Improve Your Vocabulary: Use Advanced Words instead of Simple Words

Hi English learners! If you want to improve your vocabulary 

and speak more fluently then  you’re in the right place. 

I’m Kate, your English Teacher and my goal for you is not only to  

learn new English words but to be able to use them. 

Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel  so you don’t miss any of my new videos.

Today we gonna learn 12 advanced English words so that you can use to sound more natural. 

One of the best ways to sound fluent is to use advanced words instead of simple words.

Let’s practice changing some  simple words with an adverb “very” 

into advanced words

The first one is very nice. 

Instead of saying very nice you  can simply say amazing or awesome 

You can say: ‘That’s amazing” or "That’s awesome"

The second one is very good. Instead of saying "It’s a very good movie" 

you can say "exceptional" "It’s an exceptional movie"

Number three is very funny. You can say – hilarious.  Hilarious means extremely  funny, merry and cheerful. 

We gonna practice all these words  in the next part of the lesson 

so please make sure you watch  this video till the end.

Number - 4 Instead of saying very badyou can say dreadful 

And you probably know the word ‘awful’ That’s another one you can use.

Number 5. Very scared.

Instead of saying "I am very scared"  it’s better to say “I’m terrified”.

Number 6 very new 

You can say brand new

Number 7 - very beautiful. You can say "stunning" 

or "gorgeous'

Number 8 – very surprised 

Instead of saying "I was very surprised" you can say "I was stunned".

Number 9

Number 10 Instead of saying "very angry" 

you can say "indignant" If someone is indignant, 

he is shocked and angry, because he  thinks that something is unjust or unfair.

Number 11. instead of saying "very loud"

you can say "deafening". 

The word “deafening” means so loud that  it’s impossible to hear anything else.
