The relaxing way to learn English vocabulary

It can be easy to learn English vocabulary if you are learning the vocabulary for a meaningful use and life application. As a second language learner, you will learn vocabulary everyday and everywhere, so that you have something more to share with others. You may try the five suggested steps to improve your word power:
  1. Start by learning the names of the things that raise your interest.
  2. Write something down with the new words that you noticed when you read or heard, saw or felt. It is good even you write only one sentence a day.
  3. Learn the words so that you have something to talk about when you know someone who would also be interested in listening to you.
  4. Write and keep a diary for reflecting your learning on the new terms.
  5. Publish your thoughts to the online blog for comments and feedbacks.

The essence of learning is about a meaningful and repetitive use of the vocabulary items you learn. Recall the learning loop I talked about a month ago. Learning means to: learn, repeat, recap, refect and, relearn. Do they match well with the five steps listed above?
