Hi friends in this video you're going to learn how to do really, really well on the two vocabulary
questions on the Duolingo English Test. For these questions you need to select and click on the real
English words like this, you click on the real ones, and you ignore the ones that are not real.
And there are two different question types. One is where you read and select the real words, and the
other is where you listen and select the real words. A question I get asked a lot is What is a
real word? Well, don't overthink it. A real word is simply a word with a meaning. For example, this
word here means this maybe a more difficult word would be this one dismay, which means to have deep
concern about something both of these are real words because they have a meaning some words which
are not real or fake might be these ones here we have valatie trovan These words they look and
sound like real English words, but they are not real because they have no meaning. So just to keep
it simple, a real word is a word which has a meaning attached to it. So now you know what do
you lingo mean by a real word? Now let's take a look at some tips to help you succeed on these two
vocabulary question types. Number one, don't guess only select the words you know, the reason why I
say don't guess is because it's actually impossible to guess. If you look at these words,
again, these could be real English words because they do follow the correct English spelling rules
and the pronunciation rules as well but they're not real because there's no meaning attached to
them. So it's actually impossible to guess. So my first suggestion is for you to only select the
words you actually know are real because you know the meaning of them. Also don't select all of the
words because you will lose points if you choose words which are not real. So don't guess just
choose the words you know are real English words. All word categories are considered real. For
example, swim swam swims. So all verb categories, like in this example, but also all different words
adjectives, adverbs conjunctions, any word can come up in the list, so go through it carefully
and select all the words which have a meaning. Number three is to build your vocabulary. The best
way to prepare for these question types is to keep learning new words. You can learn new words by
going through topic related vocabulary. For example, here, you might think of a topic like
technology and then learn lots of words based on that topic. Another way to build your vocabulary
is to learn affixes. affixes are parts of words which come at the start or at the end of a word.
For example, a prefix comes at the start, like re dis over into, and suffixes come at the end like
tion meant EJ ol. Learning vocab related to topics or with affixes is a good way. You could also
study large word lists to test yourself, such as the ones you can find on the Oxford Learner's
Dictionary here. This is a fantastic word list you can go through just to recap or learn new words.
Another way to prepare for this question type is to practice with a time limit. For both of these
question types you don't get long to go through the lists and choose the real words. So being able
to practice with a time limit and improve your speed is important. For this, I recommend you
visit our website d t ready.com. And practice with our practice platform. Like I said, you can
practice with the correct time limit and check your answers immediately. Also, we have a
dictionary function so you can learn the words you did not know you can learn the definition and by
clicking the speaker you can learn the pronunciation because a lot of times when someone
learns a new word, they just learned the spelling and how it's written out. They don't learn how
it's pronounced but of course, English pronunciation and spelling rules don't match
always so it's very important for you to learn the pronunciation of new words your learning. This of
course will help you with the listen and select vocabulary question on the Duolingo test again,
our practice platform on dTT. ready we'll help you with that. Next tip is to always take your time
and double check your answers. And you can change your answer if needed. Even though the time limit
is quite short, it's still really important for you to double check. Even for me when I do this
question type I always have to double check because I do miss words. So take your time double
check and you can change your answers as many times as you want to as long as it's within the
time limit. So those were some tips now let's jump into some practice. I prepared 10 practice
questions for you five read then select and five have listened and select and the answers will come
up at the end of each question. We will start the practice in one second by just quickly want to let
