How to learn a million English words

Language-English you are learning are always growing (Paul J.J. Payack), Not like French, "English has the tradition of swallowing new words whole," he said.

TV and some e-books, thinking in that way they can know every word after days of hard-work. However, many college English majors tell me they feel just disheartened in memorizing so many words. After years of accumulating thousands of words, they still meet a great many new words.

Actually, not every English-speaking person knows all words in the English vocabulary. An average educated person knows about 20,000 words and uses about 2,000 words in a week. Just do your best!

Here are some personal tips for reference:

1. Find a way to the language.

2. Try to learn more about the country and their people but not only focus on the grammar.

3. Create an environment for yourself.
