one of my strategies to improve my vocabulary and the meaning of different words is to learn with duolingo, it is a tool that provides many study options, the truth is that every time I get a notification on my cell phone saying that I haven't practiced, it takes me immediately to perfect myself in my disciplines and be more applied in the time I take daily to learn. I normally play 20 minutes a day, but when I let several days pass and I do it again, I try to do it for twice as long as I normally do daily.

The next strategy that I use is to watch movies in English with Spanish subtitles. I am a student of audiovisual media and I am emphasizing cinema, therefore this leads me to watch many movies.

Contextual learning: Movies provide visual context that helps me understand the meaning of the words and phrases I hear. I can deduce the meaning of an unknown word from the context of the scene.

and finally something that helps me a lot is listening to music in English, I play several musical instruments and listening to music of different genres helps me enrich my talent as a musician and listening to it helps me memorize easier: The repetition of words and phrases in a melody Sticky makes it easier to memorize and retain vocabulary and grammatical structures compared to other study methods.
