Since my childhood, my father always asked me to do list few vocab. I didn't know what my father's purpose. I searched, wrote and remembered minimal 50 hard words from my books. This is routine activity everyday. I sorted Alphabet from A to Z.
I bought dictionary English-Indonesia by him to find words easily. Eh,, by the way, beside it, there's Alfa Link or you can say it "Digital Dictionary" is more cool & sophisticated but more expensive (loh!). In 2013, that gadget have many kinds of feature and specification. They are Language Database from Oxford & Comet, Pronounciation, Spelling, simulation test TOEFL, GRE, SAT and GMAT, MP3 & MP4, modern word (red: Bahasa Gaul) (ex: BNBI || Brand New in the Box-Barang Baru, LOL || Laughing Out Loud-Tertawa Terbahak-bahak, etc), Science Formulas, Calculator, and many more. Wow.. how fantastic dictionary with many functions it's!! (Quoted from Ilmu Komputer Magazine)
So, why must learning vocab? What's advantage?
- Understand with English text or when someone spoke english easily
- Make a text in English easily
- Speak English fluently with memories about vocab you have
- Use for Scrabble, Spelling Bee game, etc
In below, I give you a few vocab:
- Peas : Kacang polong
- Helplessness : Ketidakberdayaan
- Justice : Keadilan
- Pod : Kulit kacang polong
- Groove : Alur/lekuk
- Incorporate : PT (Perseroan Terbatas)
- Prove : Membuktikan

In fact, people included me felt it must not memorized but I totally agree if there's say "Text in your proposal had controlled by you with mean of vocab which you searched before".
