Importance of English Vocabulary
English has become the world’s most widely used and spoken language – both in schools and in professional spheres. The need for everyone to learn it has grown significantly to survive in our globalized, hyperconnected world as English has become the default language that binds people from different regions and ethnicities together in our dynamic societies.
Besides this, growing vocabulary especially help children in the following ways:
- Vocabulary development is linked to academic success.
- In kindergarten, a child’s vocabulary size predicts his or her ability to learn and read.
- Children’s vocabulary aids their ability to think and learn about the world.
- Expanding a child’s vocabulary gives them unrestricted access to new information.
The art of learning a new language is not just to build your vocabulary but also to master the art of using it the right way. And this podcast is perfectly conceptualized to help you learn the parts of speech in a super fun story telling way.

What are Parts of Speech?
The part of speech identifies how a word functions both grammatically and in terms of meaning within a sentence.

When using a dictionary, knowing the parts of speech is critical for determining the correct definition of a word.
