Maybe.
I think whatever that is in English is good to learn English, as well as Vocabulary. Games may be good if you feel them appeal to you and they drill into your brain most.
I don't appreciate games much.

Re: Learning English - what's your trick?

Hi Divine,

It's very nice to see you as well. I usually learn English words when I read English texts, that is, in context. Often I check new words in a dictionary, though, if I feel I'm not absolutely sure about what a word means. Also, when you use a dicionary, you can learn other possible meanings of the same word, so in a way you can kill two bords with one stone. Recently, I've noticed how poor my knowledge of vulgar slang is. I suppose it has to do with the fact that I normally fancy 'quality literature', and people hardly ever speak vulgar English to me. Of course native speakers of English don't learn new words as often as non-native speakers (in general), but native speakers certainly don't know all the words there are to know in English. Actually, I would be very surprised should I ever meet a person with such an excellent command of English vocabulary. What about your vocabulary in your native language? Would you claim you know all the words in your first language? What about words used only or mostly by specialists?

Read children's books. One a day. Rewrite the stories in your native language, then retranslate them into English, with help if you need it. Converse in English with your friends and family as much as you can. Learn English-language songs that please you and translate the lyrics into your native tongue. then retranslate them into english in your own words. Have fun! Do children's level crosswords when your skills will support the activity.

Also look in your new english vocabulary words for roots that may be related to the same root used in your native tongue; for example, veracity(English)= truthfulness and verdad(Spanish)= true, veritas(Latin)=truth
