SUCCESSFUL LEARNİNG

  In my opinion, learning new words are the most impressive way for enhancing to your learning abilities.So I try to learn new word for general communication because every word that we learn to provide  a new developed. There are a lot of way for learning new language but also consolidating to that is important as learning them. I think the best way of consolidating your language is using them frequently. I try to use them in my writing and I use them when I speak as much as I can. In this way while I improve my language, I can contribute to my communication abilities.
