Dear ESL All subscribers
from all around the world,
"The
limits of my language are the limits of my mind.
All I know is what I have words for."
Ludwig
Wittgenstein
Not everyone will agree
with the above quotation from Austrian philosopher
Ludwig Wittgenstein, yet most of us recognize
the importance of the relation between language
and the world, as well as the usefulness of a powerful
vocabulary. In a world where most people judge
you by the words you use, second-language learners
are often at a disadvantage. Numerous studies have
shown that a strong command of the English language
is directly linked to career advancement and to
annual income and social success.
Whereas our July
issue dealt with top
online picture vocabulary resources, this
month's issue deals more specifically with vocabulary
building resources including both general and
business vocabulary. Are you looking for vocabulary
lists, quizzes, strategies, tips, tests, or games?
Are you interested in vocabulary software recommendations
or business-specific series of expressions? This
month's selection features resources that cover
all the above-mentioned topics and it has even
a lot more in store for you.
Expanding your English
vocabulary does not mean that you always have to
use long and complicated words. It has to do with
knowing when it is best to use a particular word
in a given situation. Students with larger vocabulary
have the advantage of a greater choice of words
at their command. They can choose the most appropriate
ones to communicate their thoughts in the most
effective ways. Vocabulary building will help you
express yourself forcefully and precisely and this
in turns can have a great impact on your attitude,
actions and also the results that you get in the
world.
Do not hesitate to send
us your comments or questions if you have any.
Happy vocabulary
building!
The
