Learning vocabulary online

People have different styles when it comes to learning language, and there is nothing called the best style or way in learning, but all people like the fastest and easiest way to learn and. The same thing goes with learning vocabulary, and since vocabulary is the main element in any language learners need to memorise a big number of it.
Learning vocabulary online gives the learner many options when he/she search for any word; It shows the meaning of the word and how it pronounced and how to use it. What makes the online dictionary special is that you can find the meaning so fast and It will not take long time from you to look up a word or a phrase. Some people are against online dictionaries because they believe that learners will forget the meaning fast because they get it fast "easy come easy go" and that if a learner spent some time to look up a word he/she will never forget it. I believe that learning vocabulary online is better than using notebook or flashcards for many reasons. First, the learner can get the meaning so fast and it will not take long time. Second, the learner can hear the word so he can pronounce it properly.

Learning vocabulary by using notebook or flash card is more familiar with many people because this style is been taught for many years until now and almost everybody know it. Some people think that this way of learning vocabulary take time and effort from the learner and that help him not to forget the word fast. I believe that this way of learning is out of date and it is not beneficial like before, it took time and its not available outside the classrooms and study places while learning online you can brows your dictionary on your phone or any other device in any place, and that will help learners to use the waiting time in something they can get benefit from.

  • Is it better to learn vocabulary online, or using a notebook or flashcards?  Write a short OPINION post.

Many people wonder what is the best way to learn and memorise a new vocabulary. some thinks that keeping a note book for the vocabulary is the best way. others, believe that engaging the technology will give a better results. while others think that flash cards are the best solution. In my opinion, I believe that learning a vocabulary through online is the best way.

I think that using notebook is not useful any more. its hard to take it everywhere. in addition, its really difficult to go back to the note book and find the word that you want to remember and use. furthermore, the moment you write the word you can not edit it because you cant have more space in the paper. in other words, the word you wrote you can not add another definition or a sentence other than the one you already wrote at the beginning. 
when it comes to flash cards, I think its better than the note book but not the best. flash card can be more useful if you are learning new words for the first  time. However, flash cards by time will get old and might be unusable. also, its difficult to keep the flash cards and one can lose it easily.

However, online vocabulary method is more modern and fun. one can access to the vocabulary at any time and can keep a record of as many as he wishes. moreover, he can arrange the words based on what is suitable for him. for example he can arrange it alphabetically which will make it easy for him to search a specific word. also, with online vocabulary one can design a test for himself so he can learn the word and test him self. another advantage of learning vocabulary through online is that you can get as many examples and uses as you want so you can grasp the vocabulary and master it.
