English is an international language that people in almost every part of the world use for communication. Be it the first, second, or third language, English is one of the most spoken languages in the world. In Indonesia, English is taught at every level of education, from schools to universities. What many people do not know is that mastering English is not as hard as one may imagine. Many people give up in learning the English language due to its intricacy, but once consistency of effort is put into practice, improvements become way easier to see. As we all know, nowadays, English is an in-demand language, especially in looking for jobs, application to scholarships for studying abroad, or even just leisurely traveling.

Vocabulary plays a crucial role when learning any new language, including English. While there are four core language skills—listening, reading, speaking, and writing—vocabulary is the foundation. Without a sufficient vocabulary, it’s difficult to fully understand or communicate in English. A limited vocabulary restricts your ability to speak, read, listen, and write effectively. Therefore, mastering vocabulary is one of the most important aspects of learning any language.

The easiest way to improve your vocabulary in English is to learn at least ten new words every day. That might sound like a lot, but it is with regular practice. Even a little learning each day counts. For example, if you continue learning the word "city," then after some time you will not only be able to use that word in different sentences but also be able to write elaborated pieces of work. Repetition is the key to retaining vocabulary. It is very normal and happens to everybody that one needs to go back and review words they have learned previously because, over time, language learners forget previously acquired vocabulary. Regular practice will help the words stick in your memory for the long term.

It's more fun to learn when learning with others. You practice with friends and share your ideas, and you are able to compare notes. You can use language learning apps, which are quite common these days. You can study on your own with their apps by downloading them to your device.

These are just a few methods to help you learn English from scratch, and not all of them have to be used. Choose the one that works for you. After all, the secret of success is a serious intention and determination to master the language. Once you are committed, you'll find that learning English becomes much easier, regardless of the method you choose.
