What if I don’t understand an English word when I’m learning English?

If you don’t understand an English word while learning, don’t panic! It’s completely normal to encounter unfamiliar words when learning a new language. Here are some tips to help you understand and learn new English words:

1. Look it up: Use a dictionary or a translation app to find the meaning of the word.
2. Context clues: Try to use the context of the sentence or passage to understand the meaning of the word. Look for clues in the words and phrases around the unfamiliar word.
3. Ask for help: Ask a teacher, tutor, or friend to explain the word to you or provide an example sentence.
4. Make note of the word: Write down the unfamiliar word, along with its definition and an example sentence, in a notebook or on flashcards for future review.
5. Practice using the word: Use the word in a sentence or conversation to reinforce your understanding and help you remember it better.

Remember, learning a new language takes time and practice, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t understand every word at first. Keep practicing, and over time, you’ll become more comfortable and confident with English vocabulary.
