¿Sabes por qué es difícil aprender palabras en inglés?
1) Para un hispanohablante, la gran mayoría de las palabras en inglés son sonidos ininteligibles que no
significan absolutamente nada. Si la palabra nueva te resulta familiar solo se puede deber a dos motivos: es
una palabra de origen latino o la has escuchado en los medios de comunicación.
Recuerda: Dado que el inglés es un idioma de origen germánico, muy alejado del español, no se asimila un
nuevo sonido hasta que no se repite unas diez, a veinte veces, hablando. Algunas palabras incluso tienen
que llegar a repetirse unas cien veces para que se queden grabadas en la memoria.
2) Hay, al menos, dos tipos de vocabularios. El vocabulario del inglés hablado y el del inglés escrito. Esto
quiere decir que hay palabras que lees pero que no se suelen usar en inglés hablado y palabras que escuchas
pero que no se suelen escribir. Las palabras de inglés hablado son las más difíciles de aprender porque una
gran mayoría no son de origen latino; son "phrasal verbs", o palabras de origen germánico.
Recuerda: Es mejor empezar aprendiendo el vocabulario del inglés hablado ya que será el que más vas a
necesitar en el día a día.
3) El número de palabras que hay que aprender para hablar con cierta fluidez ronda las tres mil. Aprender
tres mil palabras es difícil y toma tiempo, por tanto, necesitaremos determinación a prueba de fuego.
Recuerda: Para incrementar tu vocabulario, determinación a prueba de fuego; esto significa planificación y
constancia.
4) Por cada palabra, hay que aprender "pronunciación" y "deletreo" (spelling). Si no sabes escribir una
palabra, no importa demasiado porque siempre puedes buscarla en un diccionario, pero si no sabes
pronunciarla realmente no sabes esa palabra.
Recuerda: Solo puedes decir que sabes una palabra si puedes pronunciarla y colocarla correctamente en una
frase. Consejo: Búscate ahora mismo alguien para hablar.
¿Cómo superaremos todas estas barreras?
Sólo hay una manera: con mucha determinación y un buen método. Suponiendo que ya tenemos la
determinación, veamos los métodos.
Una de las mejores maneras de aprender vocabulario es viendo películas en inglés con subtítulos. Ves la
imagen, escuchas cómo suena y ves cómo se escribe.
Ni que decir tiene que otra fantástica manera de aprender vocabulario es cantando.
Otra buena fórmula es hablando. Cuando no sabes cómo decir algo, la necesidad de comunicarte te lleva a
buscar las palabras que necesitas para expresarte. Así que piensa durante el día frases en español y piensa
cómo las dirías en inglés. Si tienes dudas pregunta a un profesor.
Otra forma eficaz de incrementar tu vocabulario es leyendo. La gran ventaja de la lectura es que
aprendes las nuevas palabras en un contexto determinado. La desventaja es que no sabes cómo suena la
palabra. Por ello, la lectura debe combinarse siempre con prácticas de conversación. También son buenos
los audio-books para leer y escuchar al mismo tiempo.
Por último, se aprende vocabulario estudiando y echando mano de todos los recursos que tenemos a
mano: diccionarios, internet,trucos para memorizar, juegos, crucigramas (crosswords), el ahorcado
(hangman), leyendo las noticias en inglés, etc
¿Cómo recordar vocabulario nuevo?
1. Traduciendo la palabra a tu idioma. Por ejemplo: coche – car (inglés).
2. Describiéndola en español. Por ejemplo: vehículo con motor y de cuatro ruedas para transportar
personas.
3. Haciendo un dibujo.
4. Poniéndola en contexto. Por ejemplo: Mi coche se ha estropeado y tengo que llevarlo al taller.
5. Colocándola dentro de un grupo léxico. Por ejemplo: coche, camión, moto, etc.
