Sometimes it's so difficult to choose the right word for my students. I think it's the lack of the practice. My problem is that I use correct words and very often can't explain why I use them. Where can I find the answer how to choose the right words besides dictionaries?
Often, the right word is a matter of taste rather than grammar. It very much depends on the circumstance.
I'm very proud of them especially when I hear about their achievament in the field of teaching. Coming back toour discussion I just want to say that Vocabulary is one of the most important factors in learning languages.

There is no doubt about that. It beats the hell out of pointing and grunting.

When you teach English as a second language the students often complain about reading rules, grammar tenses, spelling and of course vocabulary. Let's take for example the verb "To look". As a beginner they have to know the following phrases: "look for" look after" look up" look forward to" look at" look like" etc. It's really hard to remember, isn't it?
