Head towards... the most important English vocabulary

Today, the English language is all around you, useful both at work and in your leisure time. Time and again you’re confronted with situations in which you can’t avoid using English: a software user manual hasn’t been translated (because it’s obvious that everyone can understand the English version!), an article you need for work was written in the English language, your company welcomes foreign visitors and you’re appointed to take care of them... Of course, no one asks you whether you can handle the conversation.
You did learn the language at school and university, so you remember the basics and you generally know how to get out of an uncomfortable situation, language-wise. The problem arises when you encounter an unfamiliar word, or one that you seem to know, but have no idea how to use. This course comes to the rescue – we will discuss the most frequently used vocabulary from such areas as business and finance, software and hardware or business correspondence as well as focus on conjunctions of cause, effect, time, etc. We will put the vocabulary in context each time and discuss its synonyms, antonyms, provide useful tips, etc. Thus, we will approach the subject in a way that will make guessing the meaning of a word in a sentence much more intuitive. What’s more, the course will help you to develop the habit of extracting information that will make it easier to understand even very difficult texts.

The course is made up of three levels, so you can move from easier to more difficult tasks as you progress. It also includes additional exercises to help you practice your new vocabulary as well as word lists in Excel – ready to be sorted and supplemented with translations, definitions or synonyms, and then printed as flashcards or uploaded directly to applications (such as Quizlet).

Memory decay

Memory decay is an important and interesting phrase to remember even before you start working with the course. Are you familiar with it? If not, try to recall anything from exams taken in college. If you can’t, no wonder – the natural phenomenon of memory decay has occurred. It consists in forgetting acquired information after some time unless it is reviewed and repeatedly used. The same phenomenon that applies to so-called redundant knowledge is at play when you learn vocabulary in a foreign language. Words that are not used slowly fade into oblivion. That’s why, after listening to a lesson, it’s worth refreshing your new knowledge with additional exercises, and later with your favorite way of learning vocabulary.
