Even though English isn’t my first language, I don’t have the habit of looking up words in the dictionary. I guess that comes from the fact that I learned English primarily by watching TV and listening to American/European music. I always try to understand a certain sentence by getting the overall meaning of it, but I know that can be tricky and misleading. This exercise of looking up the meaning of certain words opened up my eyes to the fact that, since I’m able to understand most words in everyday-English, I should devote some time into expanding my vocabulary.
