Did you know that learning new words can help to improve your memory? Yes, that’s right! The reason behind this is that when you learn new words, you make use of both short term and long term memory. It's a known fact that when you learn new words, you gain confidence in communicating with others. Vocabulary gives us the confidence to communicate effectively. As a student, when you possess a rich vocabulary, you can actively participate in conversations. A large vocabulary helps not only in speech but also in writing.

Importance of Learning New Words 

The process of learning new words provides exposure to new concepts and increases knowledge. Whether you want to become an engaging conversationalist or a creative writer, learning vocabulary is the way to go. Learning new words also helps to develop a reading habit. As author Rudolf Flesch said, ‘’You can't build a vocabulary without reading. You can't meet friends if you stay at home by yourself all the time. In the same way, you can't build up a vocabulary if you never meet any new words. And to meet them you must read. The more you read the better.’’
