Although there are several techniques to learn new words, it is better to adopt the method that suits you the best.

2. Regularly refer to the dictionary for all the words that you do not understand and then try to make your sentences using those words.
3. It is very important to use the words that you learn while speaking and writing in the proper context.
4. Learn a fixed number of words every day.
5. Try to learn the synonyms for the words you learn.
