Today, I would like to impart a few simple suggestions for improving one’s vocabulary and these would hold true any language; be it English, French, Spanish, or Chinese.
The first thing to know is to keep things very simple.
Keep texts simple and clean and do not try to learn words with different meanings to start with.

In French, it would be Savoir and connaître and in Spanish it would be saber and conocer.

I am going to leave you with a terrific reference to check out.
Please see below.
