The impact of studying the vocabulary for this class has changed the way that I read the text and how I go about words that I do not know or vaguely remember. It has also helped me expand my vocabulary that I use everyday. During learning the vocabulary I learn to look for context clues to help me figure out words that I don’t know, Instead of automatically asking another person what the words is; looking it up in the dictionary or even avoiding the word and coming back to it after I have finished reading. I also have noticed that some of the vocabulary words that we have learned for this class are being used around me by people I know and also in the videogames that I have played and when I hear them or see it, I think to myself, “Hey I know that word, I just learned that.” Yes I do notice that I have been using some of these words in my everyday vocabulary now that I have learned them for this class. I do remember the majority of the words after I took the vocabulary test, but some of them I did forget or still remember vaguely because I do not use them in my everyday conversations, or I just do not know them as well as I know the rest of the words.

I agreed with you when you said that you hear other people around you used the vocabulary words. And when you hear them, don't you feel smart because you know the word now? Well I've been using the words in my conversations lately so that's good because it shows im improving my vocabulary. Just like you, I also have forgotten some words already but you should just skim them over from time to time to not forget them. You should start using them more often though because it will really help your vocabulary and speech skills.
I also agree with what you said about people using them around you. Before even learning the words i would always ignore the big words in conversations. Now that i know them i feel smart and is able to use them in my conversations. I also agree with what you said about the video games. Now that i know what they mean people seem to ask me now "What does that word mean?" And it feels good to tell them.
