Learning Vocabulary


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
  • Worth : Berharga
  • Punchcard : Kartu berlobang-lobang
  • Plow : Bajak
  • Implant : Penanaman
  • Imperial : Kekaisaran/kerajaan
  • Palace : Istana
  • Grove : Belukar/Hutan kecil
  • Promenade : Tempat berjalan
  • Waterfront : Tepi laut
  • Fade : Memudar
  • Rioter : Perusuh
  • Perfunctory : Acuh tak acuh
  • Assassination : Pembunuhan
  • Sanctity : Kesucian
  • Beyond : Melampaui, alam baka
  • Household : Rumah tangga
  • Invoke : Memohon, meminta
  • Indebted : Berhutang

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".
