When to Use Difficult Words in English?

May 24, 2018 , by Dr Julian Northbrook
Got an interesting question today:
When to use difficult words in English?
The answer to this is pretty simple. Use them when it’s appropriate and beneficial to use them. Simple right? Well, kinda... You see, here’s the big mistake you might be making: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tXWJFViTd0

See how that works?

All this is kinda obvious... but you'd be amazed at how many people don't get it. If you want to learn big difficult words that just confuse people and make you look stupid, I can’t help you. But if you want to speak clear, intelligent sounding English that people understand? You’ll want to pick up a copy of my book, Master English FAST. [Julian]

P.S. In Master English FAST we go far deeper than the typical, shallow English learning and aim to speak at an extraordinarily high level (Click Here).
