This evening, I chatted with Diego (邱元亨), a former student who is studying at NTU, on the phone. Among other things, he mentioned ways to learn English. According to him, he jots down new words when he listens to English programs, for example, BBC Top Gear. He told me his experience taught him that to make a big progress in English, vocabulary size plays a crucial role since grammar is finite while words can expand infinitely. Then I asked him if he memorized vocabulary lists. His answer was no way. He would rather read a lot to learn words.
"Reading is the only way to expand one's vocabulary," a teacher from Studio Classroom once made the remark at her speech. What impressed me most was she said "the only way," not "one way."
