Learing new vocabulary is important. People on earth have to read many books. It helps us commucation, knowledge, and enjoyment. If I read book that had a new word I couldn't understand. I have to read sentence and know what story about. It have to make a sense to make me understand. I have other way to going to get dictionary and find word there.
I learned a new word. Decade-10 years. Its from algreba 1 class. Avocado-food that grow in california. rough skin. Its from home ecomines.
Yeah I really agree with djp because he say that learning new vocabulary is important because it will appear it in future never know. It help us to become smarter in school, highly scholarship. Most people in Earth love to read books because it keep their brains become smart and energy. I like to read books yes but I must to find new vocabulary but if i struggle wit h new vocabulary then I use with my imagine, or dictionary, or read again then get it. Hmm... Oh good question,
My new vocabulary is Romantic, I learned that in Drama Class, that time I was watched Romeo and Juliet, I find out that mean Love. Other new vocabulary is Yin Yang, I learned from karate class, I was yellow belt but I quit, anyway, My karate teacher taught me that Yin Yang mean half good and half bad balance. Also, My third new vocabulary is Trust, I learned from my English Teacher, she told me Truat mean Believe in ur friends, or families.
I am agree with Djp too that learing new vocabulary is very important key. When you are out world bless your soul if you not know what that word mean your choose to ask people or dictionary. When you read any book and that you not understand what word meaning, well it easy way to resourceful, my way is very easy to read repeat until you understand what word meaning. Well it depend to people how many do they learn new vocabluary, to me I will said it took me two to seven new word to learn. It depend to all people's hear, people's eye!
The vocabulary are very important to me. Becasue I learn more many vocabulary for commuicate hearing people and grammar. If I read the book when I notice other new word like I never saw before. If I read back again, again, until I not understand then get dictionary book or dictionary computer or ask to adult explain to me. How can I learn vocabulary from signs outside, the book, televison with closed caption, other people share information each other, and computer.
When I was young. My mom and I went to king burger. My mom was order our foods and drink. My mom gave me 2 soda plasic then I walk went to soda machine. I saw to the sign paper said "out of order". That made me puzzled. I not even asked to my mom what was mean "out of order". I was figure out by myself. I decided that I try it and pressed to coke. It was not work, and try again press to coke. Again, it was not work and I realized that not work. My mom saw whole of me and she proud of me. I told her it was not work. She nodd of me and she told me that had other soda machine.
Few months ago, My mom had idea "play game" in the highway for name of signs what is mean. In my mom's car and my mom drove in the highway. My mom point to any signs then I explain what is mean. I was study pennsylvania law's book and my mom want know what been I study. Finally I notice of sign said "keep the should off". I not even asked to my mom. I figure out by myself. what is mean "keep the should off". I thought that out of white lines in the highway then I asked to my mom. She said that was right answer. I said oh well thank you mom! I hug of her during she drove in highway.
I agree that vocabulary is more important because you can read all books for education. If I not understand sentences then I will pick books and read new vocabulary. I will like to read in college vocabulary right now because time is go to fast. we should always bring vocabulary book so if we cant understand what the sentence talking about.
Well I used vocabulary once while because I want to know what that mean than taking vocaburlary because I dont want to fail the test. I want to college in the future.
To learning the new vocabulary are very important. Because deaf people in the world dont know alot vocabulary when they're young. Hearing people who was young knew alot the word fast! Vocabulary can help them to know everything the word. Honest with you I dont know alot words in the vocabulary. Important to know alot vocabualry is looking at the dictionary book! smile!
Hello.. Yeah vocab is real important to us learning. I honestly love learning new vocab it is my favorite things to do and I am willing to learn hard words more than baby's word. I don't like that, and also I want to have advance words so which that means the deaf people could have a good grammars if they have a good words. I do understand that it is to long time to learning new vocab, it takes us a while to learn about something new. I honestly want to tell you something. I would understand how to spell it in correct way, I don't like to make mistake, learning new words can have a good right to show power to the teachers that you can do it!! My first large word was an "Approximately" and just wondering, do you all know what does that means to you? If you all unknowing it then that should be like as a *About* and honestly yesterday, I was asking someone what does "FmHA stands for?" Then she goes like, go on the computer or use ur bestfriend dictionary to finger it out, I was like allright will do, then found it. It stands Farmer Homes Admission. My new words too! That is all what I am saying, so gotta to go now....

I must learning new vocabulary important to me because we learning from many, many vocabulary. (ex: Pet is animal. Toy is play with stuff.) Mostly important is vocabulary for future because I need know what is words and define.
I can learn 5 to 7 of new words per weeks because I can keep remember few words as per week. If someone give too much more than 10 words. Maybe I can forget as define and words. I got new learn vocabulary is Vice Verisa. Romeo love Juliet and vice verisa. I got new learn vocabulary is Dagger. I was dagger against killed turkey. O.R. teach to me. Also, I alway keep slow remember of define.
Oh well, Im honest with you. It is vocabulary important for me. so i know some hard word for vocabulary why? because i never see new word that why. I need more study for vocabulaty and I want to know how to sentence for vocabulaty as what do mean on sentence. I want to new learn as hard for me. But i know many vocabulary not full like 40% between 45%. Sometime i dont understand then go to get dictionary then read it what mean it then i will understand what is mean it. I wish i know everything word but im not good for vocabulary and then i will new learn in the improve. I HOPEFULLY!!!
Well, I'm experice at my mainstream and they teach me to learn a vocabulary to important to me like a read the books and eduaction. If your teacher teach you a new word vocabulary then you would to know what is mean for that. I'm honeset with you Donna try teach to you but they won't to learn a new vocabulary in our class. It's imporotant to us in our future. If you write a paper for homeowork then you have to know a right spelling and vocabulary to tell you what mean. If you know a new vocabulary then you will learn for that.
Actually Yes, Learning new vocbulary important to people. Because people want know what mean is, if people going out of world or doctor and etc, there have vocabulary everything..

The new vocabulary important is to me. Because I learn new vocabulary then read book and will understand what's story. If i read book while don't understand words. Then i ask stuffs or look dictionary to find out what's new words meaning.
How many news words i learn each day or each week? I guess, new words are about 20 words or 10. I learned vice versa, apothecary, performer, consequences, theater, dagger, prologue, spectator, and groundlings.
Hello,
Man, I am so exhausted! I have been walking around NTID..
Anyway, vocabulary is important for everybody. Of course, how can you suriving everyday without vocabulary? No vocabulary, you cant read, writing or watching the television with closed caption.
In average, I learn 3 to 8 words everydays. When I read the book and I dont know that words. I skipped it and continue read. Most of time, the sentences after that word I dont know, I understand what does it means. But I dont know how to define it. But I know what does it means.
The word I learn yesterday is... Succession. That word means, the population changes when the environment changes. It is science word. I thought that word means "success." But, I am wrong.

Yaah, reading is important to all people. how can we learn the vocabulary. We learn more vocabulary by the read the book more. It is very important for future. If you read and see one vocabulary, we can read back again and we will understand.Today, people always ready the books.
Testing..
Yes, new vocabulary is very important to learing. Because we are always read books and many new vocabulary in there. That is help to more knowledge and easy to communication. I do read and notice many new words for me, so i used dictionary and check on internet in my computer. I learn average 3 to 5 new words each week. I dont remember what i did learn new words for me today. Plus i dont remember spelling words also. But i learn one word "grin" myself. I read this book last year, i think.
In generally yes learning new vocabulary everyday is important it gains your knowledge and for you to become a better person. Out the world so many people will know more vocabulary than you do, when someone tells you new word or you see word you don't know what it means i highly suggest you to find out what it means maybe someday you will see that word again with different crowd, or you will use it yourself, so learning new word is very important and for myself i like to learn more words, helps me to become better person and the truth is going out there i do spot these words and most of the time im grateful for knowing those words.
When I read books or essays or poem anything, and i don't know what that vocabulary word means most of the times I would re-read the sentence see if there's any hint that I would find and fingure out, sometimes i would pronounce the sentence, if both fail i would eithor look dictionary or ask someone who knows what it means and explain to me.
I'm sure I learn more than 10 words per a week, that would be a average.
Last night chatting with my friend whom is woman herself and she's deaf, she use to teach college now retire, she's most cool person i ever met, she complete understands what I am going through and was able to give me advice and lead me through to be a better person. Those two words I learned yesterday was "Unconditional Love" and "Orientation" she really exposed me so well to find who I am and go out the world and be a better person I can be.
The new word I learn yesterday was "Unconditional Love" and it means someone do what they want love towards someone regardless of his or her actions or beliefs. This word is rare use to mothers, not many mothers have unconditional love, for example, a mother has 3 kids, but she choose to favorism the last baby ones, and dislike the older child because of what he did, he stole 12,000 from mother, and crashed her brand new car, she changed her love for her oldest son and want to kick him out when he immediately turns 18 because of what he did but that is not call UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, thats common what mothers do, what unconditional love mother do is, LOVE all her 3 kids equally, no matter what they did, even if they stole her money, or crash her brand new car, she forgives them and still love them as her children and will lead them through life and allow them to make mistakes and forgive them easily. Thats what unconditional love is.
Also learned "Orientation" that word means find a place where you feel you belong and stable, fits your personality, for example myself as gay, I need to find my orientation, PA is not my orientation, other state is, and I plan to find my orientation i need to write pros and cons, ofc will stay around here for a while but when good time has come then I have to leave and find my orientation and live my life happy!
I guess learning new vocabulary is important because you dont need to be use to common words everyday, it gets boring - learn a unique word and use it often, that's what I like to do.
During Romeo and Juliet I learned alot of differnt vocabulary definitions which arent occasionally used in these modern days.
Yesterday I was VPing with a friend of mine, she has taught a word "Unconditional Love" which I've never heard of, but it means a mother loves their children NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS throughout their relationship, she loves them fairly without any dramas.
I was learning the new words. I like to know the new words. it little hard to me. If I learn more the new words. It will be easy for me. I think it fun. Student was interest to learn it. When I saw the new words. I don't understand the one word. The teacher teach to students make to understand.
