115 Advanced English Words (Advanced Vocabulary List)

Learning vocabulary is my hobby. It’s amazing how many meanings the word has, where it comes from, and what it represents in a cultural context . The more words you know, the more things and experiences you can name, which helps a lot if you want to become a writer.

words to use in an essay

Table of Contents

Words to use in the essay introduction, words to use in the body of the essay, words to use in your essay conclusion, how to improve your essay writing vocabulary.

It’s not easy to write an academic essay .

Many students struggle to word their arguments in a logical and concise way.

To make matters worse, academic essays need to adhere to a certain level of formality, so we can’t always use the same word choices in essay writing that we would use in daily life.

If you’re struggling to choose the right words for your essay, don’t worry—you’ve come to the right place!

In this article, we’ve compiled a list of over 300 words and phrases to use in the introduction, body, and conclusion of your essay.

The introduction is one of the hardest parts of an essay to write.

You have only one chance to make a first impression, and you want to hook your reader. If the introduction isn’t effective, the reader might not even bother to read the rest of the essay.

That’s why it’s important to be thoughtful and deliberate with the words you choose at the beginning of your essay.

Many students use a quote in the introductory paragraph to establish credibility and set the tone for the rest of the essay.

When you’re referencing another author or speaker, try using some of these phrases:

To use the words of X

According to X

As X states

Example: To use the words of Hillary Clinton, “You cannot have maternal health without reproductive health.”

Near the end of the introduction, you should state the thesis to explain the central point of your paper.

If you’re not sure how to introduce your thesis, try using some of these phrases:

In this essay, I will…

The purpose of this essay…

This essay discusses…

In this paper, I put forward the claim that…

There are three main arguments for…

Phrases to introduce a thesis

Example: In this essay, I will explain why dress codes in public schools are detrimental to students.

After you’ve stated your thesis, it’s time to start presenting the arguments you’ll use to back up that central idea.

When you’re introducing the first of a series of arguments, you can use the following words:

First and foremost

First of all

To begin with

Example: First , consider the effects that this new social security policy would have on low-income taxpayers.

All these words and phrases will help you create a more successful introduction and convince your audience to read on.

The body of your essay is where you’ll explain your core arguments and present your evidence.

It’s important to choose words and phrases for the body of your essay that will help the reader understand your position and convince them you’ve done your research.

Let’s look at some different types of words and phrases that you can use in the body of your essay, as well as some examples of what these words look like in a sentence.

Transition Words and Phrases

Transitioning from one argument to another is crucial for a good essay.

It’s important to guide your reader from one idea to the next so they don’t get lost or feel like you’re jumping around at random.

Transition phrases and linking words show your reader you’re about to move from one argument to the next, smoothing out their reading experience. They also make your writing look more professional.

The simplest transition involves moving from one idea to a separate one that supports the same overall argument. Try using these phrases when you want to introduce a second correlating idea:

Additionally

In addition

Furthermore

Another key thing to remember

In the same way

Correspondingly

Example: Additionally , public parks increase property value because home buyers prefer houses that are located close to green, open spaces.

Another type of transition involves restating. It’s often useful to restate complex ideas in simpler terms to help the reader digest them. When you’re restating an idea, you can use the following words:

In other words

To put it another way

That is to say

To put it more simply

Example: “The research showed that 53% of students surveyed expressed a mild or strong preference for more on-campus housing. In other words , over half the students wanted more dormitory options.”

Often, you’ll need to provide examples to illustrate your point more clearly for the reader. When you’re about to give an example of something you just said, you can use the following words:

For instance

To give an illustration of

To exemplify

To demonstrate

As evidence

Example: Humans have long tried to exert control over our natural environment. For instance , engineers reversed the Chicago River in 1900, causing it to permanently flow backward.

Sometimes, you’ll need to explain the impact or consequence of something you’ve just said.

When you’re drawing a conclusion from evidence you’ve presented, try using the following words:

As a result

Accordingly

As you can see

This suggests that

It follows that

It can be seen that

For this reason

For all of those reasons

Consequently

Example: “There wasn’t enough government funding to support the rest of the physics experiment. Thus , the team was forced to shut down their experiment in 1996.”

Phrases to draw conclusions

When introducing an idea that bolsters one you’ve already stated, or adds another important aspect to that same argument, you can use the following words:

What’s more

Not only…but also

Not to mention

To say nothing of

Another key point

Example: The volcanic eruption disrupted hundreds of thousands of people. Moreover , it impacted the local flora and fauna as well, causing nearly a hundred species to go extinct.

Often, you'll want to present two sides of the same argument. When you need to compare and contrast ideas, you can use the following words:

On the one hand / on the other hand

Alternatively

In contrast to

On the contrary

By contrast

In comparison

Example: On the one hand , the Black Death was undoubtedly a tragedy because it killed millions of Europeans. On the other hand , it created better living conditions for the peasants who survived.

Finally, when you’re introducing a new angle that contradicts your previous idea, you can use the following phrases:

Having said that

Differing from

In spite of

With this in mind

Provided that

Nevertheless

Nonetheless

Notwithstanding

Example: Shakespearean plays are classic works of literature that have stood the test of time. Having said that , I would argue that Shakespeare isn’t the most accessible form of literature to teach students in the twenty-first century.

Good essays include multiple types of logic. You can use a combination of the transitions above to create a strong, clear structure throughout the body of your essay.

Strong Verbs for Academic Writing

Verbs are especially important for writing clear essays. Often, you can convey a nuanced meaning simply by choosing the right verb.

You should use strong verbs that are precise and dynamic. Whenever possible, you should use an unambiguous verb, rather than a generic verb.

For example, alter and fluctuate are stronger verbs than change , because they give the reader more descriptive detail.

Here are some useful verbs that will help make your essay shine.

Verbs that show change:

Accommodate

Verbs that relate to causing or impacting something:

Verbs that show increase:

Verbs that show decrease:

Deteriorate

Verbs that relate to parts of a whole:

Comprises of

Is composed of

Constitutes

Encompasses

Incorporates

Verbs that show a negative stance:

Misconstrue

Verbs that show a negative stance

Verbs that show a positive stance:

Substantiate

Verbs that relate to drawing conclusions from evidence:

Corroborate

Demonstrate

Verbs that relate to thinking and analysis:

Contemplate

Hypothesize

Investigate

Verbs that relate to showing information in a visual format:

Useful Adjectives and Adverbs for Academic Essays

You should use adjectives and adverbs more sparingly than verbs when writing essays, since they sometimes add unnecessary fluff to sentences.

However, choosing the right adjectives and adverbs can help add detail and sophistication to your essay.

Sometimes you'll need to use an adjective to show that a finding or argument is useful and should be taken seriously. Here are some adjectives that create positive emphasis:

Significant

Other times, you'll need to use an adjective to show that a finding or argument is harmful or ineffective. Here are some adjectives that create a negative emphasis:

Controversial

Insignificant

Questionable

Unnecessary

Unrealistic

Finally, you might need to use an adverb to lend nuance to a sentence, or to express a specific degree of certainty. Here are some examples of adverbs that are often used in essays:

Comprehensively

Exhaustively

Extensively

Respectively

Surprisingly

Using these words will help you successfully convey the key points you want to express. Once you’ve nailed the body of your essay, it’s time to move on to the conclusion.

The conclusion of your paper is important for synthesizing the arguments you’ve laid out and restating your thesis.

In your concluding paragraph, try using some of these essay words:

In conclusion

To summarize

In a nutshell

Given the above

As described

All things considered

Example: In conclusion , it’s imperative that we take action to address climate change before we lose our coral reefs forever.

In addition to simply summarizing the key points from the body of your essay, you should also add some final takeaways. Give the reader your final opinion and a bit of a food for thought.

To place emphasis on a certain point or a key fact, use these essay words:

Unquestionably

Undoubtedly

Particularly

Importantly

Conclusively

It should be noted

On the whole

Example: Ada Lovelace is unquestionably a powerful role model for young girls around the world, and more of our public school curricula should include her as a historical figure.

These concluding phrases will help you finish writing your essay in a strong, confident way.

There are many useful essay words out there that we didn't include in this article, because they are specific to certain topics.

If you're writing about biology, for example, you will need to use different terminology than if you're writing about literature.

So how do you improve your vocabulary skills?

The vocabulary you use in your academic writing is a toolkit you can build up over time, as long as you take the time to learn new words.

One way to increase your vocabulary is by looking up words you don’t know when you’re reading.

Try reading more books and academic articles in the field you’re writing about and jotting down all the new words you find. You can use these words to bolster your own essays.

You can also consult a dictionary or a thesaurus. When you’re using a word you’re not confident about, researching its meaning and common synonyms can help you make sure it belongs in your essay.

Don't be afraid of using simpler words. Good essay writing boils down to choosing the best word to convey what you need to say, not the fanciest word possible.

CAE Essay Example & Model Answer:  Younger people

Example exam task:.

Your class has listened to a radio discussion about how adults can be a good influence on younger people. You have made the notes below:

Some opinions expressed in the discussion:

Write an  essay  discussing only  two points . You should  explain which point is more important , giving reasons in support of your answer.

CAE Essay: Example Answer (Grade: 3-4)

Example answer:.

Adults can influence younger people in a good way, but also in a bad way. There are various possibilities how this can happen.

On the one hand, setting a good example is a quite useful way, because younger people will be able to see the adult’s behaviours and ways of thinking. They will see and feel the adult’s values and lives and may decide to become like them someday or at least to try to behave and think like adults.

On the other hand, offering advices seems to be the better way for me, how adults can influence younger people. Because, setting a good example to follow can be useful, but it also is pretty exhausting for adults and they may have some pressure as well. In addition, it’s just an opportunity for younger people, because they’ll decide rather they want to become like these adults or not.

In my opinion, younger people should try to learn how life works on their own. This will lead to more failures, but in my opinion, failing is normal and necessary. Of course this way of influencing is more exhausting for younger people, but I guess they’ll figure out how to do things on their own.

Failures are crucial for learning and for success, therefore I think that adults just should offer advices and show them, that they believe in them. That’s going to encourage younger people and they will try to learn and believe in themselves. That’s why I think, that offering advices is the better way how adults can influence younger people.

FCE, CAE, CPE

Practice, write & improve, examiners comments & grade:.

5 All content is relevant and the target reader is fully informed.

3The essay is written using the conventions of the communicative task effectively. The essay has a neutral tone and uses appropriate phrases to introduce and connect ideas through the text (On theone hand; On the other hand; In my opinion).

The essay topic is clearly communicated in the first paragraph and the main points are developed in separate paragraphs.

However, there are a couple of slips in the register (I guess they’ll figure out; pretty exhausting). The conclusion restates the candidate’s own opinion about which way is better, after giving some examples to support their view.

3The text is well organised and coherent. The structure of the essay is logical and cohesive devices are used to connect the ideas within and across sentences.

Organisational patterns are used to generally good effect. In the latter part of the essay, failure is discussed (in my opinion, failing is normal and necessary) and then the effects of failure on young people are explored. The idea of failing is repeated in the final paragraph (Failures are crucial) to support the candidate’s conclusion.

2There is a range of vocabulary used appropriately, but there is some awkwardness of expression at times, either due to word choice or word order.

Some grammatical forms are used with control, such as present tenses and modals, but there are errors when more complex forms or expressions are attempted.

CAE Essay: Model Answer (Grade: 4-5)

Many parents, struggle with bringing up their child into be responsible adults and are unsure how to influence them. There are of course, many ways of influencing young adults, and I want to present and discuss two of them: giving rules to obey and offering your children advice.

First of all, it has to be said that advice is easy to ignore, and that children especially in their adolescent years, don’t even want advice, and will tell you so, too: ‘I don’t need your help’, they will say to you or even shout at you. Kids often feel misunderstood they think their parents can’t understand them, because they are ‘too old’. If your son or daughter has a problem, it is important to make him or her feel that you do understand and only want their best and are, therefore, offering some advice, hoping it will help them.

Then again, there are rules. Rules can be placed differently, they don’t need to be a stone-hard barrier to your child’s freedom. Adolescents will often bend rules or utterly break them all because they need this certain feeling of rebellion and freedom. Rules also help the maturing of the conscience. If a child doesn’t need to follow rules, it’s conscience will never mature and it will not know wrong from right. If, however you place rules, and punishments should they not be followed, your son or daughter will learn not to steal, to be home on time simply because he or she doesn’t want to be punished. Don’t overdo it, though. Placing too hard punishments could also lead to destruction of the conscience your child never being able to make it’s own decisions.

I think that giving rules to obey is the best way of influencing young people. Wherever you go, you find certain rules. Not every rule is absolutely sensible, but while growing older, your child will learn by itself which rules should be followed and will follow them of free choice.

5All content is relevant and the target reader is fully informed.

The candidate chooses two of the ways adults can influence younger people Negative aspects of both choices are described and this is balanced with a more positive aspect of each option.

In the conclusion, the candidate offers their own opinion on which way is more effective and explains why.

CAE Essay Model Answer: Crimes

You have watched a documentary about what causes young people to start committing crimes. You have made the notes below.

Some opinions expressed in the documentary:

The documentary investigated what makes young people commit crimes. It seems to me that the most important reason is lack of appropriate control by parents.

To put the blame for youth crime on parents may seem rather unfair, but a lot of the interviews and information in the documentary backed up this belief. There is more than one reason why many parents fail to control their children. Some parents believe that it is wrong to discipline children in any way, and think that children should be free to do whatever they want. Some parents are simply too lazy and selfish to control their children, preferring to let them behave badly so that they can continue doing what they want. Another reason is that some parents did not grow up being disciplined by their parents and so they do not do that with their own children.

Factors such as economic position and influence from peers can of course play a major role in causing young people to turn to crime. However, it is my view that how children am brought up is more important than either of those. They need firm rules to be given to them by parents who they respect, and if they are not given firm guidance by parents, some of them are bound to behave badly. Some of this bad behaviour will be criminal. If you do something wrong and you get away with it, you will do it again or do worse things.

CAE Essay Model Answer: Talent Shows

Your class has attended a panel discussion on the subject of TV shows that feature members of the public, such as reality TV shows and talent competitions. You have made the notes below.

Some opinions expressed in the discussion:

The discussion focused on various issues connected with TV shows that feature members of the public. They have been a worldwide phenomenon for some time and views on them vary greatly.

One of the main aspects of these shows is the entertainment they provide for viewers. Obviously, they would not be watched by so many people if audiences didn’t find them entertaining. During the discussion. It was said that the shows are enjoyable to watch and do no harm. People enjoy watching ordinary members of the public living their lives, doing their jobs or taking part In talent competitions because they can relate to those people. I think that this 15 true. Although I don’t personally find them interesting and therefore seldom watch them, I agree that many people find them very entertaining.

However, a morn serious aspect was discussed and that Is the Influence these shows can have on people. especially young people. This, I think, Is the most Important aspect. Many young people are Influenced by these shows and the people on then They too want to appear on TV, to be ‘famousjust like the people they see. Rather than thinking realistically about their futures and about getting jobs and careers. they get the Impression that anyone can be famous. Instead of focusing on building a life in a practical way, they dream of being like those people on the shows. I think this 15 the most important consequence of these shows and It is a harmful one.

CAE Essay Example & Model Answer: Facilities

Your class has attended a panel discussion on facilities that should receive money from local authorities. You have made the notes below:

Some opinions expressed in the discussion:

Facilities in need of funds

Having listened to today’s radio programme about facilities that need financial help, I realised that sports centers and public gardens have been neglected over the years by the local authorities.

There are few sports centers out there that meet the right characteristics that a good sports center must have. This is one of the many reasons that people avoid sport. We see lots of kids nowadays suffering from obesity and other health problems caused by the simple fact that they don’t do sport.

Another reason for this is that people have nowhere to go out for a walk or to run in a nice place. Public gardens, parks for example are also lacking in numbers. The ones that are already there are not very nice and they don’t look very good. I think that by improving this two facilities the population can benefit from this. By creating more sports centers, there will be some more jobs offered, and some kids might even follow a sports career. By making more public gardens people can get out more often and spend some good quality time relaxing.

I think that local authorities should invest money in both facilities because, this is a good way to increase the populations health.

3All content is relevant to the task and the target reader is on the whole informed. The candidate has not made a final selection between the two facilities.

4The conventions of essay writing are evident and the target reader’s attention is held throughout. The opening statement sets up the context of the essay, and the candidate chooses two of the facilities to discuss (parks and sports centres). The candidate links these two aspects throughout the essay, and this linking is effective in communicating more complex ideas which relate to both facilities.

A consistent register is used, and the overall tone is suitably persuasive and objective.

4The text is well organised and coherent. Fairly subtle organisational patterns and cohesive devices are used, rather than overt linking words: for example, relative clauses/pronouns, substitution and ellipsis.

Some sentences are quite short and could have been connected to make the text more fluid at times.

3There is a range of vocabulary and some less common lexis, which is collocated appropriately.

There is also a range of simple and more complex grammatical structures used
with control.

Example Answer:

In regard of a recent discussion about the facilities, which are financially supported by local authorities, I would like to write a few of my personal thoughts. Whether we are talking about sports centres or public gardens, there is no doubt that they are both a good thing to have in the city and should both be supported somehow. The only question then is which one of these is more important, what are the pros and cons of each one?

Let me start with the sport centres as I think these are a bit more problematic. Obviously, in our times where lots of people spend days sitting in their office staring at a computer, some sort of physical training is very important. We have to balance that shift in our lifestyles. The problem I see with supporting the sports centres is the number of activities that you can do at these days. There is almost countless list of either individual or team sports that we can think of, and each centre is usually designed for a specific type or at least a group of sports similar in its nature. Therefore I think that it is too difficult to support them equally and we can’t say which activity is better than the others either. Another reason for not financing sports as much as green parks is their commercial use. What I mean by that is that we usually pay for everything the centre offers us to do and therefore they are more able to last from their own money than gardens.

Regarding of the green spaces, the situation is much clearer I think. Every city needs gardens where people can sit and relax, but nobody is going to pay a tax for just walking around.

These factors lead me to my conclusion, that the public gardens are definitely a facility which should be financed from public money, whereas in the case of sports centres, the situation is questionable.

5All content is relevant to the task and the target reader would be fully informed. The candidate discusses two of the options (sports centres and green spaces).

4The conventions of the communicative task are used effectively, holding the target reader’s attention with ease. The register and tone are consistent and the language choices are sufficiently formal and appropriate throughout, particularly the opening and closing paragraphs.
4The essay is well organised and coherent, and the different ideas are clearly signposted throughout. The target reader can easily follow the argument. The paragraphs are internally well constructed and are linked together appropriately. In terms of organisational patterns, the overall effect is generally good, rather than good throughout, due to the imbalance of length between the second and third paragraphs.
4A range of vocabulary, including less common lexis, is used effectively, although not always precisely. A wide range of simple and complex grammatical forms is used with control and flexibility, particularly in terms of sentence construction. Although there are occasional errors, these are often slips and do not impede communication.

Advanced Language Learning: 6 Effective Tips

Congratulations, language learner.

If you’re here, you’ve probably become proficient in a new language , maybe even on your own. 

Have you ever noticed that the resources can hit as many plateaus as your progress? 

Fear not. I’ve put together this list of ways to advance to being, well… an advanced language learner.

1. Deliberately fill holes in your vocabulary.

2. start working your target language into your daily life., 3. get intensive and extensive with your novel reading., how to read novels as an advanced language learner, 4. add output to your input., conversation exchange, google searches, wordreference forums, 5. set mid-term and mini-goals instead of long-term goals., 6. relax and accept learning plateaus., and one more thing....

Download: This blog post is available as a convenient and portable PDF that you can take anywhere. Click here to get a copy. (Download)

While this tip is a little textbook-y, it’s great for learners who already have a good handle on their target language.

Think hard about your vocabulary-based weaknesses.

Can you talk easily about your job? About your favorite animal? Your hobbies? Can you teach someone to play your favorite sport in your target language?

No? Then fix it!

For example, scroll down to check out the baby-themed part of this “Around the House” vocab list on MedicalSpanish.com .

It includes the Spanish equivalents of words like “crib,” “stroller” and “diaper.”

You probably knew these words when you were four (for good reason), but they don’t tend to pop up in your run-of-the-mill language course or immersion environment.

A specific word list like this one is your solution if you suddenly need to talk about babies!

Most major languages have tons of vocab lists online .

And it’s important to realize that even if they seem basic, they’re not necessarily just for beginners.

There are lists out there with every household object you can think of (can you say “clothespin” in your target language?), obscure animals, gaming vocab, etc.

One way to find these kinds of lists is to simply Google “[topic] word list [target language].”

You can also read Wikipedia articles on whatever subject you like, and look up the terminology you don’t know. It’s reading, it’s fun and it’ll make you into one fantastic conversationalist!

Think beyond deliberately setting aside time for textbook study, reading or even target language TV.

You’re past the beginner stage, so now’s the time to mix these things in with your other everyday activities.

Make the language a part of you.

Start browsing the Internet in your target language. Look up websites and online communities that talk about your favorite hobbies, your field of study or your work.

TV, movies, video games—whatever native resources you like—are doubly important now.

Change your phone language settings, if you haven’t already.

However, if you’re one of those good souls who’s been hitting the native resources from the get-go, try upping your concentration level every now and then.

Really try to understand everything. See a word you don’t know? Don’t ignore it, look it up! Write it down or  enter it in your SRS flashcards system .

More input is crucial for advanced learning. Aim for resources outside your comfort zone every now and then, and focus on the parts you don’t know.

FluentU takes authentic videos—like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks—and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.

In the spirit of focusing on what you don’t know, novels will improve intermediate and advanced language skills in a very specific way.

They hand you that specialized vocabulary on a silver platter.

It’s hard to express yourself if you lack the specific words that let you say precisely what you mean.

Really pay attention to the long, descriptive passages in your novel.

Sections like this tend to be more difficult and use less common vocabulary.

If you’re already into novels, you might have skimmed these bits before to get to the easier parts with more action and dialogue. But really concentrating on these passages will serve you well at this stage in your learning.

Nevertheless, dialogue is also great for picking up conversational nuances and slang you might have missed in your listening or textbook work.

I find that at the intermediate and advanced levels, middle-grade novels (aimed at children ages 8 through 12-ish) and young adult fiction (aimed at the 12 through 18 crowd) are the most useful for making progress.

The stories tend to be short and engaging without being bogged down with too much flowery language.

Try to find your favorite childhood novels in translation, or look for book bloggers and vloggers and get recommendations from them.

(Just Google or YouTube search “favorite books” in your target language.)

So besides keeping up with those descriptive passages, how can you incorporate novel reading into your routine with an eye on the advanced level?

Try balancing these two methods:

  • Extensive reading : This is reading for pleasure! The goal here is  breadth . You want to be reading lots of novels, skipping what you don’t know. You have my permission to ignore unknown vocabulary words and weird grammar constructions! You’ll end up picking up a lot of these through context, anyway. Pick up things in your favorite genres and just relax and have a good time. You won’t understand everything just yet, but extensive reading gets you there!
  • Intensive reading:  This is the opposite of extensive reading. The goal here is depth . This fits in with the aforementioned idea of really focusing on what you don’t know. Look up words on each page and make note of them or enter them into your SRS. Make notes of grammar patterns you haven’t seen before. This gets tiring, so I’d recommend limiting it to 2-3 pages or 10-20 minutes at a time.

Output (speaking and writing) is often the benchmark of whether we “know” a language.

During the beginning stages of language learning, it can be beneficial to stick with input (listening and reading) while you build up your skills. Then, when you feel somewhat confident, you can bounce over to talking and writing.

If you use this kind of input-based method , you can comfortably start to practice speaking and writing at the mid-intermediate stage, around when you start to understand sizeable chunks of clearly-spoken media.

The main thing to keep in mind when practicing output is that it’s important to get corrected!

Here are a few resources you can use for this:

Lang-8 allows you to write journal entries in your target language, and native speakers correct you.

The turnaround is quick: Native speakers will generally get back to you within the day, sometimes within hours.

Because we’re talking advanced level here, try to use Lang-8 and similar resources on a scheduled basis, such as a journal entry every day or every other day.

And make sure to push yourself.

If you just talk about your daily life in every entry, you’ll be using the same vocabulary over and over.

Pushing beyond intermediate and advanced stages means getting a little creative: Try writing book and movie reviews, political opinions, tutorials for sports or games, religious manifestos, you name it!

This site allows you to contact native speakers for Skype calls, live meetups or pen pal exchanges.

While it gives all of these options, I find it’s best for seeking out pen pals—a lot of people on the site are willing to exchange emails every now and then.

This is great because, like Lang-8, it forces you to write long letters rather than quick texts, and you’ll get corrections!

Again, push yourself out of your comfort zone and talk about a variety of subjects (though political opinions or religious manifestos might not be as appropriate when writing directly to another person).

If you’re just writing on your own and you’re not sure about a particular phrase, try typing it into the Google search bar.

If it autocompletes, you’re probably right!

If you’re still not sure, search the phrase in quotes to see if native speakers commonly use it.

While you might already be familiar with the online multilingual dictionary WordReference , you may not have taken advantage of the site’s extensive forums.

The forums are a fantastic resource because native speakers and learners discuss the nuances of all kinds of vocabulary.

This is a boon for the intermediate-advanced learner who’s moved beyond your standard bilingual or monolingual dictionary!

italki is a popular site that’s geared towards learners who want to practice their languages over video call (though it has features similar to Lang-8, too).

On italki, you can also hire an online tutor if you choose.

Language exchanges with partners involve speaking your target language for a set amount of time, and then switching to practicing the other.

So look for a serious partner on these sites who’s willing to brutally correct you and talk about a variety of subjects!

You can check out our full, in-depth italki review here .

When you’re a beginner, it’s easy to absorb what’s around you—the common vocabulary, grammar and other basic conversational stuff.

When you’re at the high-intermediate or advanced stage, you know that there are still linguistic bits you’re missing, but doing the same old things that worked as a beginner doesn’t necessarily cut it anymore.

Goals are key here —they can vary widely, from learner to learner, but they help maintain your progress.

To make sure you stay on track, set mid-term goals.

Your long-term goal is probably fluency in the language, and you’re still working towards that.

But mid-term goals keep you on track from week to week and month to month.

These can include things like:

  • To be able to comfortably have casual conversations within two months
  • To be able to talk about your work at a job interview level within [number] months
  • To be able to understand classical literature in your language within [number] weeks

Specific goals are best—you know what reaching the goal should look like, so you’ll know with certainty when you’re there.

Set mini goals too —these can be things you do on a daily basis.

Try to tailor them to your long-term goals, and they’ll help you along the way. For example:

  • Skype conversations once a week
  • Lang-8 journal entry three times a week

Learning plateaus are common in the intermediate stage and beyond.

You were used to making huge strides as a beginner, but now it may seem like it’s been a long time since you’ve made significant progress.

The good news is that these plateaus are not caused by your inability to learn a language.

If you harness the power of the intermediate and advanced stages, you can get better at your target language a lot faster.

The key to this is exposure to native resources—once you understand a little, that understanding builds on itself.

Personally, I’ve found that at the intermediate level, learning starts manifesting as sudden, almost inexplicable “jumps” in ability.

You’ve been improving all along, but you only notice the improvement when it’s dramatic.

So don’t worry about seeing progress every day.

Just carry on with your reading, listening, watching and talking, and be comforted by the idea that you’re surely still on track and you’re making progress. And someday soon, you’ll surprise yourself with fluency!

There you have it: Everything you need to know to move up to and beyond an advanced level without spending thousands on travel!

Travel is not a necessity for reaching proficiency in a language—not by a long shot.

And when you do eventually go, it’ll make your progress that much more rewarding!

If you dig the idea of learning on your own time from the comfort of your smart device with real-life authentic language content, you'll love using FluentU .

With FluentU, you'll learn real languages—as they're spoken by native speakers. FluentU has a wide variety of videos as you can see here:

Best translator, private too!

UPDATED! DeepL (Pro), how I love thee, let me count the ways: This is my favorite translator, with more accurate word definitions than I’ve found elsewhere (proven in my language classes, translating scores of documents I submitted for my residency permit, and for communication with my non-English speaking family), including suggested variations on word and phrase translations. The addition of features found in the other big translator—scanned live translation, photos, documents—means I can FINALLY delete that other app, much to my delight! If you use the online/desktop versions of this app, DeepL also has an editable and recallable glossary, and for those with a Pro account: formal and informal translation options (such as found in languages like German). You can even click on a word or phrase in the translation to trigger a pop up of suggested edits. Another bonus: the makers have designed this app with privacy in mind, collecting no personally identifying data. And one more thing: the big-name translator uses almost four times as much memory as this app. Thank you DeepL team!

Latest Version Lost Critical Functionality

This app isn’t cheap. But I have found it worth the price tag as its translation abilities from English to Portuguese are the best I’ve experienced. I live in Portugal and am very dependent on this app. But, sometimes it misses the right words and gets it all wrong. I have found its dictionary function invaluable to double-check certain words, so I can be sure its right before I send a message. So I was absolutely SHOCKED when this functionality disappeared recently, making the app no better than any other app (most far less expensive) out there. I sent a message and was informed that the dictionary function indeed has been disabled for the phone app. Why? This functionality was so useful and to disable it makes no sense. Also, its not what I purchased. I now need to go to a different app to look up certain words, which is ridiculous given that DeepL clearly has the ability to offer this as a phone app. Many of us use translation apps on our phones, not desktops, so this is very very disappointing and makes me lose confidence that with a paid subscription DeepL won’t make other decisions that take functionality away. I won’t continue paying for this app as it’s considerably less robust than when I purchased it almost a year ago.
This is my personal opinion on this app. In general, I think it’s great, and I would rate it five stars… apart from the fact that there are limited languages. Of course, that’s not the biggest deal, but that’s just what I believe. For example, Korean isn’t available (as stated by a few other reviews I’ve seen), so I commonly use translators that aren’t as accurate, and unequivocally they barely make sense with translations. Another conflict I have with limited languages is the image translator, since occasionally I need to translate photos — I was sad to see the language I needed was not available, and once again had to resort to inadequate translators. (Which thought some languages were other languages…) Other than that, the app is great and I love it! :) Edit: Okay, I have seen the new update and they added more languages! My points about this being a great app still stand and I would recommend this to anyone who needs a reliable translator.

The start of a new era for Siri.

Siri draws on Apple Intelligence for all-new superpowers. With an all-new design, richer language understanding, and the ability to type to Siri whenever it’s convenient for you, communicating with Siri is more natural than ever. Equipped with awareness of your personal context, the ability to take action in and across apps, and product knowledge about your devices’ features and settings, Siri will be able to assist you like never before.

Tap into the expansive product knowledge Siri has about your devices’ features and settings. You can ask questions when you’re learning how to do something new on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and Siri can give you step-by-step directions in a flash.

Siri, set an alarm for — oh wait no, set a timer for 10 minutes. Actually, make that 5.

Richer language understanding and an enhanced voice make communicating with Siri even more natural. And when you refer to something you mentioned in a previous request, like the location of a calendar event you just created, and ask ”What will the weather be like there?” Siri knows what you’re talking about.

A notification in the Apple TV+ app reminds you that a contact shared a show recommendation with you

Apple Intelligence empowers Siri with onscreen awareness , so it can understand and take action with things on your screen. If a friend texts you their new address, you can say “Add this address to their contact card,” and Siri will take care of it.

Snippets of information like calendar events, photos, and notes shows the many sources Siri can draw from

Awareness of your personal context enables Siri to help you in ways that are unique to you. Can’t remember if a friend shared that recipe with you in a note, a text, or an email? Need your passport number while booking a flight? Siri can use its knowledge of the information on your device to help find what you’re looking for, without compromising your privacy.

Photos library is shown on an iPhone along with a search description. A second iPhone is open to a single photo favorited based on the search. A third iPhone shows the photo incorporated into a note in the Notes app.

Seamlessly take action in and across apps with Siri. You can make a request like “Send the email I drafted to April and Lilly” and Siri knows which email you’re referencing and which app it’s in. And Siri can take actions across apps, so after you ask Siri to enhance a photo for you by saying “Make this photo pop,” you can ask Siri to drop it in a specific note in the Notes app — without lifting a finger.

Great powers come with great privacy.

Apple Intelligence is designed to protect your privacy at every step. It’s integrated into the core of your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through on-device processing. So it’s aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information. And with groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger server-based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests for you while protecting your privacy.

  • Your data is never stored
  • Used only for your requests
  • Verifiable privacy promise
