واژه های زبان و سعی در به خاطر سپردن آنها
واژه هایی که در متن یک روزنامه یا خبر به آن برمی خوریم، بعد از مدتی از ذهن پاک می شود. یکی از راههای جلوگیری از این روند یادگیری آنها همراه با مثال و همچنین مرور و تبادل آنها با دوستان است. اخیرا به همت تعدادی از دوستان، در شبکه اجتماعی Facebook محیطی برای این کار با نام English Fluency and efficiency فراهم شده است. مزیتی که در آن وجود دارد اینست که به مجرد اضافه شدن واژه ها در آن محیط، آنها برای ایمیل اعضا ارسال میشود. در اینجا تعدادی از این واژه ها که در چند ماه گذشته وارد شده اند ارائه می شود. با تشکر از حسین محمدی و سایرین
