This makes a much bigger difference. Having it on your phone is great because it takes two seconds to look something up in the middle of a conversation. And because you’re using it in conversation, you’re much more likely to recall it later.


Watch Movies 


 Watching movies familiarizes you with native speech.  If you don’t understand a word, you can often guess based on what’s happening and characters facial expressions. Plus, you can see how vocabulary might be used in different situations, helping you understand when different words are appropriate.


Get out of your comfort zone


Willingness to make mistakes means being ready to put yourself in potentially embarrassing situations. This can be scary, but it’s the only way to develop and improve.
