10 ideas on how to learn and remember new words ‹ Ingleks

In the article we will talk about ten Internet resources that will help you learn and remember new vocabulary. Tasks for every taste - from classic tests with filling in gaps to crosswords and puzzles.

Memorizing new words is perhaps the most important part of learning a foreign language: the richer your vocabulary, the more accurately you can express your thoughts. Mastering English vocabulary should not be reduced to the monotonous cramming of endless lists, on the contrary, it can and should become an exciting activity. Today we will share with you resources with which you will not only test your vocabulary, but also learn a lot of new words. Bookmark everything - you will have something to do in the next couple of months.

For your convenience, we have indicated which tests each resource offers, as well as what level of students they will be useful for. Pay attention to the explanations:

General vocabulary - not limited to topics, extended knowledge test.
Thematic vocabulary - collections of words on topics (family, food, animals).
Functional vocabulary - knowledge of synonyms, idioms, ability to use a word in context.

Also, for each test, we indicated the required level of English proficiency:

  • A1 - Beginner, Elementary
  • A2 - Pre-Intermediate
  • B1 - Intermediate
  • B2 - Upper Intermediate
  • C1 - Advanced
  • C2 - Proficiency

1. British Council

With the help of the British Council resource you will work on thematic vocabulary, it will suit students from Elementary to Upper-Intermediate.

The British Educational Resource offers many useful resources, including a large vocabulary section. The site has two sections: for beginners and those who speak the language at an intermediate level. Each of the sections consists of thematic collections. Topics may seem standard (food, clothing, appearance, interior, animals, health), but in each of them you will find words that are unlikely to be found in textbooks.

You can test your knowledge by matching words with pictures. You can learn the correct pronunciation with the help of audio prompts. To consolidate new words, do a few exercises: fill in the gaps, write down the words from dictation, collect the words into sentences.

If you can't decide which topic to start learning words with, we suggest the following: Snacks and Desserts in Britain (for Elementary - Pre-Intermediate) and Tools (for Intermediate - Upper-Intermediate).

2. Cambridge Assessment English

Cambridge Assessment English tests thematic vocabulary. The resource is suitable for students of Elementary - Advanced levels.

Cambridge Assessment English offers a wide variety of exercises to help you learn English. Those wishing to check their vocabulary just put the Vocabulary filter and choose any topic they like. The exercises are divided into levels, pay attention to the color of the cards: blue - for beginners (Basic), green - for those who are fluent in the language (Independent), red - for advanced users (Proficient). For each exercise, it is written how long it can take you to complete it. For many tasks, not only the correct answers are given, but also explanations.

For beginners, we advise you to take the Natural world facts quiz - like the same words, but the tasks are much more interesting than standard exercises with pictures. If you have a good command of the language and are confident that you know enough, challenge yourself and try to guess the names of household appliances by listening to advertisements in the What’s the product? test.

3. Learn English Today

Learn English Today is a resource with word games and puzzles for students with English levels from Elementary to Advanced.

In the Wordgames section, we recommend paying attention to crossword puzzles. Start with easy (easy) and medium difficulty (medium), and then try something more difficult (more difficult). The Challenging section is suitable for those who want to break their heads. Solving words in a crossword puzzle, you not only repeat vocabulary, but also train spelling.

The task itself has everything we expect from a crossword puzzle - definitions and explanations of words, cells that need to be filled in with letters, and hints in case you want to know the first letter, as well as the second, third and further in turn. Be careful: you do not get points for open letters, even if you guess the word in the end. After finishing the crossword, click on the Check button - you will see the points earned (the number of correctly written letters) and errors (the cells will turn white again).

4. Exam English

Exam English is a resource where you can check both general and thematic vocabulary, it is suitable for students of Elementary - Upper-Intermediate levels. The site was created for those who plan to take any language proficiency exam.

There are few tests in the Vocabulary section, but each one is worth your time. First of all, precisely because they are all designed for a control check of knowledge before the exam, and therefore, cover the most necessary vocabulary.

50 question quiz is a comprehensive test that will help you assess your vocabulary. If you want to test your ability to express your feelings and thoughts, take the Personal Feelings, Opinions, Experiences test, and with the help of the Holidays test you will prepare for a trip abroad.

Some tests have a See all words button below each question. By clicking on it, you will open a complete list of words used in the test, with definitions in English and examples of usage.

5. English Tests Online

With English Tests Online you can check your general vocabulary. The resource is suitable for students from Elementary to Advanced.

There are tests for all levels, each consisting of 20-30 multiple choice questions. This site will be especially useful for students of the Upper-Intermediate (more than three dozen tests) and Advanced (about twenty tests) levels.

We advise you to pay attention to groups of special tests, for example, knowledge of prepositions (section Prepositions Tests) and phrasal verbs (section Phrasal Verbs Tests). Please note that tests without level markings are suitable for the Intermediate level.

In the Everyday Vocabulary section there are traditional thematic tasks, among which we recommend choosing one of the tests about sounds: Sounds Test or Human Sounds Tests.

6. Longman: Vocabulary Section

The Vocabulary Section on the Longman explanatory dictionary site is suitable for practicing functional vocabulary for students at the Intermediate level and above.

Longman will allow you to understand how confident you are in the language, and at the same time understand the intricacies of using English vocabulary. Here you will find many special tests that allow you to deal in detail with individual words (sections Synonyms, Antonyms) and aspects of the language (sections Collocations, Idioms, Phrasal verbs, Word formation).

The undoubted advantage of this site is that you not only memorize the translation of a word or phrase, but also work with the context of their use. Suppose you know the word an idea and its synonyms - a notion, a concept, a thought, an impression, a brainwave, but can you figure out which word would be most appropriate in a given situation? Test yourself with the Synonyms: Idea quiz.

7. Longman: Quiz

The Quiz section is a good option for testing functional vocabulary and is also aimed at students at the Intermediate level and above.

If the Vocabulary section deals with special cases - individual words, their synonyms, antonyms and all kinds of set expressions, then here you will find a comprehensive test on each of these topics. There are not many tests here, but each of them is dedicated to the most common words and expressions. The Common sections are suitable for Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate students, while Less Common is designed for those who speak the language at the Advanced level.

8. BBC Russian

English lessons on the BBC Russian website will expand your general and functional vocabulary. The resource will be useful for students of the Intermediate level and above.

Small vocabulary tests are published in the "English Lessons" section ("Test Yourself" section). Tests are different, and sometimes it is quite difficult to notice them in the general feed of the section materials, so we recommend that you find them through the list of similar materials under a specific test. Among the most relevant are: the Color expressions test for knowledge of idioms that use colors, tests of the "Flawless English" series for general vocabulary and thematic tests "Business and Finance". All tasks are designed for students who are fluent in English.

9. Macmillan Dictionary: Language Quizzes and Language Games

Macmillan Dictionary provides topic, general and functional vocabulary tests. It will also be useful for students of the Intermediate level and above.

There are not very many tests on the Macmillan Dictionary site, but they are! The site is suitable for lovers of words more interesting. Even the topic tests here are quite specific, for example, in the Trees test you will be asked about the difference between the adjectives coniferous and deciduous. Choosing an answer, you will immediately find out if it is correct, and you will also receive explanations with links to dictionary entries where you can clarify the pronunciation.

We find the assignments on modern English vocabulary especially interesting. For example, the Trending Words test includes the ten most relevant English words selected annually by the dictionary editors.

For those who are tired of the usual tests, Macmillan Dictionary has prepared a Language Games section with word games. In the Irregular Verbs Wheel, you need to remember all the possible forms of the verb as quickly as possible. In Red Words you will be asked to determine whether a particular word is used in modern English or whether it escaped from the dusty Shakespearean books. The advantage of the tests is that behind each of them there is a large dictionary database, which means that you can go through them again and again.

10. Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Test Your Vocabulary

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary will help students at the Advanced level and above develop their general vocabulary.

The American English Dictionary has a section with vocabulary tests, quizzes and games. Its plus is the relevance of the words used. Taking them makes sense only for those who are fluent in the language.

Pay attention to the Spell It test game: listen to the word and write it - you only have 15 seconds. The game is suitable for people with strong nerves, capable of writing words such as susceptible, hoarse or maneuver with an unwavering hand.

A small bonus for fans of non-trivial words is the section Word of the Day. Every day a new article and a test are published on the site, where you are invited to guess the word by its definition and a few letters. Be warned, it won't be easy.

Do you want to overcome the language barrier and use the learned vocabulary appropriately? Then sign up for an intensive conversational English course.

So, we have introduced you to the most interesting resources that our teachers use in the classroom. However, the expanses of the Internet are endless - something must have escaped us. If you use other sites to test your vocabulary and learn new words, be sure to share them in the comments.
