Simple way to build vocabulary in a foreign language through Read-Aloud Method(1) What or how do you build your vocabulary of target foreign languages? I would like to introduce one of my methods to build vocabulary effectively. To build vocabulary, there may be people who use word books, flash cards, and smartphone applications. I have tried such methods like viewing a word book or making flash cards during junior high school days. However, I concluded that those were inefficient. Since then, I have never practiced such methods. Because I am always interested in how words and expressions which I try to remember are used in a specific context. For example, if I remember words and expressions without context, I will not be able to use the words and expressions　with confidence in actual communication scenes(not only speaking but also writing). That's why I do not like that way to remember words and expressions without context.
