Improving your vocabulary means you will have a wider choice of words to choose from. When you use a less common word in speech, take note of the reactions of others to see if they understand what you have said. If they seem unsure, you can always explain the meaning of your new word.

English uses so many words that, although a word might have many synonyms, each has a slightly different meaning. You can nearly always find a word to say exactly what you want to say.
