Note to recorder:

My second day of learning English !

Hi everyone, today I learned lesson 2 called 10 lessons from the greatest leaders.
I have learned not to require anything before I had brought many valued things to everyone and I learned lots of new and interesting vocabularies.

I made the sentence with each new word. By this way, I could remember new words easier and longer. For example, to remember the new word "Productivity" I made the sentence " Productivity is one of the most significant factors affected directly on revenues this month".

Additionally, I tried to use sounds and images to remember vocabularies. I searched on the website http://youglish.com/ to find series of videos which content a new word. I often listened to 10 videos and then I found it's meaning on the google images. With the active pictures, I could remember them easily.

Hello ConanHuynh,
I have one question that the plural noun of "vocabulary" is still vocabulary, not vocabularies?

I think "vocabulary" can count so I use plural noun of it is vocabularies :)
Please, explain it to me! Thank you :)

Of course!

Vocabulary is a group of words in a language. You can say a language has its own unique vocabulary. For example, English has its own vocabulary. France has its own vocabulary. Japanese has its own vocabulary.

You are right by saying "vocabularies" is a plural noun of "vocabulary." However,, because you are only using one language (English), you should use vocabulary. If you are using more than one language, use vocabularies.

You can think of it this way. Language = vocabulary.
1 language = vocabulary
+1 languages = vocabularies; more than 1 language = vocabularies

I hope this helps!
