How to improve your IELTS vocabulary?

Let's talk about how to make it an integral part of your language arsenal. No complicated strategies are needed—just simple and effective steps.

• Create a study schedule: Create a schedule that works for you. Learning 10 new, essential IELTS words every day is a good pace. Consistency is key.
• Expand your vocabulary: Your personal vocabulary is like a treasure chest. As you learn new words, store them in it and reread them regularly. It's your secret weapon against forgetting.
• Share with friends: Don't keep this treasure to yourself! Practice new words with friends. Turn it into a fun challenge—who can use them in a sentence first?
• Writing: Pen on paper (or fingers on a keyboard) is an effective way to cement new words in your memory. Try writing something—anything—using the words you learn every day.

Focus on speaking: In the IELTS Speaking section, these words come to life. Pay special attention to them. Practice speaking with a friend or even in front of a mirror. The more you use these words, the more confident you will feel.
