffee. You could learn an extra 20 to 30 English words per day using this technique! * As a beginner, you should should start with an English dictionary that provides definitions in your native language. However, once your language skills improve, you should switch to using an English-English dictionary, which provides English definitions for English words.
