SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR LEARNING THIS VOCABULARY

These are some of the words that I encountered the most while, reading, listening or watching things. So Ive gathered them in a file and copied their meanings from two English dictionaries (Cambridge+ Oxford) and 1 Urdu dictionary (CLEANTOUCH). It has helped me a lot in improving my vocabulary, so I thought to share this file with you as well. In order to learn these words I recommend following things to you:
1)

Get back to back prints of first 8 pages in this original size (small font is intended for reducing burden on hand and I assure you that when printed, it is easily and fairly readable and legible) You may delete the words (rows) that you already know and are completely sure about their meanings You can also omit or delete the words (rows) that you find or deem too advanced, trivial or unworthy of memorizing, as I also feel that some words are related to particular readership or listener ship Just go through the words when you are free and try to retain some new words each time Highlight the words that youve read and memorized on the hard copy, so as to please your mind with your achievement & itll indicate lessening of burden Some words in the list contain unconventional meaning of the word (E.g. blue, retreat, etc). So dont completely rely on just one meaning. Reconfirm if you doubt something unusual

Below is a list of words, which I used to confuse or pronounce wrongly. So I suggest you to check and confirm right pronunciation of these words from any good dictionary (Cambridge Dictionary preferably)
