Can’t find the words?
If someone asked you to talk about the best day of your life in English, could you do it? What about the worst?
Chances are you’d be able to get the point across, but you might have trouble expressing just how very happy or really sad you were on those days. In fact, you might feel a little silly repeating happy or sad so many times in one story.
There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to tell someone how you feel in another language. You know that the only way to fix the problem is by expanding your English vocabulary, but which words should you learn?
