Learning vocabulary is not as straightforward as reading a dictionary and memorizing.

Many words have multiple connotations.

Today, find out what that means and how you can start to figure out what native speakers mean when they use certain words.

Yeah, well, we're going to answer an interesting listener question.

So, well, Lindsay, why do we talk about, like a lot of times on the show, we're talking about positive and negative connotations of words.

Why do we talk about this?

Right, right.

What's beneath the surface, like we're digging deeper.

We're not just saying, okay, here are your vocabulary words on a page.

Yeah.

And there you go.

There's so much more to learning English or any language.

Very good question because we do always throw this word around.

So...

Let's really dig deeper into what does it really mean?

We certainly use it a lot.

And like Lindsay said, this is kind of the meaning behind the word, the association, the implication, the feeling, right?

That's what a connotation is.

Yeah, exactly.
