E2
About this episode

One of the biggest questions we get at E2 is ‘how can I improve my vocabulary?’ and we get this from everyone! Beginners, intermediates, OET and IELTS students, and even students doing a masters degree! But did you know that sometimes one single word can be slightly changed to mean something slightly different? You don’t have to learn a new word to improve your vocabulary; just slightly modify one of the words you already use!

In this episode, we look at the root word "decide" and other words such as decision, indecision, decided, undecided, decisive, indecisive and more!

And if you ever want a bit more practice before your English test, make sure you head to www.e2testprep.com and sign up for our free online English test prep courses for IELTS, PTE, OET, TOEFL, TOEIC and CELPIP.
