Improving my vocabulary
So, a few years ago, I participated in a job interview and I was so bad because I have a poor vocabulary, I mean, I know few words in English.
Today, I had a business meet with a Indian guy who understand me but in many moments was necessary that I look for a especific word on Google. Is it normal? How do you study to learn news words and get it in your vocabulary?

Improving My Vocabulary
A few years ago, I had a job interview. It didn’t go well because of my poor vocabulary. I only know a few words in English.
Today, I had a business meeting with an Indian guy who understood me. There were moments where it was necessary that I look up specific words on Google. Is this normal? What is the best way to study so that I can learn new words and practice vocabulary?

Hi Guilherme! As there are a few corrections already, I'll just give a few tips for learning new vocabulary.
My nr.1 tip...Buy a notepad! :) write down any new words and their definitions (in your own words).
2. Read with a highlighter (marker pen)
Esl students often read to fast or read only to understand the general idea of the text. Reading with highlighter allows you to quickly mark any new vocabulary, that can be looked up later.
3. Note down the words you need to translate, maybe there is a pattern, and you can focus on that for a while with a teacher.
4. Stay positive and put in the effort! Be prepared for the next interview - do a mock interview, write down your answers, learn them. It's ok to change what you want to say during the interview, but at least you have something to fall back on :)
Good luck!
