Learning a new language always involves memorising a great number of words. Vocabulary repetition although a crucial part of learning is often perceived by many learners as a rather tedious task. Don’t feel like learning by heart long vocabulary lists to become a more advanced user of a foreign language? Well, if not then stop doing it! Applied linguists emphasise that vocabulary growth can be successfully achieved by other means such as listening and reading activities. And good news is that it can even occur incidentally.
There’s an evidence that learners are likely to pick up new words through listening to stories. The more interesting and comprehensible the story is and the more repetition of new vocabulary it contains, the greater vocabulary growth will occur. Now I can imagine that no one will read anything to you. Don’t worry though! Watching movies or listening to the radio can also be advantageous. Isn’t it exciting? Think of all these new words you can learn just through watching your favourite TV series! Importantly, interest provides a very strong incentive to learn. What is more, you can relatively easy guess the meaning of unknown words thanks to visual cues.
