What do you understand by 'phonics?'?
Dear all,
I have just made a studies plan to pick up / remember one vocabulary, phrasal word, grammar, phonics and idiom respectively. To make it effective, do you have a suggestion how should I start up with as I want to pick up those in common use instead of solely get a grammar book to follow through alphabetically. I understand not all of them are in common use.
Your kind information will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
(NB. I make a list of Grammar / Phonics / Word / Phrasal Word / Idiom of the day & post them on my working table to encourage myself to work hard)

I don't think you should be so aggressive as to learn one vocabulary a day.
As a non-native English speaker, you should learn the language step by step.
I am studying at university in Hong Kong and major in English.
By "one vocabulary, one phrasal word", do you mean "one word, one phrasal verb"?
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
Yes, I mean one word. Shall I say vocabulary or word?
Thank you.
Say 'word'. Here's the definition of 'vocabulary':
Concise Oxford English Dictionary © 2008 Oxford University Press:
vocabulary
▶noun (pl. vocabularies)
- 1 the body of words used in a particular language or in a particular sphere of activity.
- ■ the body of words known to an individual person.
■ a list of difficult or foreign words with an explanation of their meanings.
