Learning Academic English Vocabulary

                Academic English vocabulary is the most difficult thing to learn in English for many reasons.  There are too many academic words, so it is difficult to memorize.  Academic English words can have different meanings in other sentences. For example, the word complex can have different meanings such as complicated or a group of buildings.  Also, there are many academic words we don’t use every day. Therefore, they are difficult to learn.  For instance, we don’t see the word “awareness” in many books or newspapers, but we can see the synonym “knowledge” everywhere and every day. Academic words describe complicated things or ideas.  To illustrate, the word “nuclear” is a very complicated word to describe.  It is a physical and chemical category which is defined as the smallest thing in the world, and to understand this is very difficult.  Finally, academic English words can be considered the most difficult thing to learn in English.  Academic English vocabulary is difficult not only for international students but also for native English speakers!
