While learning English it is not an easy thing to build a rich vocabulary so you can easily communicate in any situation, especially when you live in a non-English speaking country. But there are a lot of different ways how you can build English vocabulary and improve your language skills:

1. You can use a classical vocabulary book where words are divided into thematic groups. Just open the topic you are interested in and start reading the words. It’s very convenient as you can find nearly all the word you need and even examples.
2. The second variant is to watch BBC or CNN if you want to build a rich political and financial English vocabulary. It’s very easy to find several minutes a day to watch news and analytical TV programs. You will be always sure that you know modern language and use up-to-date vocabulary. Nowadays English as well as other languages develops very rapidly and it’s not so easy to follow all these chances if you live outside English speaking countries.
3. Read newspapers and magazines. For example, in Prague we have “Prague News” newspaper where they publish news for foreigners. You can get such newspapers for free in pubs or hotels. Just read them regularly and practice your English speaking skills at home, at work or with your friends.
4. The last but not the least is to use special e-learning software to build a good English vocabulary. One of such vocabulary builders is Vocaboly (www.vocaboly.com) or you can search for such programs via Google – just print “vocabulary builder” and press “Google Search”. But I prefer using this program as a vocabulary builder. It’s very easy to use and it’s effective – in a month you will see progress.

Of course, there are other ways to build English vocabulary and I will be happy if you describe them in comments.
